This is the sort of pandering to right-wing Middle Englnders that people like Katie Hopkins, Sarah Vine and Richard Littlejohn make a career out of.

The Jihadists already like to believe that the West is full of Muslim-hating gun-toting hate-spewing racists, it's what inspires them to behave as they do.
For a government minister to espouse similar views, and thus enforce the Jihadists' sense of justification for their murders is simply unacceptable.

Mr Williamson is not an ignorant pub bore holding forth in the public bar, so he should stop behaving like one.
