David Cameron is planning new powers to muzzle Islamic hate preachers accused of provoking terrorist outrages such as the killing of soldier Lee Rigby.
The Prime Minister wants to stop extremist clerics using schools, colleges, prisons and mosques to spread their ‘poison’ and is to head a new Tackling Extremism and Radicalisation Task Force (TERFOR) made up of senior Ministers, MI5, police and moderate religious leaders.
The high-powered group will study a number of measures, including banning extremist clerics from being given public platforms to incite students, prisoners and other followers – and forcing mosque leaders to answer for ‘hate preachers’.
It will also urge Muslim ‘whistleblowers’ to report clerics who act as terrorist apologists to the police. The launch of TERFOR signals a major overhaul of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy in the wake of the brutal murder of Drummer Rigby on Wednesday.
A senior Whitehall source said: ‘The PM is determined to challenge the poisonous narrative of extremist clerics and confront religious leaders who promote violence.’
The move comes as:

The “moderates” Cameron brings in to this may very well be the “extremists” he says he wants to fight.
Cameron = BS.
It’s about time — just hope it will be effective.
Sounds like smoke and mirrors. If western governments were as adept at fighting terrorism as they are at inventing acronyms, we wouldn’t have a terror problem to invent acronyms for.
Sounds like Cameron may have some good ideas. Couldn’t do those things here because of our Constitution.
Good move David Cameron! Time to empty the cesspool of true islam & see what’s sitting at the bottom.
So Cameron’s dramatic step is to appoint a committee, which will report back sometime and then propose some proposals which will be considered further.
I’m afraid so.
We live in a world of insane political leaders who prefer to blame anyone or anything but the insane criminals who kill people.
We get gun control laws in the US and in the UK since they already have gun control laws they come up with a speech control policy.
No. When muslims don’t have infidels to kill, they kill each other. Muslims kill. It’s their only function.
Look for those British to take the law into their own hands.
Remember what Michael Savage has said, America has guns, guns, guns, guns.
Let’s see how well this works at the next mass Muslim demonstration when they’re carrying placards about beheading non-believers and ending democracy.
In the US, obama is gagging Tea Partiers who love their Constitution.
That’s what the Swedes starting doing last week when the police were overwhelmed by their rioters.
Pssst! CaMoron, the scuzzlims are all on board with the hate clerics. It's what islam is.
More too-little-too-late hand slapping, as if hand-slapping would do the job in the first place. Politicians are a joke wherever you find them, a bunch of fainting goats. Time to stop denying people the right to keep and bear arms (even those in Britain, *GASP*) and let them handle it.
Here is a quote from the Woolrich terror killer that is spot on:
“Remove your governments. They don’t care about you. Do you think David Cameron is gonna get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? Do you think the politicians are going to die? No it’s going to be the average guy, like you, and your children. So get rid of them.”
Jeez, some nut like that walks the streets of Houston would be shot multiple times by the locals. And the DA, Mike Anderson, would go for a “no bill”.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Bad precedent. Let them say what they want easier to find who they are when the time comes.
