Government Tells Mosques: Force Out The Preachers of Hate Eric Pickles writes to 1,100 imams and community leaders, urging them to tackle radicals and make young Muslims proud of Britain

Channel 4 has defended plans to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer every morning during Ramadan by suggesting there are more Muslims in Britain than people who tuned in to watch the Queen's coronation anniversary service. Channel 4 will broadcast the call to prayer at sunrise on television and over the internet as part of plans to appeal to young Muslims Photo:

By Matthew Holehouse, 18 Jan 2015 The Government has taken the unprecedented step of writing to every mosque in the country to tell Muslim leaders that they must do more to root out the “men of hate” who are preaching extremism.

Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, has written to 1,100 imams and Islamic leaders urging them to publicly condemn the Al Qaeda terrorists behind the Paris massacres, the Daily Telegraph has learned.

Whitehall is unable to defeat jihadist ideology alone and Muslim leaders have “a responsibility” to prevent young men and women from becoming radicalised, Mr Pickles said in a letter sent last Friday.

The letter says that Imams must explain to young people what it means to be British. And it says that mosques who identify hate preachers within their midst can receive free legal advice to force them out. Mr Pickles’ letter comes at a time when tension between communities in Britain is running high.

If we would only do that here.

The Queen has proven to be a completely worthless doormat and has no shame in letting in a former mistress (Camilla) and I do think that Charles LOVES the idea of a completely submissive wife who doesn’t balk at a mistress and likes the idea of a population ignorant and passive.

I understand that in the UK there are severe laws enacted against "Hate". I read on FR sometime back that a man got into a heated argument with his neighbour. It was about American actions against Iraq. The neighbour was a muslim.

The Englishman was threatened with imprisonment and evaded it by taking sensitivity training. This by a court of law.

The arrant cowardice of it all!
