Home Office staff are free to be members of the Islamic extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, it was revealed yesterday.
Those working in the department responsible for immigration and homeland security do not even have to declare membership of the fanatical organisation, the Government admitted.
This means Home Secretary John Reid has no idea how many of his staff hold the group's radical views and he has no means of monitoring their activities.
The revelation - in a written parliamentary answer - comes after Home Office IT manager Abid Javaid, 41, was found to be a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which supports a worldwide Islamic state run under hardline Sharia law and has refused to condemn last year's London bombings.
Shadow Immigration Minister Damian Green said: "This is really shocking. It is a dereliction of duty for them not to find out how many more Hizb ut-Tahrir members are on the Home Office payroll."

Britain ought to at least put up a fight while it's being drowned...
The Home Office now serves the function of undermining the British People, opposite of what it once was.
" Absolutely bloody ridiculous! "
I see that folks on your side of the pond are really trying hard to unseat us as the reigning world champs at PC insanity....
Sadly, I'm way, way, way beyond being surprised or shocked by such carryings-on.....
To quote a famous "Pogo" cartoon from my mis-spent youth: "We has met the enemy, and he is us!"
humpft... even dumber than failing to deport the six Imams thrown off the US Airways flight last week !!!
Of course not, don't you know that they are protecting them by not letting them carry water onto a plane?
I sometimes ask just how did we get here????
Why are we in this mess??
Go back 30/40 years and we had what used to be called moral fibre!.......I wonder where that went!!
I also mis-spent my youth with Pogo - little knowing that he had it right on. Not so mis-spent after all, I guess.
Like hiring Nazis to work at the Likud.
And I've been living in the UK legally for 7 years and I can't get a permanent visa to save my life. Maybe I should change my name to Osama so the home boys at the Home Office will give me a stamp?
