'I will gag the hate clerics': Cameron to launch new terror task force... (trunc title)

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:

• It was revealed that Woolwich suspect Michael Adebolajo was known to MI5 after being held over terror charges in Kenya and deported to the UK.
• The Mail on Sunday has been told that Adebolajo was offered cash by MI5 to work for them – then sought legal help to ‘get them off his back’ after refusing to do so.
• Cleric Omar Bakri described Adebolajo as a ‘hero’ for remaining at the murder scene.
• Two-thirds of Britons backed a clampdown on hate preachers in a Mail on Sunday poll, which also found strong voter support for the way Mr Cameron reacted to the horrific incident.

"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men... No stronger retrograde force exists in the world." -Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).

“One cannot incite to riot, murder and violence as speech”

Nailhead.

Sadly, some here are ill informed about what is considered “speech”.

6 YEARS AGO - FREEPER SINGS “MUSLIMS IN LONDON”

[Peter Libra]

Muslims In London

Your work ranks with the other skit on the Muslims in which a scull squeaks " Silence, or I will kill you!"

The only criteria I would use with with Prime Minister Cameron is this.

Only deal as harshly with the radical imams, as your authorities have dealt with some poor Englishman. An Englishman who argued with a muslim neighbour about the war in Iraq. It was the Englishman that was taken to court. The vile tactic of leaving a person hanging and going to court under threat of prison. Then withdrawing charges.

Ah Prime Minister, study the history of your ancestors, the Scots, says I.

I should have identified the other great skit.
