Terror Asbos For Extremists Under PM Plans

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 04 Desember 2013 | 23.15

Asbos for terrorists and extremists could be introduced under new proposals from a task force set up by the Prime Minister.

The Terror and Extremist Behaviour Order (Tebo) would mean civil authorities could take action against people seeking to radicalise others, in a similar way to the existing Anti-Social Behaviour Orders.

The measures were unveiled by David Cameron during his trip to China.

He said: "This summer we saw events that shocked the nation with the horrific killing of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich and murder of Mohammed Saleem in Birmingham.

"These tragedies were a wake-up call for Government and wider society to take action to confront extremism in all its forms, whether in our communities, schools, prisons, Islamic centres or universities.

"I have been absolutely clear that this is not something we should be afraid to address for fear of cultural sensitivities. We have already put in place some of the toughest terrorism prevention controls in the democratic world, but we must work harder to defeat the radical views which lead some people to embrace violence."

The taskforce report sets out officially for the first time a definition of Islamist radicalism, making clear that it is a distinct ideology which should not be confused with traditional religious practice.

Other measures include internet filters to block extremist websites and new powers to deal with groups which raise funds for terrorist purposes or spread extremist messages under the guise of charities.

The task force, led by Home Secretary Theresa May, makes clear that the problem that must be dealt with is not simply violent extremism itself, but activities which radicalise others in a way which might lead them into extremist action.

Mr Cameron said he wanted to see "an end to hate preaching in Britain" and said he would ensure the recommendations of the report were implemented.

He said: "There are just too many people who have been radicalised in Islamic centres, who have been in contact with extremist preachers, who have accessed radicalising information on the internet and haven't been sufficiently challenged. I want to make sure in our country that we do this effectively."

The task force has also suggested more support needs to be given to communities where extremism is a particular problem and making it easier for people to report extremist content online.

In addition it suggests monitoring prisoners who have shown extremist views of behaviour while in prison.

The report defines Islamist extremism as "a distinct ideology which should not be confused with traditional religious practice (and)... is based on a distorted interpretation of Islam, which betrays Islam's peaceful principles".

Islamist extremists describe Western intervention in Muslim countries as a "war on Islam" and seek to impose a global Islamic state under Sharia law, says the report.

It adds: "Their ideology also includes the uncompromising belief that people cannot be Muslim and British, and insists that those who do not agree with them are not true Muslims."

Mr Cameron said that the task force had also looked at Islamophobic extremism, such as the murder of 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem, who was stabbed to death by a Ukrainian student as he walked home from a mosque earlier this year.
