Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) broadly welcomes today’s select committee report on ‘Preventing Violent Extremism.’
Â
IHRC is deeply disappointed by the UK Ministers’ acceptance of review recommendations that will allow school teachers to retain BNP membership.
IHRC has provided an extensive report to highlight how the prevent strategy demonises the Muslim Community.
The briefing argues that if the inherent flaws of the Preventing Violent Extremism strategy are not considered then the project will fail.
The Prevent strategy is doomed to fail in its objectives of preventing violent extremism unless and until it solves a number of inherent flaws.
Submission by the IHRC to the Home Office in response to the consultation document ‘Preventing Extremism Together: Places of Worship’ of 6 October 2005.
