UK to shift anti-terror strategy
Military and Security    2/16/2009 2:00:00 PM
 
LONDON, Feb 16 (KUNA) -- The British Government is preparing a major shift in its counter-terrorism strategy to combat radicalisation, the BBC's current affairs programme "Panorama" revealed Monday.
The programme, entitled "Muslim First, British Second," will be broadcast on BBC TV tonight.
In a preview of the programe, conservative Muslims who teach that Islam is incompatible with Western democracy will be challenged as part of a new approach.
A senior British Government source told Panorama that Muslim leaders who urge separation will be isolated and publicly rejected.
He also said this would occur even if their comments fell within the law.
This will include those who argue that Muslims should not vote and that homosexuals should be condemned on religious grounds.
Panorama's source said that Britain "needs to identify and back shared values" and that this new thinking will be central to a new counter-terrorism policy called "Contest 2" due to be launched this Spring.
It has also been told by a separate counter-terrorism source that more emphasis will be placed on gathering intelligence about extremism from inside the Muslim community.
The UK Home Office is currently spending 80 million pounds on community projects designed to stop young Muslims from being radicalised and the source said that some of these projects are being targeted by intelligence analysts.
However, this was denied by the police.
Sir Norman Bettison from the Association of Chief Police Officers, who, when asked if community projects are being used as "Trojan horses" to gather information, told the programme there was "no dedicated intelligence gathering" as part of the "Prevent" community work.
The Government's counter-terrorism strategy is based on what officials call the "Four Ps", prevent, pursue, protect and prepare. (end) he.rk KUNA 161400 Feb 09NNNN
