The home secretary has vowed to "systematically confront and
challenge extremist ideology" as she detailed new curbs on those who
"spread hate".
Radical preachers will be banned from posting material online and anyone
with convictions for extremist activity will be barred from working with
children.
Deradicalisation classes will be made mandatory for others deemed a
threat.
But Muslim leaders warned the strategy "continues down a flawed
path" and risks "alienating" Muslims in the UK
Also among the measures within the counter-extremism strategy are:
- A
full review of public institutions such as schools, further and higher
education colleges, local authorities, the NHS and the civil service to
ensure they are protected from "entryism" - or infiltration - by
extremists
- An
official investigation into the application of Sharia law in the
- Extremism
disruption orders to stop individuals engaging in extremist behaviour
- Closure
orders for law enforcement and local authorities to close down premises used
to support extremism
- Tougher
powers for broadcasting regulator Ofcom so action can be taken against
radio and television channels showing extremist content
- Demands
that internet service providers do more to remove extremist material and
identify those responsible for it
- Anyone
with a conviction or civil order for extremist activity will also be
automatically barred from working with children and vulnerable people
Prime Minister David Cameron said the plan would work because it was
"comprehensive" .
"It's no good leaving this simply to the police or the intelligence
services. It's no good simply talking about violent extremism. We need to
confront all extremism," he said.
