  • Briefing Document on the Government's Anti-Terror Proposals
    . [email protected] . PO Box 273, Forest Gate, London E7 . 07956210332*07905 891299*07786776665 * 07958174451 protect our rights a briefing document on the governments anti- ..........terrorism proposals A joint analysis from UK’s leading civil society organisations . CONTENTS 1. Summary 2. Briefing 3. Text of Statement by the Prime Minister 4. Breakdown of Govt Proposals 5. Joint Statement To Protect Our Rights 6. Supporting Organisations 2 SUMMARY The UK’s counter-terrorism legislation is among the most developed in the world. There is no evidence that the wide-ranging powers, already in place, are in anyway inadequate to investigate and prosecute those involved in any way in the incidents that have recently occurred. Daily reporting of the progress of police investigations suggest that conventional police investigations are piecing together an extensive breadth and range of evidence. There are no suggestions by the police that they have been thwarted in any relevant investigation by any lack of legal powers. The greatest threat to our security comes not from an inability to counter terrorism but the government’s refusal to conduct an honest debate on the causes of the attacks against London in July 2005. In place of that debate, Tony Blair has turned the spotlight on Britain’s Muslim communities. British tolerance has fertilised terrorism, he suggests. Multiculturalism and human rights are to be the scapegoats. In the context of an ill advised and counter productive “war on terror”, these proposals pave the way for an equally misguided “war on Islamic extremism”. There can be no doubt that the measures they envisage – restrictions on free speech, freedom of association and freedom of conscience - coupled with the simplistic and inflammatory portrayal of Islam as a “dangerous” religion, will further alienate and marginalise the very communities in which the government professes to be combating radicalisation.

  • Islamic Radicalization in the Uk: Index of Radicalization
    ISLAMIC RADICALIZATION IN THE UK: INDEX OF RADICALIZATION Anna Wojtowicz, (Research Assistant, ICT) Sumer 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyze the process of radicalization amongst British Muslims in the United Kingdom. It begins with a review of the Muslim population, demographics and community structure. Further presenting several internal and external indicators that influenced and led to radicalization of Muslim youth in Britain. The paper concludes that there is no one certainty for what causes radicalization amongst Muslims in United Kingdom. However, it is certain that Islamic radicalization and the emergence of a homegrown threat is a growing trend that jeopardizes the countries security, peace and stability. Radicalization in the United Kingdom is an existing concern that needs to be addressed and acted upon immediately. Misunderstanding or underestimating the threat may lead to further and long term consequences. * The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 I.

  • Extremism in the Community: the Case of Shakeel Begg
    Extremism in the Community: The Case of Shakeel Begg Centre for the Response to Radicalisation and Terrorism Research Paper No. 8 (2017) Tom Wilson The Henry Jackson Society March 2017 EXTREMISM IN THE COMMUNITY: THE CASE OF SHAKEEL BEGG Executive Summary In October 2016, Justice Haddon-Cave dismissed a libel suit against the BBC, which had been brought before the High Court of Justice by Imam Shakeel Begg of the Lewisham Islamic Centre after the BBC had described Begg as an extremist. The judge found in favour of the BBC and concluded that Shakeel Begg is “an extremist Islamic speaker who espouses extremist Islamic positions”. Following this ruling, the trustees of the Lewisham Islamic Centre released a statement disputing the judgement. Accordingly, Begg has remained in his position as Head Imam at the mosque, where he also sits on the board of trustees. Lewisham Islamic Centre also has a problematic record with extremist speakers. Numerous extremist figures have been invited to speak at the mosque, including some who have promoted religiously motivated violence, anti-Semitism and homophobia. Over many years, Shakeel Begg has established himself firmly within a network of local interfaith and community groups and has also developed strong links with a number of public bodies. These activities have brought him into close contact with schools, local authority groups, police groups, the chaplaincy of a local hospital and the chaplaincy of a London university. The government’s 2015 Counter-Extremism Strategy and statutory Prevent duty guidance for public bodies make clear that public institutions should not be allowed to become uncontested spaces for extremists to operate and that they are not to legitimise extremists by working or meeting with them.

    SIDING WITH THE OPPRESSOR: The Pro-Islamist Left The One Law for All Campaign was launched on 10 December 2008, International Human Rights Day, to call on the UK Government to recognise that Sharia and religious courts are arbitrary and discriminatory against women and children in particular and that citizenship and human rights are non-negotiable. The Campaign aims to end Sharia and all religious courts on the basis that they work against, and not for, equality and human rights.

Augsburg Honors Review A Community Under Attack: The Foundations and Development of Islamism in London Katherine Pye Laidlaw Scholar, University of Oxford Abstract For nearly two decades, Islamic radicalization and the growth and development of global Islamism has dominated public media and policymaking discourse in Europe and America. Faced with terrorist attacks perpetrated by “home-grown” radicals, in Britain and across Europe and America, countering Islamic extremism from within has become a national and international priority. Hence, an understanding of what motivates some Muslims living in the west to reject so-called “western values” has been key. In the UK, government programs such as Prevent have sought, not uncontroversially, to identify “extremism” within communities before it becomes violent (Home Offce 2011). Yet, overlooked in this discourse is an appreciation of Islamism’s origins and what might have made it appealing in Britain before 9/11 and the War on Terror.
