Ministers Are Clueless On Curbing Prison Radicalisation….

…. Says London Mayor, Sadiq Khan.

//Recent press reports have questioned why Ahtsham Ali, the government adviser overseeing the approval of Muslim prison chaplains, had appointed 140 imams who follow hard-line Deobandi interpretations of Islam// A detailed report dated 2013 recommended that Muslim chaplains be deployed “to challenge the extremists” — that “appears to have been subverted”, he said. //

Getting rid of the imams, and Ahtsham Ali, would be a first step. Why is that so difficult? Our liberal efforts to embrace ‘multiculturalism’ don’t appear to be in the nation’s best interests.

A well chosen subject for Khan to start highlighting. Not just the politicians, the governors and rest of the prison service seem clueless too. Not that it seems easy to control, if it is true that preachers of hate are being allowed in.

this could be looked on as a standard argument on the lines of
"he isnt a good X, I am"

[Peter Pedant]

ministers are clearly clueless about how useless the protect anti radicalism program is
but that as they say is another story

[agchristie]

Is this a classic example of a system operating on a 'WING and a PRAYER'?
