Cash to tackle threat of white supremacists
Efforts to tackle violent extremism should not focus solely on potential Islamist terrorists, a senior Cabinet Minister said yesterday as he announced new funding to target the threat from white supremacists.
Communities Secretary John Denham said al-Qaida-inspired terrorism was still the main threat against the UK and reaffirmed the Government's commitment to stop young Muslims being indoctrinated into violence.
But he called for councils
and the police to turn their attention to radicalisation by white racist extremists and pledged an extra 5m for councils in England.
Where neo-Nazi groups are present, Muslims should not be the only groups targeted by the authorities, he said.
He said: "It is important that local Muslim communities do not feel they are being singled out if other forms of extremism are a threat in the area."
