Jacqui Smith - Ban all radical websites

Jan 17 2008

Birmingham Mail

 

HOME Secretary Jacqui Smith will today outline the Government's strategy to tackle radicalisation among Britain's Muslims.

The Redditch MP's speech at the International Centre for Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence, in central London, will urge internet providers to remove al Qaida and extremists' websites. Ms Smith's first major speech on terror since she became Home Secretary comes after details of an extremist website containing threats against the Prime Minister and calling for the creation of a British al Qaida were revealed.

The speech will call for action against people who groom others to commit acts of terrorism.

The Home Office set up the Research, Information and Communication Unit specifically to counter al Qaida's efforts to manipulate individuals and groups.

Today a report quoted Whitehall sources claiming ministers would no longer use the term "war on terror" and would refer to jihadis as "criminals".

The source is quoted as saying: "As you disrupt radicalisation you must be aware of how you describe it and must not do so in a way that is inadvertently inflammatory."
