Quote:“All the terrorist attacks across Britain committed since my review was commissioned have been Islamist in nature,” Shawcross said.
He's either as stupid as you or lying:
It's the third option: you are a militant, Bbwiyawnesque moron who comprehends nothing.
Go sweep up.
Prevent must return to its core mission – countering all those ideologies that can lead people to committing or supporting acts of terrorism. This can only be done if Prevent properly understands the nature of these ideologies and how they attract and suborn individuals.
It is correct for Prevent to be increasingly concerned about the growing threat from the Extreme Right. But the facts clearly demonstrate that the most lethal threat in the last 20 years has come from Islamism, and this threat continues.
Since this Independent Review of Prevent was commissioned in 2019, six terrorist attacks have blighted our nation. These took place at Fishmongers’ Hall (November 2019), Whitemoor Prison (January 2020), Streatham (February 2020), Reading (June 2020), Southend (October 2021), and Liverpool (November 2021). In addition, shortly before this report was completed, a British citizen held Jewish civilians hostage at a synagogue in Texas (January 2022). All these attacks were Islamist in nature.
Prevent must address all extremist ideologies proportionately according to the threat each represents. However, my research shows that the present boundaries around what is termed by Prevent as extremist Islamist ideology are drawn too narrowly while the boundaries around the ideology of the extreme right-wing are too broad. This does not allow Prevent to reflect accurately, and deal effectively with, the lethal risks we actually face.

Other democracies have programmes similar to Prevent. But rarely are these subjected to the same critical attack as is Prevent in Britain. One of the most constant and strident accusations is that Prevent unfairly targets Muslims living here. This is simply not the case.
Islamism as an ideology is not the same as Islam as a faith. In many parts of the world, Muslims are the principal victims of Islamist extremism – in both its non-violent and violent manifestations. Millions have been killed or had their lives ruined by the attacks of terrorist groups like al-Qa’ida, Islamic State, Boko Haram, and others. It is not anti-Muslim to try to prevent the spread of that brutal ideology in Britain or to stop our country’s Muslim children being lured online into the hell of Islamist wars in Syria and elsewhere.
...
It is also vital to acknowledge that all too often those who commit terrorist acts in this country have been previously referred to Prevent.
This review seeks to address why Prevent apparently failed to understand the danger in these cases and how such failures might be avoided in the future.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-review-of-prevents-report... "Prevent" was set up by the UK Government in 2005, to prevent so-called "radicalisation" after "British" jihadists blew up the London Tube. Twenty years on, it has evolved somewhat:
Concern over mass migration is terrorist ideology, says PreventGot that? If you think "mass migration" is an issue, the Government marks you down as a supporter of an "extreme right-wing terrorist ideology".
Treating your citizenry as terrorists would appear to be incentivising terrorism, wouldn't it? After all, if they're going to treat you like the IRA, you might as well be the IRA.
But, if politics cannot include the subject of the demographic eclipse of a nation's people, then it's time to do move on from politics, as "Prevent" seems to be planning for - and to proceed, in America as in Europe, to the next stage.
Alternatively: good luck with that "sensible debate".So concern, let alone speaking, about mass migration is terrorist ideology.
