The UK plans to block radical Islamist hate preachers from entering the country due to a surge in extremist activity after the Hamas terror attacks on Israel.
Immigration officials are compiling lists to bar extremists from countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Concerns over Islamist violence in Britain are rising, with calls for increased security for lawmakers.
The Charity Commission found radical sermons in British mosques post-attacks.
“Within the counter-extremism community, the Charity Commission is seen as the weak link. If they are constrained by regulation or by low funding, why haven’t they made some noise about it?” one source familiar with the dossier stated.
“We see these things happening again and again. Some of this stuff goes back decades. When are they going to raise their game? Most people should agree there should be some very solid red lines somewhere,” they said.
In contrast to the UK, French authorities swiftly deported a radical Imam promoting terrorism.
The Conservative government faces criticism for overlooking the threat of far-left groups, which are forming alliances with radical Islamists, posing a danger to democratic institutions.
Lord Walney emphasized the need to address the threat from anti-democratic far-left groups alongside Islamist extremism.
“There is a gap in the government’s understanding of damage that the anti-democratic far-Left can do,” Walney stated.
“They are now at the forefront of the threat to our democratic institutions – by manipulating protest movements, hijacking them with extreme illegitimate protest methods – this is one of the hallmarks of a number of far-Left groups,” he said.
“If you resort to these tactics, it’s not going to work… You can’t on the one hand be encircling and menacing someone’s office, and then be invited in for a cup of tea and a chat. We need to do more to protect our democratic decision-making.”
