Prevent has been criticised for discriminating against people of Muslim faith or backgrounds
David Cameron and a right-leaning thinktank have warned the government to defend its flagship counter-extremism strategy from criticisms or risk enabling terrorism.
Its release comes after Priti Patel has indicated she wishes to overhaul the strategy in the wake of the murder of the Conservative MP Sir David Amess. A spokesperson for the MCB said Policy Exchange has consistently led efforts to discourage cooperation between the authorities and the Muslim Council of Britain.
“Despite the government having a near absolute monopoly on power and access to mainstream media and PR agencies, the report promotes a false reality of ‘unopposed activists’ critiquing Prevent in order to explain away communities’ wholesale rejection of Prevent.”
