More than 1,000 Muslims, including teenagers and children as young as seven, have been identified as being “at risk” of becoming Islamist terrorists in Britain, police have revealed.
The youngsters include a boy who told classmates he wanted “to go to Iraq and kill Americans” and another child who wrote in an exercise book: “I want to be a suicide bomber.” A 15-year-old white boy who converted to Islam said he was prepared to die for his religion.
The 1,000 cases were all referred for monitoring under a special “deradicalisation programme” called the “channel project”, set up by police, schools and social workers. Their numbers have increased dramatically in recent months, with 500 reported in the past year.
I would feel better if British children who turn their noses up at strange food were not also being identified as potential racists who need watching and treatment.
This sounds like “jobs created or saved.”
The childrens’ parents also need monitoring – and/or – given a warning to cease indoctrinating children, telling them in no uncertain terms that teaching their children violence, malignance aforethought and giving them a terrorist mind-set is criminal and they will be deported to Saudi Arabia or Yemen.
No further warning.
Zero tolerance.
#3 – I understand (and even, at times share) your sentiment. However, be very careful here. I cringe at the State having ‘thought police’ – which is what this is. And it has hit Christians practicing their faith in Britain, as well, with couples not allowed to adopt if they won’t not teach that homosexuality is normal and fine.
