THE TELEGRAPH: Muslim extremists should be banned from handing out literature and prevented from sitting on public bodies, David Cameron has said.
The Conservative leader has also accused ministers and councils of allowing fanatics to benefit from public grants to Muslim bodies.
"The Government has allowed hundreds of thousands of pounds to local authorities to improve community cohesion, but there are worrying signs that ministers have taken their eye off the ball," he said.
"I will be making proposals to isolate extremists and make certain they cannot obtain public grants or get invited to sit on public bodies.
"That won't just apply to Islamic extremists. We will be equally vigilant in ensuring that groups linked to the BNP or animal rights militants are excluded too.
"The message should be clear - to those who preach hate, to those who encourage violence, you are not part of the mainstream, you will not get public funding." 'Muslim fanatics benefiting from public grants' >>> By Andrew Porter, Political Editor
