Britain to announce new laws on fighting Islamic extremism
[IsraelTimes] In first policy announcement since election victory, Cameron to present new measures to combat 'poisonous Islamist ideology'British Prime Minister  David Cameron... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... was to announce new laws to combat "poisonous Islamist ideology" Wednesday in his first major policy announcement since winning last week's general election. His center-right Conservative government is to include a new law to "defeat extremism" in its legislative program which will be announced to parliament by Queen Elizabeth II on May 27. Britannia's strategy on Islamist extremism has been in the spotlight for months since Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) executioner "Jihadi John" was identified as Mohammed Emwazi from London and a string of young people left Britannia to fight for the IS group in Syria. Cameron is to say Britannia has been "passively tolerant" for too long and will vow to "turn the page on this failed approach," according to his office. The new measures are expected to go further than under the last Cameron-led administration because their former coalition partners, the centrist Liberal Democrats, blocked some measures. The legislation is set to include new banning orders for "extremist organizations" seen as responsible for radicalizations and restrictions on people deemed bully boyz who seek to enter Britannia. The government will also get powers to close premises "where bully boyz seek to influence others", and there would be new powers against charities which divert funds towards groups labelled Lion of Islam and terrorist. "We will introduce legislation to combat groups and individuals who reject our values and promote messages of hate," Home Secretary Theresa May is to say, according to Cameron's office. The measures were set to be unveiled at the first meeting of the National Security Council under Cameron's new government. The Moslem Council of Britannia umbrella group criticized the government's approach to the issue earlier this year, calling for more consultation with Moslem communities. "Rather than relying on a premise of a conveyor belt from conservative and non-violent extremism to violent extremism that lacks credence, a fresh approach is required," its secretary-general Shuja Shafi wrote in March.
