GROWING NUMBER OF MUSLIM CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS NINE YEARS OLD SHOWING SIGN OF "ISLAMIC EXTREMISM" AND GETTING REFERRED TO GOVERNMENT FUNDED DE-RADICALIZATION PROGRAM(UK)

And police have revealed a total of 2,653 young people aged 15 to 24 were referred to government-funded de-radicalisation programmes between 2006 and 2013.

According to a report by Islamic campaign group CAGE, schoolchildren are being reported to the authorities by schools, youth workers and doctors, amid concerns they are exhibiting signs of extremism.

Research included in the 56-page document claims children with extreme political views are being sent for “deprogramming”.

The group, which is closely linked to former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg, 45, arrested last week on suspicion of Syria-related terror offences, reckons the Government is overstepping the mark by targeting kids for its Prevent Strategy.

The strategy is designed to tackle the problem of terrorism at its roots, preventing people from supporting terrorism or becoming terrorists themselves.

Cases quoted in the findings include: “A nine-year-old schoolboy in east London, who was referred to the authorities after allegedly showing signs of extremism – the youngest case known in Britain. He was ‘deprogrammed’ according to a source with knowledge of the case.”

And in Blackburn, Lancs, “at least 80 people were reported to the authorities for showing signs of extremism. They were referred to the Channel project, part of Prevent”.

CAGE claims the findings are part of the “criminalisation” of the Muslim community in the UK and have led to Britain becoming a “Security state” for followers of Islam.

In 2006/07 just five individuals were referred to a “multi-agency panel” to deal with potential terrorists but that figure had increased to 748 in 2012/13 with the overall total reaching 2,653 cases in just seven years.

And groups which get Prevent Strategy cash have also been accused of milking taxpayers.

One east London-based radical told us the authorities’ attempts to “turn him” following his release were little more than a box-ticking exercise.

TO US IT IS RADICALIZATION BUT TO MUSLIMS IT'S JUST ISLAM THAT IS WHY THEY FEEL TARGETED AND SEE THEMSELVES AS THE VICTIMS OF "ISLAMOPHOBIA".
