Senior Government ministers have met UK Muslim leaders amid fears that the conflict in Gaza could fuel home-grown extremism. Skip related content
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and Communities Secretary Hazel Blears hosted a summit of council and community leaders and Government agencies. The Government has a £45 million programme aimed at challenging radical messages and turning youngsters away from terror. Ms Smith said the situation in Gaza was "tragic" and she had been personally moved by the suffering of Palestinians. She said: "That is why we continue to call for an immediate ceasefire. "I know that concerns are particularly acute for some communities in Britain, which is why the Government has been maintaining a regular dialogue with both members of the British Muslim community and representatives from the Jewish community. "With events in Gaza, it's especially important these people are able to tell us what is happening in their communities and we can ensure they are fully up to date on the Government's action overseas." She added: "The meeting enabled us to listen to concerns but also emphasise the importance of pressing on with work to prevent radicalisation and counter violent extremism in our communities." Her comments echo those of MI5 boss Jonathan Evans, who warned that the conflict could give ideological ammunition to extremists.
