David Cameron is planning new powers to muzzle Islamic hate preachers accused of provoking terrorist outrages such as the killing of soldier Lee Rigby.

The Prime Minister wants to stop extremist clerics using schools, colleges, prisons and mosques to spread their ‘poison’ and is to head a new Tackling Extremism and Radicalisation Task Force (TERFOR) made up of senior Ministers, MI5, police and moderate religious leaders.

The high-powered group will study a number of measures, including banning extremist clerics from being given public platforms to incite students, prisoners and other followers – and forcing mosque leaders to answer for ‘hate preachers’.

‘There is no question of restricting freedom of speech – this is about preventing people spreading the message of extremism and radicalisation in a totally irresponsible and reckless way.'

‘We cannot stand by and let people whip up violent hatred of Britain and its values and culture with the appalling consequences that we have seen.’

So, they can start with Islamist preacher Omar Bakri, who praised Michael Adebolajo for remaining at the murder scene.
