Speaking at a security conference in Germany PM David Cameron has said that the UK needs a stronger national identity to avert people turning to extremism.
Cameron said ‘state multiculturalism’ had failed and that he would take a tougher stance on groups promoting Islamist extremism.
The PM said: ‘Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism.’
Cameron said that there would be a greater scrutiny of Muslim groups who take pubic money but do not actively tackle extremism.
The Muslim Council of said it felt like they were being seen as part of the problem, rather than the solution.
