Cameron in new warning about Islamic extremists
DAVID Cameron yesterday issued a further warning that multi-culturalism had failed and society must challenge Islamist extremism more strongly.
The Prime Minister first called for a new “more active, muscular liberalism” in which countries promoted their values and confronted extremist views, in a speech at an international security conference in Germany on Saturday.
Yesterday he declared: “You have to say to the people in Birmingham Central Mosque, or wherever, who are saying 9/11 is a Jewish conspiracy, that that is not an acceptable attitude to have. We don’t tolerate racism in our society carried out by white people, we shouldn’t tolerate extremism carried out by other people. It needs a whole new way of thinking.”

Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary Sadiq Khan on Saturday accused the PM of “writing propaganda” for the anti-Muslim English Defence League who held a rally that day in Luton.
But Foreign Secretary William Hague yesterday rejected claims Mr Cameron was wrong to first speak out when he did.
“This is the Prime Minister giving a speech about the future of our country. That doesn’t have to be rescheduled because some people have chosen to walk down a street that particular day,” Mr Hague said.
