The British Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a plan for fighting jihadists

Among the measures set forth by the Minister, is the approval of the new legislation, which should limit the activity of radical Muslim preachers in the UK. Until now, their speeches, including extremist rhetoric, have not been considered crimes.

Participation in groups preaching violence, even if they are not directly involved in terrorist activities, should also become illegal. At the moment, in order to prohibit membership in such organizations, it is necessary to prove that groups directly take part in terrorist attacks, ITAR-TASS indicates.

The relevant initiatives are, in particular, with the activation of the militants of the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. “We found ourselves in the midst of an entire generation of struggle against a deadly extremist ideology,” May noted in the article on the pages of the Daily Telegraph . “We will have to deal with it for years, and, possibly for decades. We must provide ourselves with all the legal powers to win.”

New norms, according to May, will oblige the budgetary organizations of the kingdom, such as municipal councils and schools, to deal with the radicalization of the population. Political organizations of Islamists and other Muslim groups that secretly support extremism will also fall into the attention zone.

The initiatives of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are studied by the British government, and the parliament of the country has to accept or reject them. Now the parliamentarians in the summer holidays, and the terms of making the "May" package are not specified.

According to the elapses of the kingdom, at least 500 British Muslims are in Iraq and Syria, fighting on the side of extremists against the government forces of these republics. Many of them joined the ranks of the militants of the Islamic State. London fears that they will try to return to their homeland and arrange terrorist attacks.

The British newspaper Sun claims that the kingdom’s special services established the personality of a militant who executed American journalist James Fouley. According to the publication, we are talking about John Beatle - "the young British who received Islam, who, with a group of radical Islamists from the London quarter, Tower Hamlets went to Syria some time ago."
