A Nottingham imam has hit back as the Muslim charity he leads is expected to be among a number of groups and individuals named in a review of counter-extremism. Dr Musharraf Hussain, the chief executive of Karimia Institute in Bobbers Mill, has called the review an 'experiment' while claiming that publishing such a list would be "disloyal to the people and groups who worked against extremism".
According to a report in The Times, it is anticipated that he will be on a list of names to be published in the long-awaited review of the Prevent programme, carried out by William Shawcross. Prevent is part of the Government's counter-terrorism strategy, which aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.
It aims to address all forms of terrorism, however it continues to prioritise according to current threat levels. The review, which is yet to be published, is expected to criticise the government and local authorities for failing to stop some Muslim groups and individuals from spreading extremism.
