Quilliam International’s Statement on The Commission for Countering Extremism
25/01/2018
Quilliam International welcomes the creation of The Commission for Countering Extremism and congratulates Sara Khan for taking on the role of Lead Commissioner on this taskforce.
Quilliam has long called for the establishment of a counter-extremism branch, separate from the Prevent strategy. In June 2013, a few days after the tragic murder of Lee Rigby, Quilliam released a policy paper in which it proposed the idea of a separation between counter-extremism and counter-terrorism strategy, noting that:
“In light of recent events therefore, it is imperative that the British Government urgently revisits and reclaims responsibility for developing a counter-extremism strategy to challenge the rising threat of extremisms in the UK. Quilliam believes that the urgency of the challenge ahead necessitates that any such strategy now devised should be directly coordinated by Downing Street itself, and led by an appointed expert on a non-partisan basis.”
