Meanwhile, authorities in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain have begun to notice that despite the fact that jihad terrorism remains the greatest threat to the country, Prevent pays little attention to it. And I’ll predict right here and now that this will not change.
“Suspect in killing of Sir David Amess allegedly made Islamist declaration after attack,” by Martin Evans, Telegraph, October 19, 2021 (thanks to Darcy):
The man arrested on suspicion of murdering Sir David Amess is understood to have made an alleged Islamist declaration in the aftermath of the attack.
The Telegraph has learned that the suspect was using his phone when armed police detained him in the minutes after the MP was attacked.
Counter-terrorism police are now investigating whether information was in the process of being uploaded to the internet.
On Tuesday, a government source said the incident had been categorised as terrorism because of an alleged declaration made by the suspect.
It is not clear whether the alleged declaration was made verbally or online.
Investigation hampered by lack of digital footprint
A source told The Telegraph that there had been a declaration, which was now being investigated to establish if the act was part of an Islamist cause….There are growing concerns about the effectiveness of Prevent, with critics claiming the focus has shifted too much from the threat posed by Islamic extremists.
A report out on Wednesday will warn that there is “fundamental mismatch” between the scale of the threat from Islamist extremism and apparent relative lack of attention paid to it by Prevent.
The report found that only 22 per cent of referrals to Prevent were for Islamist radicalisation, and just 30 per cent of those were taken on to Channel deradicalisation programmes.
By contrast, far-Right extremists made up 24 per cent of referrals and 43 per cent of those were offered Channel support, making them both more likely to be referred to Channel and taken up as cases.
However, Islamic terrorists accounted for more than 90 per cent of the 43,000 suspects on MI5’s watchlist and the overwhelming majority of recent terror convictions, offenders and killings.
Jonathan Hall, the independent reviewer of terrorist legislation, concluded in his annual report that “Islamist terrorism remains the principal threat in Great Britain”, responsible for the majority of terrorism convictions in 2019.
Last year, however, just 210 Islamist extremists were referred to Channel for deradicalisation…

‘…despite the fact that jihad terrorism remains the greatest threat to the country, Prevent pays little attention to it…’
Pardon my ignorance but what is ‘Prevent’? Besides being a word in the English language, is it a program or organization that stands for something?
Check Burry says
Its a secret sword meaning, The horse has bolted, stable door wide open, again.
Michael Copeland says
Yes, Prevent is the optimistic name of a UK government programme that absorbs taxpayer funds, and is supposed to help prevent people (mostly muslims) from espousing violence.
It does not work.
An internet search will tell you more.
Grace says
Unless they can extract the Muslim DNA they will never be successful.Change the name from Prevent to something with some muscle. It sounds like a birth control pill.

This has nothing to do with DNA and everything to do with indoctrination.

Apparently, please see this link, https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/what-we-do/prevent
Frankly, it’s a massive waste of tax payer funding, it’s the softly softly approach as one has come to expect from Dhimmi U.K. Any individual referred to this programme will of course go onto repeat their heinous crimes.

“Prevent” actually does little to prevent Jihad terror.
Check Burry says

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
gravenimage says
Bet they haven’t been “deradicalized”…
Michael Copeland says
So now there are 43,000 Islamic terrorist suspects on MI5’s watchlist.
Check Burry says
Ive seen 2 imams on tv in uk say its a tiny minority, I will never accept that 43,000 being watched is in any way a “tiny minority”
Its Cobblers
Michael Copeland says
Of course, additionally, it is simply not possible to “watch” 43,000 suspects at once. The list is a “Danger List”.
Michael Copeland says
Memo to Martin Evans, Telegraph:
There is no mention of Islamism or Islamist in the Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”.
Joeyn says
I would say that the godless ideology of Leftism whch terribly plagues the Wesern world and helps enable Jihad terrorism and the growth of the evil ideology of Islam is equally the biggest threat to the country.
Myron J. Poltroonian says
“A fervent follower of ancient religious customs declared his faith and acted upon it.” See? A simple observation neither the media nor fearful politicians will ever make.
Jack Flag says
Below is a disturbing article about a young British man who was imprisoned for “a hate crime that never was”. It involved the controversial PREVENT organisation – “that insidious band of government agents who claim to be tasked with preventing vulnerable people with being drawn into terrorism”.
It is a long read, but well worth your attention. PREVENT either target and harass the wrong people, or fail to prevent the real terrorists from committing future atrocities.

UK: Muslim who murdered MP ‘made an alleged Islamist declaration in the aftermath of the attack’

Gee, really? Anyone surprised by this has not been paying attention.
donynam says
The lefts completely ignore the fact that Islamic terrorists are Muslim.
