Prevent seems to get a mixed press. As a result of all this debate I started to wonder what the muslim PoV was on what could and should be done. I had a look at a recent keynote speech by the president of the muslim council of Britain. On the one hand, unsurprisingly, they are not big fans of Prevent, arguing that it makes several false assumptions, like mosques being a big factor in radicalisation, and that radicalism is some sort of logical progression from being merely devout.
On the other hand, they were very supportive of a big boost to intelligence-led policing.
