| UK to increase power to ban |
| 2005-07-20 |
| BRITAIN is to draw up a list of "unacceptable behaviour" which encourages terrorism and foreign nationals who contravene the rules will be automatically banned from the country, interior minister Charles Clarke said today. The power to exclude foreign nationals from Britain is already granted to the Home Secretary under law, but it would be implemented more vigorously following the London bombings, Mr Clarke told Parliament. "In the circumstances we now face, I decided that it is right to broaden the use of these powers to deal with those who foment terrorism or seek to provoke others to terrorist acts," Mr Clarke said in a statement on the follow-up to the July 7 attacks. "To this end, I intend to draw up a list of unacceptable behaviour which would fall within this, for example preaching, running websites, or writing articles which are intended to foment or provoke terrorism. "The list will be indicative rather than exhaustive. We will consult on the list, because I think it is important we work with the communities on this." |

| #5 So-called Moderate Muslims™ better get Islam's act cleaned up, or someone else will. Getting away with the London attacks will only embolden others to do the same. There will come a time when the just-plain-joes get tired of terrorism treated like a criminal act by the government. Then it gets ugly and people attack with a broad brush against anyone Muslim. Like the Fram Filter guy said, "You want to pay me now, or you want to pay me later?" |
