“…counter-terrorism in the UK now appears to be concerned with ‘extremist (and non-violent) ideas that are also part of a terrorist ideology’ and that are ‘conducive’ to terrorism… Prevent will, therefore, ‘mean intervening to try to stop people moving from extremist groups or extremism into terrorist-related activity.’ It is this potential conduit between non-violent extremism and terrorism that the government is seeking to address:” p. 1
“‘Some people who become members of terrorist groups have previously been members of extremist organisations and have been radicalised by them. Others (though not all) pass through an extremist phase … Preventing people becoming terrorists will require a challenge to extremist ideas where they are used to legitimise terrorism and are shared by terrorist groups. It will also require intervention to stop people beginning to move away from extremist but legal groups into proscribed illegal terrorist organisations.'”p. 2.
Identify some “extremist (and non-violent) ideas that are also part of a terrorist ideology’ and that are ‘conducive’ to terrorism…” Or identify some that are not.
