Course on Counterterrorism Contradicts UK Government's Strategy
During a three-day course on counterterrorism attended by civil servants and professionals in the UK, lecturers contradicted the government's strategy on tackling extremism. One lecturer opposed the latest government review of the UK's counterterrorism strategy, Prevent, which focuses on the role of ideology as a motivating factor. Another attendee, who revealed that her brother had fought for the Islamic State, criticized Prevent as racist because it addresses Islamic extremism. The course revealed a skewed focus on the threat of ideology, downplaying the reality that around 70% of terrorist attacks in the UK are carried out by Islamic extremists.
