Research psychologist Amar Alam explains the mental trauma the UK Government’s Prevent and Channel programme has caused Muslim children.

Following the implementation of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill in 2015, the Prevent statutory duty was enforced in schools in an attempt to prevent young people from being drawn into acts of terrorism.

Greetings and peace be with you GINGERBEARDMAN;

I think the government has got it wrong, I almost feel their policy will create more victims, who in turn will look for a way to fight back.

In the spirit of praying for and seeking justice for all people

Thanks for the reply Eric,

I see your point, however many of the Muslims who have fallen into terrorism had many past such interfaith friendships, often interfaith romantic relationships and are not always the most practicing before they fall into this particular trap of shaitan.

Where as some of the most isolated, least integrated sections of the Muslim community seem to have very few people fall for this trap, so I am not sure this is definately the solution, though certainly greater respect being fostered BOTH WAYS would certainly be a big start.
