End this passive tolerance of hate: Our fear of causing offence means Islamic extremism is allowed to flourish, says Cameron
David Cameron yesterday launched a blistering attack on the 'passive tolerance' of Islamist extremism and a failure to integrate that has put Britain 'in danger'.
The Prime Minister said there were parts of the UK where 'you can get by without ever speaking English or meeting anyone from another culture', and announced new powers to close down religious schools, or madrassas, which children attend before or after school.
To loud applause at the Tory conference, Mr Cameron warned: 'For too long, we've been so frightened of causing offence that we haven't looked hard enough at what is going on in our communities.
'This passive tolerance has turned us into a less integrated country; it's put our children in danger. It is unforgiveable.'
