Re: Will it make any difference
Difficult one to call, that. The police can't be everywhere so having a specialist hotline may help to root out more illegal activity.
The Council of Mosques has jumped straight on the defensive without Muslims being referred to at all, which in itself suggests that they know they need to get their own house in order.
On the other hand, this smacks of scaremongering again. I am not at all convinced that Great Britain is under constant high-risk threat from Islamic suicide bombers but schemes like this are (in my opinion) more likely to make it happen.
Plus, how much is this costing us?
