Is Britain policing or appeasing Islamic extremism?
The latter, according to Tory MP and shadow communities minister Paul Goodman, who has written to the home secretary complaining about the actions of West Midlands Police and the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to Channel 4's "Undercover Mosque" documentary. Goodman protests against the decision by the police to refer Channel 4 to Ofcom, describing this as "a politically motivated referral, driven by the mistaken belief that the best means of dealing with separatist extremists is to appease them".
