Little Green Footballs has done an excellent job the last few years documenting the growing population of muslim extremists in Britain. Today he brings us something which is truly frightening, and a reminder to those on the left of what we are up against. Britain has agreed to pay £70 million in Government funds to help tackle extremism.

Muslim groups will receive £70 million in Government funds to help tackle extremism in “ungoverned spaces” such as internet chat rooms and snooker halls.

Hazel Blears, Communities Secretary, said that the money will be targeted at Muslim communities and rejected suggestions that the funding discriminated against other faith groups. Speaking on the Today programme on BBC Radio this morning, Ms Blears defended the Government’s decision to give the cash to Muslim rather than Christian or Jewish groups. “There is support for faiths across Government, but let’s be honest about this - what we are about is saying that we have a problem of radicalisation and extremism in a small minority of areas and communities.” Ms Blears said that it was the job of Government to support minority groups and enable them to be more resilient.

In a speech today the minister will make her first foray into tackling radicalisation and extremism in the community. She will announce plans to “beat the terrorists at their own game” by extending the fight against terrorism to gyms, cafes and the internet where increasingly-sophisticated techniques are used to recruit youngsters.

Ms Blears said: “This is a generational issue. We have got to get to young people - five to 15-year-olds, as well as the teenagers who are currently being targeted - and strengthen their resilience, so that they can say to the extremists ’I am comfortable with being a Muslim in Britain today and I want no part of it’.”

Although the article does not specifically use the term “protection money”, anyone who has watched a mob movie will agree that is exactly what this is. Muslim groups promote jihad, make threats, and kill civilians, so the British Government gives money to Muslim groups to try and diminish the violence. Similar to a mafia movie where a thug goes into the local grocery store and beats up the owner, then tells the owner if he pays protection money he wont be beat up anymore.

Exactly what is this £70 million going to be used for?
