Government to ban Islam4UK under terror laws
A radical Islamist group that planned a march through Wootton Bassett will be banned under counter-terrorism laws, Home Secretary Alan Johnson has said.
Members of Islam4UK had planned the march through the Wiltshire town to honour Muslims killed in the Afghanistan conflict.
The government had been considering outlawing the group, which is said to have extremist links.
Earlier this week, Gordon Brown said plans for the march were "disgusting".
Islam4UK is also known as Al Muhajiroun.
Mr Johnson said: "I have today laid an order which will proscribe Al Muhajiroun, Islam4UK, and a number of the other names the organisation goes by.
"It is already proscribed under two other names - Al Ghurabaa and The Saved Sect.
"Proscription is a tough but necessary power to tackle terrorism and is not a course we take lightly.
"We are clear that an organisation should not be able to circumvent proscription by simply changing its name."
The order will come into effect on Thursday and make it a criminal offence to be a member, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Anjem Choudary was interviewed this morning on Five Live. When questioned about the banning of Islam4UK and any renamed organisation, I could not help but smile, when he mischeviously suggested that he might join the Labour Party.
Anjem Choudary may hold 'unorthodox' views, but he comes over as being well educated and able to 'defend' his positions with calm assurance. He comes over as a 'slick' operator - I don't think we've heard the last of Anjem Choudary. |
