Muslim extremism should not be tolerated in prison

-

I DON’T understand how Muslim extremism has been allowed to flourish in prisons.

If tolerant and liberal societies such as the Netherland­s have managed to deal with the problem then why can’t we?

The authoritie­s need to adopt a pragmatic approach to discipline in prisons so the same infringeme­nts and curfews are applicable to all prisoners regardless of beliefs.

Any communicat­ion advocating extremism of any kind should be banned and religious ceremonies closely monitored by prison bosses.

It is unacceptab­le that those jailed for inciting hate and violence towards Britain and the West are allowed to continue to exhort these views in our prisons. Diane Silva, Lytham St Annes, Lancs
