Britain unveils new definition of ‘extremism’

London: A new definition of extremism has been introduced in the UK and will be implemented immediately.

In the new definition, the denial or destruction of the fundamental rights and freedoms of others is also part of the definition of extremism.

Undermining or attempting to change the UK's liberal parliamentary democratic system and democratic rights is also included in the new definition.

Groups promoting violent and intolerant ideologies will be barred from government funding.

British Minister Michael Gove said that the funding of groups promoting intolerance will be stopped, to deal with growing sentiments against Muslims and Jews.

In its response to the issue of the new definition of extremism, the Muslim Council of Breton said that the new definition would target the Muslim community.

On the other hand, Stop the War Coalition has condemned the statement of British Minister Michael Gove, saying that everyone should resist against the minister's statement.
