Reading Muslim PVE Crisis Group featured in BBC Radio 4 documentary on PVE

Posted on December 14, 2008 by PVE Crisis Group

Reading Muslim PVE Crisis Group featured in a 40 minute BBC Radio 4 documentary on PVE. Strangely the Radio Four piece did not refer to the RM PVE Crisis Group by name but some of the key issues were covered.

Here is a summarised version of the documentary with comments from Lord Nazir Ahmed, RM PVE Crisis Group and Secretary of State Hazel Blears.

    The Reading Muslim PVE Crisis Group was a short term initiative to communicate the change in opinion within the Muslim community in Reading in relation to the implementation of the government’s Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) agenda and the dangers that this misguided agenda poses to community relations.

    It was felt that the discussions in numerous community meetings and community workshops concluded that the overwhelming majority of the 7 PVE objectives were ‘unworkable’. Consultations with the Local Authority were being ignored and the PVE agenda was spiralling dangerously out of control. To that end RM PVE Crisis group has been immensely successful in providing:

    • A framework within which the principled concerns related to PVE can be understood.
    • Educating people about these principled concerns which the majority of Muslims in Reading share.

    RM PVE Crisis Group is supported by local Mosques and Muslim organisations and backed by a petition of over 1,000 signatures from the Muslim community in Reading.
