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.
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.
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.
