Britain's most senior Muslim police officer has urged Islamic communities to do more to confront the 'silent killer' of extremism, saying they cannot rely only on the police and security services to deal with the threat.
Mak Chisty, a MET police commander who leads the organisation's communirty outreach programme, said that some moderate Muslims were being deterred from opposing extremism by fundamentalists who equated assisting police with 'spying'. Chisty added the Muslim community was an 'integral part of modern Britain', but it needed to do more.
