Terror: outlawing extremists

We debated proposals to outlaw encouragement for terrorists
After the wave of terrorist attacks on London, the government's promising new anti-terror laws this Autumn.

One of the measures it's looking at would ban people from posting extremist views on the internet - or distributing leaflets praising terrorist attacks, such as those on July 7 or September 11.

But the proposals - which would outlaw indirect incitement to terrorism - have already provoked mixed feelings among the Muslim community.

  • Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been exploring exactly what the law is aiming to stop, and how it would all work.

  • We debated the issues, with Khalid Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr and Humera Khan, co founder of Al Nisa, a National Muslim women's organisation.

  • We asked what you think.
