And the Muslim Council of Britain launched a programme last year.

Unfortunately, bad things make good headlines, while preventative efforts are treated as low profile events by the media.

Again, ”Terrorist Muslims" incite fear and make good headlines, whilst stories like these are relegated to the inside pages/not reported/downplayed by some media.

Far-right extremism poses the biggest security threat to northern England, a counter-terrorism expert has warned.
Speaking anonymously to BBC News, the former Home Office specialist said the threat of right-wing terrorism was not being taken seriously.
Last year, the highest number of right-wing referrals to counter-terrorism programme Prevent came from the north.
The government said it recognised far-right extremism was an emerging threat.
However, the UK's security services said extreme Islamist-based terrorism remained the country's most pressing national security concern.

Former members include a man who plotted to murder a Labour MP, another who tried to behead an Asian man in Tesco, a teenager who tried to make a pipe bomb and an extremist who planned a massacre at an LGBT+ pride event.
The proportion of far-right terror suspects has been rising in the UK, and the number of people referred to the Prevent programme over suspected far-right extremism has rocketed by 36 per cent in a year.
In the year to September, 40 per cent of terror suspects arrested were white, 33 per cent were Asian, 12 per cent were black and 14 per cent were recorded as other.
Police say 14 Islamist terror plots and four from far-right extremists have been foiled since the Westminster attack in March 2017.
