According to the UK Independence Party website UKIP will try to achieve the following if they gain power at the 2010 general election:
Terrorism and Homeland Security. UKIP would deport radical Imams back to countries where they are wanted for trial in line with existing bilateral prisoner exchange or new treaties.
UKIP would use treason laws to prosecute British Muslims loyal to our enemies.
UKIP would review all existing anti-terrorism laws, and would repeal or amend any that it felt were not in keeping with UKIP’s values. We strongly oppose the ID card scheme as being illiberal, intrusive, ineffective and wasteful.
I would be interested to hear both positive and negative views on UK Independence Party’s Terrorism and Homeland Security policies in the comments below?
I’ve spent 50 years of my life carrying both military and civilian ID as an ex-member of British military forces, and in various countries around the world.
I can assure you that all an ID Card does, on production, is to immediatly reduce the alertness of the inspecting officer, who natutally anticipates that the bearer of the ID Card to be a “bona fida” holder (entitled person) for that pass, and that the pass is genuine.
Rightly or wrongly.
Worse than a waste of money, it’s even counter productive!!!!!!
Now then, do you wante the monies or spend it on more real, suspicious officers, alert, for added protection?

The basis of all Muslim terror is the Koran.
Many are or pretend to be uncertain that the Koran actually does command violence. Many scholars are certain that it does, however. Those who commit violence in the name of Islam do so because they truly believe that it is their duty as servants of Allah.
To successfully and effectively prevent terrorism by angry Muslims, therefore, it is essential that their ideology of Terror according to their interpretation of the Koran is challenged.
Currently there are no British politicians, including Nigel Farage, who have taken the trouble to acquaint themselves with the Koran and to gain understanding of why many Muslims believe they must force the whole of humanity to submit. Without that understanding it is impossible to develop effective non police and non military policies to reduce terrorism. Yet challenging the ideology of terror would be the most cost effective and by far the CHEAPEST way to challenge the fury and ignorance of Muslims who murder for Allah.
