What do you think the media reaction would be if police were
permitted to enter Jewish synagogues to question or arrest
suspected criminals?
Terrorism in the UK:
Police 'should pursue terror suspects into mosques'

Government's terror-law watchdog urges further communication
Moves comes after man under control order escapes police in mosque
Lord Carlile also questions entire system of control orders
"Anyone knowingly giving shelter from legal obligations has a clear
civic duty to facilitate compliance with the law. If they do not do
so, they will have little cause for complaint if police enter their
premises." - LORD CARLILE
POLICE should be more willing to enter mosques or other places of
worship when pursuing terrorist suspects, the government's terror-
law watchdog urged yesterday.
The recommendation follows the case of an accused terrorist who
escaped after police decided not to follow him into a mosque. He
remains on the run.
Lord Carlile, the lawyer who acts as independent assessor of
terrorism legislation, also had stern words for Muslim faith
leaders, insisting that they have a "clear civic duty" to co-
operate with the security services.
His report follows high-profile counter-terrorism cases that have
led some Muslims to claim the British government is discriminating
against them.
In the case which prompted the call, a British Muslim was under a
government-imposed control order, restricting his movements,
because ministers judged that he posed a threat to national security.
People under such orders are closely monitored by the police, but
the 26-year-old man - who cannot be identified for legal reasons -
escaped after entering a Manchester mosque last month. He is
understood to have absconded while police following him remained
outside.
Some reports have suggested that mosque elders refused to allow
officers to enter the building and that the man escaped while the
two sides negotiated.
Three men were later arrested in connection with the case, but the
26-year-old himself remains at large. Intelligence reports
suggested he was planning to travel abroad to undertake terrorist
training. Since escaping, he is believed to have fled to Pakistan.
Lord Carlile insisted that the leaders of the Manchester mosque had
done nothing wrong. But he said that the case "raises questions
about how generally to approach sensitive issues such as presence
in a mosque, church or other place of worship".
The watchdog's recommendation is that officers should routinely
enter mosques in pursuit of control-order suspects they believe may
be attempting to escape. "The straightforward approach would be to
make it clear that if 'controlees' are in breach of anything other
than minor aspects of conditions, the police will pursue them after
allowing them a short time to emerge voluntarily," Lord Carlile
wrote in a report to ministers, published yesterday.
The QC insists that police should always be appropriately
respectful when entering mosques, but insists that Muslim leaders
must not attempt to obstruct officers watching or pursuing suspects.
"Anyone knowingly giving shelter from legal obligations has a clear
civic duty to facilitate compliance with the law," Lord Carlile
writes, adding: "If they do not do so, they will have little cause
for complaint if police enter their premises."
Lord Carlile's report also questioned the entire system of control
orders, urging police to do more to build conventional court cases
against the controlees.
A spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic party that has accused
ministers of discrimination against Muslims, last night said that
many British Muslims were "wary" about co-operating with the police.
"After so many plots that were not plots and accusations that have
come to nothing, people have a genuine right to be very questioning
about any police attempt to enter a mosque", the spokesman said.
The Home Office last night declined to comment but a spokesman said
ministers would consider the report carefully.

"Liberal Democrat" [!] Lord Carlile of Berriew in 2005 had become
the independent reviewer of British anti-terrorist laws, advocating
the development of legislation in conformity with provisions of the
Bush government's USA PATRIOT Act. Among those civil liberties
targeted were the right to a trial, the requirement that charges be
issued against the imprisoned, and limits on government wiretapping
of citizens.
Lord Carlile had stern words for Muslim leaders, insisting that
they have a "duty" to cooperate with Britain's security services.
