The Financial Times reports that Prime Minister Tony Blair promised urgent action to exclude or deport radical Muslim clerics who "incite and instigate" acts of terrorism:
He encouraged Britain's religious leaders to stand up to "the poisonous and perverted interpetration of the religion of Islam" shown by the terrorists.

Mr. Blair has already said he wants to enact legislation to allow the prosecution of people caught preparing an act of terrorism. The prime minister on Wednesday said legislation would also be aimed at allowing prosecution of those involved in "incitement and instigation" of such acts.
It's about time. The Brits could take a lesson from the U.S. on this point.
