People entering the UK must be prepared to be tolerant or not become part of society, Tony Blair has said.
In a speech at Downing Street, the prime minister said that tolerance was "what makes Britain" and warned "we must be ready to defend this attitude".
The threat came not from "generalised extremism" but "a new and virulent form of ideology associated with a minority of our Muslim community".
The Muslim Association of Britain said Mr Blair's speech was "alarming".

It maybe alarming, but I think it's true. If the veil matter wasn't such an issue then this speech may have been slightly low key? |
