Britain does not want "hate-mongers" -- people coming to live in the country must conform to its tolerant values, Prime Minister Tony Blair said.

Immigrants wanting to live in Britain will have to pass an English test and ethnic or religious groups seeking government grants will have to show they promote integration, Blair said.

There was no question of Britain allowing the introduction of religious law, he said.

According to media reports, some minority groups have their own courts in Britain, ruling on divorce and disputes between neighbours and there is even reported to be an unofficial Somali court in London dealing with criminal matters.

"We must demand allegiance to the rule of law," Blair said.

To combat forced marriages, the government will consult on raising the age for people entering Britain to get married above the current minimum of 18, he said.

Britain is reassessing its attitude to racial and religious minorities following last year's bombings when four British Islamists blew up 52 people on London transport.

The government has cracked down on radical Islamic preachers who it says inspire suicide bombers. But it fears that growing segregation of ethnic minorities has made it easier for radical ideas to take hold.

Does this not need converting to Law?
Does this not send a clear signal to the Islamic extremist immigrant?
What plans are in place to prevent backlash from the affected communities?

I agree with what he is saying we need to send a clear message that extremism in Britian will not be tolerated.

"Conform or don't come here" - Tony Blair

You can't live in this country and expect to live by your own rules or your home countries laws that is what he means.

He is not being racist, he said all races and nationalities would have to conform to our way of life.

You wouldn't expect to live in another country and live by your own rules or British rules.

If you choose to live in England then you have to follow English Law.

The affected communites are the hate mongers you talk about and there already are laws in place to deal with them.

Don't try to take it out of context his not talking about ALL immigrants, just those who come here to cause trouble.

Agree with every word of Mr Blair.
The sooner this is converted to law the better.
This does send a clear signal to the Islamic extremist immigrants to stop inviting the Hate-mongers.
They are not being invited and financially supported by anybody else.
All such communities have to abide by the laws of UK and any Hate-monger speeches, website publications etc. should be punishable under these new laws.

Who cares whether or not it's made into law? Who cares whether or not it sends clear signals to islamic facists?

The important thing is, Britain is acting positively to reduce and eliminate the threat. The U.S. should follow suit. And if there's a backlash from the islamic community... round'em up, try them, convict them... and hang the in true islamic tradition!

You can't have a nation within a nation. It can only lead to civil war.
