Hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money earmarked to counter terrorism was instead handed to extremist groups, a Government report concluded.

The money was spent as part of the Prevent programme which was funded with hundreds of millions of pounds to try to stop young Muslims from becoming radicalised.
..
The report also revealed:
-Money was wasted on pointless sports clubs and "cohesion schemes".
-More than 1 100 people were reported to the authorities after displaying extremist sympathies- one quarter of whom were children. The figure comprises an astonishing 55 under 12-s and another 290 aged up to 16.
-The astonishing scale of Islamic teaching in up to 2 000 madrassas attended by an estimated 100 000 children.These are unregulated and teach Arabic and the Koran, the Islamic holy book. A BBC Panorama investigation last year reported madrassas using anti-Semitic and anti-gay material.
..
The report identified 25 priority areas in England, including Birmingham, Blackburn, Leicester and 16 London boroughs, which will be targeted with counter-terror funding.
