<p>This Government works to protect and promote pluralistic values – including freedom
of religion and belief - through its Counter-Extremism Strategy. Faith communities
are crucial to tackling hatred and intolerance. Through our ‘Building a Stronger Britain
Together’ programme we are supporting partners across the country to challenge extremism
– including faith groups.</p><p>Protecting freedom of religion and belief is also
central to the UN Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism and cuts across two
of the four pillars of the UN Global CT Strategy: addressing the conditions conducive
to the spread of terrorism, and ensuring respect for human rights for all and the
rule of law as the fundamental basis for the fight against terrorism.</p><p>The new
Commission for Countering Extremism will also support our faith communities in stamping
out extremism and promoting our fundamental values.</p>
