Terrorism Bill

As my hon. Friend says, such people are offered paradise as an inducement to commit an act of terrorism. However, it is still a big step for the young people concerned to take, even given the visions of pleasure that are held out to them. Another problem has to do with what will happen if someone says, ““Well, I don’t agree but I’m sure God will forgive a person’s sins if he performs a terrorist act.”” Is that an inducement to go out and prepare to commit an act of terrorism? I think that it is, which proves my point that the Bill will catch words that are really quite mild. I think that we should stick to the words used by the Prime Minister’s wife, with whom I often sympathise. She is subjected to more public criticism because of her marriage than would be the case if she were a public figure in any other circumstances. In last week’s debate on Second Reading, the Home Secretary merely asserted that the Bill would not catch what the Prime Minister’s wife so famously said. I have not the first idea why the right hon. Gentleman asserted that. We need to hear some supporting argument, as I believe that it is clear that what she said would be caught by the Bill.
