Muslim womens leader condemns extremists on Newsnight

Shaista Gohir, a leader of the Muslim Womens Network, went on Newsnight tonight to condemn those in the Islamic community who fail to speak out against terror, and attacked those in the community who try to undermine government programmes like Prevent and seek to stop Muslims from working with the government to counter extremism and radicalisation.
