Excerpt:
An £86 million scheme designed to prevent the radicalisation of young British Muslims is being used as a "gravy train" by some community groups, it has been claimed.
The Preventing Violent Extremism fund allows councils to give money to local projects in the hope that they will prevent teenagers turning to dangerous forms of Islam.
It was launched by the former Communities Secretary, Ruth Kelly, last year and since then has seen £6m spent on trial schemes.
But critics claim large sums of money are being given to projects that do not meet its specific objectives, and are being handed out to community groups without councillors considering them first.
