    ¶1. (C) Summary: Although people of Muslim faith make up only
    3-4 percent of the UK's population, outreach to this key
    audience is vital to U.S. foreign policy interests in the UK
    and beyond. Embassy London Muslim engagement activities
    comprise a counter-radicalization strategic plan, public
    diplomacy programming, and Ambassadorial outreach to address
    diverse audiences of varied national origin. This is a top
    Mission priority. End summary.

    Countering Radicalization
    --------------------------

    ¶2. (C) The Embassy,s counter-radicalization multi-agency
    working group, established in 2007 to improve our
    understanding of Muslim communities, the radicalization
    process, and HMG counter-radicalization efforts, developed a
    strategic action plan in 2009. This plan, regularly updated,
    outlines counter-radicalization goals and concrete steps the
    Embassy will take to encourage Muslim communities to reject
    violent ideologies and recruitment by extremists. The plan
    is consistent with overall USG plans to counter violent
    extremism, but considers the particular context of
    radicalization in the UK.

    ¶3. (C) The Embassy plan integrates efforts and resources
    across sections and agencies to ensure a coherent strategy.
    It outlines key objectives necessary to the Administration,s
    vision of community engagement to prevent violent extremism.
    Programs are shaped to fit particular neighborhood needs and
    dynamics, recognizing that the diversity of Muslim
    communities precludes a monolithic set of responses. Focus
    is on the most at-risk Muslim populations and youths,
    targeting engagement and community capacity-building to
    counter violent extremism. Mission efforts incorporate a
    close working relationship with UK agencies working on the
    same set of issues.

    4) (C) Our objectives:
    A) Empowering Muslim communities to mobilize against
    extremism. Although communities frequently reject violent
    extremism, they lack the institutional infrastructure to
    actively mobilize against radicalizing influences.
    B) Empowering Muslim communities to build community
    resilience. Civil society and grassroots organizations can
    help channel grievances, providing institutions for
    community-based solutions and for engaging government and
    other communities.
    C) Encouraging community cohesion, respect for pluralism, and
    integration across ethnic and religious groups. Insular
    communities tend to be more vulnerable to radicalization, as
    demonstrated by statistical analysis of survey research and
    comparative studies of Muslim communities.
    D) Increasing Muslim communities, understanding of U.S.
    foreign policy in Muslim countries and counter-terrorism
    objectives; countering the view that the West is at war with
    Islam.
    E) Encouraging Muslim communities, positive and effective
    relations with the Embassy, fundamental to the success of our
    engagement programs.

    5)(C) We are currently building a network of Muslim civic
    activists to enhance the collective skills of individuals and
    groups involved in counter-radicalization and to encourage
    collaborative initiatives. The network will include
    different kinds of activists * youth workers, civil rights
    organizations, business entrepreneurs, interfaith workers,
    and former extremists, and others * who share an interest in
    counter-radicalization but frequently operate in different
    spheres of activity, limiting opportunities to learn from one
    another, share expertise and resources, and collaborate.

    Public Diplomacy
    ----------------

    6)(C) The Counter-radicalization Strategic Plan complements
    and in most cases includes PD programs, outreach, and broad
    base of Muslim contacts. We use the full range of PD tools
    at our disposal to influence UK Muslim perceptions of the
    U.S., to counter violence and ideological extremism, and to
    empower credible Muslim voices. Our programs focus on Muslim
    youth and women and potential multipliers such as youth
    leaders, youth program directors, mosques, and schools.
    Through interfaith dialogue, the arts, exchanges, and Muslim
    media, we have a broad base of Muslim contacts who view the
    Embassy as a reliable and supportive partner. Outreach
    beyond London is a priority. Areas of emphasis include
    interfaith dialogue the arts, and exchanges and outreach.

    7)(C) Interfaith dialogue: Our joint programs with the
    Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) focus on high
    school and university level youth with the goal of reducing
    the risk of radicalization and promoting understanding among
    faiths. Activities have included training and exchanges of
    UK youth workers, and small grants to seed projects on
    interfaith volunteerism, neighborhood-based relationship
    building, new media promotion of interfaith dialogue, and
    interfaith dialogue around environmental issues, among
    others. We also support the London-based Three Faiths
    Forum,s high-school level outreach program, through which
    they talk to young people about different faiths and dispel
    myths and misconceptions.

    8)(C) The arts: We use elements of new media, culture, and
    the arts to connect with a younger audience and rising Muslim
    artists, using the arts as a platform to demonstrate the rich
    diversity of Muslim life in America. The arts are also an
    important way to reach potentially hostile audiences.
    Programs include film screenings (Islam in America,
    DeenTight, New Muslim Cool), support for the annual Ramadan
    Festival of arts, and programs with American Muslim writers,
    artists, and musicians.

    9)(C) Exchanges and outreach: People-to-people interactions
    and seeing America first-hand have consistently been an
    effective way of dispelling stereotypes and prejudices about
    the U.S. Our programs include: the Citizen Dialogues
    Program, International Visitors Leadership Program, and
    Voluntary Visitor exchanges with Muslim women community
    leaders. Our schools outreach program to secondary schools
    and universities has included over 20 predominantly Muslim
    institutions in nine localities over the past year. These
    school visits were in many cases the first by an American
    officer. We have built on the First Lady,s hugely
    successful 2009 visit to a minority school (reftel B) with an
    exchange program in 2010 that will include some of the
    students meeting her at the White House. Four UK
    businesspeople will attend the President,s Entrepreneurship
    Summit in April, 2010.

    The Ambassador,s Outreach
    -------------------------

    10) (C) The Ambassador engages with UK Muslim communities
    regularly. Beginning with an iftar in 2009 shortly after his
    arrival, he has spoken to Muslim groups in Wales and
    Scotland, visited the London Central Mosque, and hosted an
    interfaith breakfast at his residence, among other
    activities. Having the U.S. Ambassador visit and listen
    respectfully to Muslim points of view has an enormous impact
    on groups that often feel marginalized and ignored.
