COMBATING extremism was the topic of a conference held in Bradford on the anniversary of 9/11 last week.

More than 200 people came to hear Dr Liam Fox, a former defence secretary; Dr Shoaib Suddle, chief of the Police Association in Pakistan; and Superintendent Vince Firth, of the Reducing Crime and Reoffending Group in Bradford.

Yaqub Masih, who is a lay canon of Wakefield Cathedral and co-chairs New Horizons, which organised the event, said: "We are not guests in this country. We are the fellow-citizens who have made this nation our home. Therefore, it is our responsibility to make sure that no one damages or undermines our home."
