Channel 4 many years ago broadcast what was being said in some mosques (I emphasise some as it is just a minority of them). As was widely reported at the time West Midlands Police looked at prosecuting them (Channel 4) for showing it but not the immans making the sermons/comments. After court action by Channel 4 against West Midlands Police and the CPS for libel a payment of £100,000 to settle the case was made to Channel 4 by WMP/CPS.
Nothing much has changed since then, if anything it's got worse, and a blind eye is mostly turned to extreme Salafist messages coming from some mostly Saudi Arabia backed mosques. To add a political dimension to this must be mentioned the dependance of UK governments (both Labour and Conservative alike) on the good will of Saudi Arabia to be able to rely on large arms deals to that state.
Repeated warning have been given for years as to where the radicalisation is coming from, a combination of immans and the internet (again often Saudi and Qatar backed). These are seeds falling onto the fertile ground provided by the UK military involvement in the Middle East and North Africa.
Now that the USA has returned to being arms supplier of choice by Saudi Arabia, it's possible the UK may be more free to crack down on the extreme Salafist/Wahabi promoted ideology in the UK without impacting the profits of the arms companies and the wider economy as a whole.
