We are a liberal state - to an extent we are required to accommodate unsavoury opinions or our entire social edifice will crumble. We have already taken steps to censor divergent opinions, which is anathema to traditional British values.

If you have no interest in getting more reasonable Muslim teachings to win the hearts and minds of your Muslim population than it’s no surprise that most of them turn to a life of even more struggle (jihadism). Counter-productive to the nation and stalls growth of a distinct European Islam loyal to European countries.
The Muslim community, ultimately, has to sort itself out - you can't have a Christian/Secular/Atheist telling people what beliefs are an aren't allowed - that is not acceptable.

What tools are lacking to help exactly?
In has been realised, over the last ten years, that the non-Muslims in the country have very little understanding of Islam. Once upon a time the "Muslim Council of Great Britain" was seen as quite Liberal by non-Muslims in Britain but it is now understood that the MCGB is, in fact, quite right wing and has elements which may have been involved in subverting our secular education system to turn state schools in Muslim areas into Sharia schools.

Overall I have to say I've never encountered a group of "Left-Wing" Muslims in the UK, even in a university context,
