Shadow Home Secretary [url= Davis[/url] is calling on the government to scrap its "outdated" policy of multiculturalism.

Allowing people of different cultures to settle without integrating let the "perverted values of suicide bombers" take root, he told the [url= Telegraph[/url].

Mr Davis, favourite to become the next Tory leader, urged the government to "build a single nation" and demand "respect for the British way of life".

"We must speak openly of what we expect of those who settle here," he said.

Mr Davis' remarks came as [url= Office minister Hazel Blears met Muslim leaders in Oldham[/url] in the first of a series of meetings to discuss concerns following the London bombings.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, he said Muslims had to "root out" imams who failed to "understand the conventions of British society".

"We must acknowledge there are good imams and bad imams," Mr Davis added.

He strongly criticised [url= Central Mosque chairman Mohammed Naseem[/url] for focusing his anger on the security services rather than the London bombers after one of the suspected terrorists was arrested in the city.

"Searching questions now have to be asked about what has been happening inside Britain's Muslim communities.

"The authorities have seemed more concerned with encouraging distinctive identities than with promoting common cultural values of nationhood."

Mr Davis called for a new [url= control police force[/url] to secure Britain's "porous" borders.

The process of granting [url= citizenship[/url] should be "urgently reviewed", he said.

The government should allow evidence from phone-taps to be used in court, Mr Davis added.

And ministers should review the [url= rights Act[/url] "advocating its repeal if necessary".
