Conservative leader David Cameron has called for a ban on "preachers of hate" entering the UK.
He accused Gordon Brown of dithering over Islamist cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, after reports that he is to be allowed to visit London for medical treatment.
Mr Cameron called Mr al-Qaradawi - and the head of Hezbollah's TV station Ibrahim Moussawi, who recently spoke in Manchester - "dangerous and divisive".
People were in the UK "preaching hatred and sowing division", he added.
Speaking at the first meeting in London of a working group between the Conservatives and the main German centre-right party the CDU, Mr Cameron called for a complete ban on Islamist political movements Hizb-ut-Tahrir and Hezbollah.
