Britain must no longer tolerate those who fail to respect its values, the Home Secretary will say, as she outlines a series of new measures addressing what she argues is a rising level of extremism.
Theresa May will say extremism manifests itself in racism, anti-semitism, homophobia and sexism - but the "most serious and widespread" problem is Islamic extremism.
"Everybody living in this country is equal and everybody is free to lead their lives as they see fit," she will say in central London later.
"But in a pluralistic society like ours, there are responsibilities as well as rights. You don't just get the freedom to live how you choose to live.
"You have to respect other people's rights to do so too. And you have to respect not just this fundamental principle but the institutions and laws that make it possible. Democracy. Equality. Free speech. The rule of law. And respect for minorities."
Mrs May will say extremism cannot "just be ignored" but "must be tackled head on".
"We have been clear all along that the Government's counter-extremism strategy must seek to defeat extremism in all its forms, but it's obvious from the evidence that the most serious and widespread form of extremism we need to confront is Islamist extremism."
The Tory minister is expected to make a clear distinction between followers of the Islamic faith, which is "entirely compatible" with British values, and extremists who claim there is a "fundamental incompatibility".
"They demand a caliphate, or a new Islamic state, governed by a harsh interpretation of Shari'a law," she will say.
"They utterly reject British and Western values, including democracy, the rule of law, and equality between citizens, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion or sexuality. They believe that it's impossible to be a good Muslim and a good British citizen."
Mrs May will insist the Government cannot act alone by saying: "Individual people, families and whole communities need help and those of you fighting the extremists deserve our support.
"So my invitation is clear - come and join that partnership. If you join us, we will do everything we can to help you."
But for those who reject British "values and the basic principles of our society", she will say: "The game is up. We will no longer tolerate your behaviour. We will expose your hateful beliefs for what they are.
"Where you seek to spread hate, we will disrupt you. Where you break the law, we will prosecute you. Where you seek to divide us, we will stand united. And together, we will defeat you."
