Evening Standard Michael Gove has named five groups he said would be assessed against a new government definition of extremism.
The communities secretary told MPs he had concerns about the "Islamist orientation" of three of the organisations.
He also named two groups he said promoted a "Neo-Nazi ideology".
The new extremism definition applies to, but does not criminalise, groups promoting an ideology based on "violence, hatred or intolerance".
