michael Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6718235.stm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam Will a new emphasis on Islamic studies and state training of Mosque leaders help to provide more moderate voices? Tony Blair has launched a £1m project to fund the training of Muslim clerics in the UK - allowing Britain to move away from reliance on overseas ministers who may not speak English. The investment is part of the government's efforts to promote moderate Muslim voices and curb extremism. Speaking today, the Prime Minister said, "let the authentic voices of Islam, in their various schools and manifestations, speak for themselves". Should imams be trained in the country in which they live? Will focusing on Islamic studies as a "strategic subject" help combat extremism? Is the teaching of Islam in UK universities out-dated? Are you a student or a lecturer? http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=6492&start=0&&&edition=1&ttl=20070604140756 Not to be confused with: http://a123.g.akamai.net/f/123/12465/1d/media.canada.com/cp/entertainment/20070308/e030828a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 If it stops the fanatic clerics preaching in this country then I'm all for it... ...to a point. But then I have to think, it's sodding religion again wasting money and driving policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 appeasement isn't quite the right word I'm afraid. If we're not careful, this country will be a Muslim Nation within a generation.
