Should these people be removed immediately? I think so.

Before anyone complains that this link is to the Daily Mail, I had intended to post The Times report, but in order to gain access to the full article, subscription is required.

I have met several imams in the course of my work before I retired recently and they are all committed to stamping out the radicalism - I cant speak for them all and I know some have left for this reason. I have policed quite a number of Friday prayer sessions and you could tell from their body language that some of the prisoners didnt like the moderate point of view.
Do they get added time for bad behaviour ?
I too have met ( and traveled ) with Imams.

Whilst they have been against violence they do not agree with drinking, pork eating or homosexuality.

In other words they do not want to fit in.
Doubt they do it for free, Naomi.
The Koran is homophobic. But isn't the Bible also an homophobic document?
Certainly many christians use the Bible to support their homophobic and misogynistic views.
Should CofE preachers be banned because they use the Bible to support their views? It would be hypocritical to allow one and not the other.
I doubt the Protestant vicars 'fire up' the inmates to murder Mormons when they get out.
Rod Liddle in The Spectator said 200 imams received £40,000 each to administer to our Muslim crooks. (checked that out using Prison Service pdf files. 2013- 80 imams earning £35,000+ and others earning £15 ph. so the figures sound pretty accurate to me)
Personally, I'd put an end to this the day I came into power.

Svejk, //Doubt they do it for free, Naomi.//

I know they don't. They should be removed.

Gromit, if you can't see what's going on here I suggest you look a little closer. Your post isn't worthy of a considered response.

@naomi

Gromit has merely pulled off a classic maneuvre, which we are more accustomed to seeing AOG performing - the situation role reversal question. A simple enquiry to test if we are applying double standards.


Meanwhile, some of us enjoy witnessing your debating skills, in action, so it is frustrating to see "not worthy of a considered response" being wheeled out again. It is fast becoming your catchphrase. That said, it's your thread so, if that is the accepted etiquette (unanswered questions from non-OP contributors normally lead to everything from gentle reminders to gloating and goading), then so be it.

@gromit

Going straight for the CofE looks like an attempted deflection. It would have worked, as a pointed closing paragraph to a reply addressing naomi's actual question.

Hypognosis, //Going straight for the CofE looks like an attempted deflection.//

It is an attempted deflection. It’s the same old attempted deflection employed around here on a regular basis in order to avoid the real issues. That’s why it isn’t worthy of a considered response.
Okay.

Well, you could have said that earlier. If there is a pattern, allow for the fact that some of us don't look at every thread and will not have noticed this, yet.

Thank you, for pointing it out.

The fact that "what about the COfE?" helps make the atheist bandwagon roll I will try not to get too smug about: it's off-topic, here.
