Blair Wants To Change Muslims Instead Of His Iraq Policy
The World Peace Herald reported July 19, 2005 that, "Britain's Home Office (rather like the Department of Justice in the United States) is drafting a system of accreditation and qualification for would-be Muslim clerics (imams)."
"They will have to be fluent in English and pass a test in British civic knowledge, and new applicants are expected to undergo a new state-sponsored training course that will promote moderate Islam," the publication said, noting that, " An estimated 1,800 of Britain's 3,000 full-time Imams come from overseas, mainly from Pakistan, and many come with Saudi sponsorship and after some study in Saudi Arabia."
