Of course we could always just pay for our own version of Islam...

Tony Blair urged the "true voice of Islam" to make itself heard on Monday, as the Government pledged funding to discourage extremism by training imams in UK universities...

...Mr Blair also stressed that the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan should not be viewed as driven by religion...

...A £1 million project is to be launched to improve the quality of Islamic Studies courses and academic research, following a report published on Monday

I'm not sure I even understand what is meant by, "driven by religion".

But if his (or anyone elses) religion does not play a significant part in guiding ALL his behaviour then frankly, what in holy fuck is the point of it??
