The British government decided today to proscribe the Muslim group Islam4UK under counter terrorism laws. Islam4UK is a Muslim organization with extremist views and aims to establish a Muslim state, including shariah law, all over the world. Anjem Choudary, UK head of Al-Muhajiroun or Islam4UK, has agreed to meet with me to share his opinion on religion's role in UK society.

"There is a widespread fear that religion is being treated as a problem to British society, best solved by airbrushing it from the public sphere."
-Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian
"We are witnessing a social phenomenon that is about fundamentalism. Atheists like the Richard Dawkins of this world are just as fundamentalist as the people setting off bombs on the tube, the hardline settlers on the West Bank and the anti-gay bigots of the Church of England. Most of them would regard each other as destined to fry in hell."
-Colin Slee, Dean of Southwark
"The study of other people's religious beliefs is now no longer merely desirable, but necessary for our very survival."
-Karen Armstrong
