UK needs to cut the strings ...
Reader comment on item: Downing Street's Favorite – The Muslim Council of Britain

Submitted by Victor Purinton (United States), Mar 31, 2009 at 14:17

It's long past time for the government of the UK to get out of the religion business entirely. They should disestablish the church, write and ratify a constitution stipulating secular democracy, and end state funding of faith schools. They're going to have more and more problems if they continue to have an official religion.
