One of the challenges has sometimes been the relevance of the mosque to young Muslims when it can sometimes seem less relevant to their lives. That is why we need to address the whole issue of ensuring that imams have good English when they are dealing with potentially alienated and radicalised young British people.

Why do the British media say that he cannot do this, when I know that he will not accept anything less than fundamental reform and a common market?
