Proceeding contribution from Lord Ahmed (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

Are statements from religious scripture excluded? For example, an imam might be speaking in relation to oppressed people and quote from the Koran that, ““It is compulsory for you to fight to rescue those oppressed people””. Would such statements amount to encouragement when he is making reference to the Koran?
