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

I apologise for pursuing this a little further, but what about the bookshop that actually sells books? Dr Badawi recently gave me a book to look at on jihad, written by a scholar who promoted jihad. If bodies such as the Muslim College—it has given me this book to read and wants it analysed, as happens in organisations like colleges—have books available and, more importantly, if booksellers have books for sale in their shops which sometimes have verses in a religious context from the Koran and the Hadiz which may be translated or interpreted as encouraging terrorism, is that covered under the clause?
