Your opinion on a gurdwara in Kent naming a worship hall after Jarnail Singh Bhindrawala.

A gurdwara in Gravesend is naming a worship hall after Jarnail Singh Bhindrawala - is this right? Plus is it inappropriate for young children to learn about Shariah law?

At 1, Nihal chairs the debate of the day and we want to hear your opinion on this - 'The biggest gurdwara in Europe - in Gravesend in Kent - is naming a worship hall after Jarnail Singh Bhindrawala - is this right?' 

He's a controversial person in modern Sikh history, some Sikhs see him as a martyr and freedom fighter, others think he's more of a political figure and that has no place in a gurdwara. Do you agree with the decision? 

After 2, Did you watch last night's Panorama about some weekend Islamic schools using the Saudi curriculum to teach British Muslim children? What did you make of it? Has it made you think twice about what your children may be learning at weekend religious schools? Is it inappropriate for young children to learn about Shariah law?
