Tony Blair reading the Koran

Does the fact that Tony Blair reads the Koran every day make you think differently about him? Plus immigration lawyer Harjap Bhangal answers your questions.

At 1- Does the fact that Tony Blair reads the Koran every day make you think differently about him?

In an interview with yesterday's Observer the former Prime Minister said he read it 'partly to understand some of the things happening in the world, but mainly just because it is immensely instructive'. When you hear him say that, does it change your opinion of the man?

During his time in government his chief spin doctor Alastair Campbell famously said: 'We don't do God.' But since leaving office he's been far more open about religion - converting to catholicism and establishing his own Faith foundation. But are you surprised to hear he reads the Koran on a daily basis? In your eyes does it change the sort of man he is? Or - to paraphrase comments made by callers on previous phone ins - will you forever associate him with an illegal war in Iraq?

After 2- Our guru Harjap Bhangal answers your immigration questions.
