| CAGE director Asim Qureshi refused to condemn the stoning of adulterous women |
Asim Qureshi, director of Muslim rights group CAGE, was asked about views advocated by an Islamic scholar he had described as a mentor.
These included positions of female genital mutilation, domestic violence and stoning women as punishment for adultery. When questioned repeatedly about these views on BBC's This Week programme by presenter Andrew Neil Mr Qureshi refused to condemn the opinions.
Others extreme positions he refused to condemn included horrifying claims that Jews are descended from pigs and that homosexuality is evil.
