Imams to give citizenship lessons

Thousands of Muslim children attend madrasas after school
Mosques are being urged to provide citizenship lessons for the thousands of youngsters they see daily.
About 100,000 UK youngsters attend Islamic religious schools attached to mosques - madrasas - every day.

A new curriculum aims to tackle extremism and counter messages about perceived clashes between Islam and British culture.

It was drawn up by a group of mosques in Bradford and is being backed by the Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly.
