That was the question posed by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey. His speech inevitably provoked an outcry despite his protestations that he was only posing questions not statements of belief.

We asked whether high profile criticism of Islam is acceptable post-9/11 and whether it'll damage rather than help race relations.
