Britain's Blair Calls For More Cultural Integration of Religious Groups

The AP reports that in Britain today, Prime Minister Tony Blair pressed for greater cultural integration of immigrants. He announced that grants to religious groups would only be given to those that promote understanding between different sectors of society. He said that all faith schools should team up with schools teaching a different religion and supported laws that require preachers arriving in Britain from overseas to be able to speak English.
