Do you think Boris Johnson鈥檚 comments about the niqab are Islamophobic? We're asking after the Prime Minister called on the former home secretary to apologise. After that Sheetal is joined by young Londoners Mohammed Randeree and Hannah Kaufman to tell us about being invited over to the USA by the American government to find out more on what it takes to be a leader. Then we hear from Paula Rhone-Adrien, the barrister for Mohammed Shahbaz Khan, whose Islamic wedding ceremony was legally recognised under English law. A High Court recently ruled the nikah ceremony falls within scope of the 1973 Matrimonial Causes Act. And then we ask, can you ever take a break from your religious duties? We'll hear from Balvinder Kaur, Chair of the Sikh Women's Alliance, Imam Abdul Basit a practicing Muslim and Dr Rishi Handa from a Hindu background with a PhD in the study of religions in our 'What's god got to do with it?' feature.
