The website goes on to claim that Jesus was a Muslim and would have been branded a radical by the British government.

“Jesus was indeed a Muslim and like the Muslims today, called mankind to obey the law of God as opposed to the law of man,” it reads.

“Just as the Muslims in the UK insist that their allegiance is to God alone, similarly Jesus asked his people to obey his Lord as opposed to weak men like Gordon Brown and George Bush, who follow nothing but their own whims and desires.”

Bishop Aldred said he believed religious groups could not be divided by radicals.

“I am immensely proud that here in Birmingham I work with colleagues who are leaders of all the major faiths present in this city,” he said. “We get along in honest friendliness, and encourage our followers to do the same.

“Simply by being people of faith, we have more in common than what divides us. And there is so much that we can achieve in cooperation with one another than we ever could in perennial antagonism.

“We must never give in to political opportunism masquerading as religious truth, from wherever it comes.”
