By allowing us to fall out, Choudary has achieved his aim. People like him are rabble rouser. He is a very intelligent and educated man, who knows exactly what he is doing. We should ignore him as much as we can. When he appears on Newsnight, etc we know exactly what he is going to say....there is a zero chance of a conversion on the road to Damascus.
While I think that it was, on judgement, a reasonable idea for him to be invited on to the Today program, perhaps it will be a long time before the BBC think that we need a further dose of hatred and drivel from him again.
