Maybe close down the 'working group' and use the money saved for something a bit more important.

If they feel Islam should be made a special case – and I don’t think it should - yes, they should replace this man but preferably not with a Muslim. Another government advisor on Islamic affairs, Ahtsham Ali, appointed well over one hundred extremist Imams to prisons and co-authored a manual used to teach in prisons that describes Jihad as ‘one of the noblest acts’.

No, just abandon the Post. It is not needed and you will never find someone impartial to do it.
