In the second of three programmes, John Humphrys, one of the UK's top news presenters, comes face to face with leading religious figures. Once John believed in God, but now he says he has lost his faith and so he challenges Christian, Jewish and Islamic scholars to convert him back to belief again. This week he speaks to the Muslim academic Professor Tariq Ramadan. How does he reconcile the Muslim belief in a merciful God with suffering in the world, what does he believe when he
says the Qur'an is the "very word of God" and what is his response to Muslims who say their faith justifies violence.
