Demonising world religions

10:17am Friday 15th June 2007 in Letters

I LIVE in the St James ward. I am a Christian and quite frankly I am appalled at the blatant racist attitude towards Sardar Pappu Singh, Mr Rehman and Mr Ahmed.

Christianity, Sikhism, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism all share many core values but I am afraid that many of the pro-Malcolm Davis camp prefer to let their own stereotypical prejudices get in the way of honest debate regarding community cohesion.

Do not get me wrong, I am no fan of Councillor Caunt, but when I see childish comments and racist rhetoric used in letters submitted by John Morton trying to demonise a whole group of major world religions based on the acts of a few it is totally absurd and not on!

Personally I find Mr Morton's letter is inflammatory and is an example of incitement to hatred towards others.

He may blow the freedom of speech trumpet but sorry he has crossed due limits.
