With dhimmitude galloping ahead in the UK (cf. so many of the stories I have already posted here this morning), the Muslim Council of Britain tells both major parties: toe the line on the religious hatred bill, or else. From the Times Online, with thanks to Ali Dashti:
The Muslim Council of Britain, the country”s biggest Islamic organisation, has sent letters to Michael Howard, leader of the Tories, and to Charles Kennedy, leader of the Lib Dems, reminding them of the importance of the legislation for Muslims. The letter is believed to warn Howard and Kennedy of the negative impact that opposition to the bill may have….
Iqbal Sacranie, secretary-general of the Muslim council, said: “We are clear that incitement to religious hatred will remain central to our campaign as we approach the election. We feel that any opposition will be seen by the Muslim community as not being supportive of issues affecting them.”
Islamic groups have been campaigning for incitement to religious hatred to become law for more than 10 years. They feel that such a law is required to protect their communities from Islamophobia, especially from far-right groups.
Great. What will protect non-Muslims from the jihadist sentiments of Britain’s largest Muslim group?
