PATOR JONES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE UK
Mr. Mohammed
Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation comments:
“The decision of the
fascist EDL to invite US Pastor Terry Jones to the UK demonstrates Mr.
Jones real agenda of racism and fascism and his presence here is not
conducive to good community relations in the UK. We are a tolerant and
peaceful society that prides itself on its diversity and are keen to see
communities come together not be ripped apart.
I am a strong
defender of free speech but when someone who will incite hatred towards
Muslims and furthermore there is a real threat of violence then the
Government must ban that person. I would remind Mr. Jones that the UK
is proud of British Muslims, our heritage and our contributions here.
We are an integral part of our great country and if you come here to
promote hatred and division then stay home.
Mr. Jones claims he
is a man of Christianity but the great faith of Christianity teaches
tolerance, respect and Jesus came to eradicate racism not encourage it –
Mr. Jones’s comments and actions run counter to Christianity.
The Home Secretary
must not hesitate to ban him from entering the UK, if this does not
happen then the Government will be responsible for the division that
will ultimately happen if he is allowed to come.
