DAVID DAVIES MP ATTACK ON
MUSLIMS AND ETHNIC MINORITIES, TEENAGE RAPIST
Published: 27/01/2010 19:30
Mr.
Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation comments:
“I am
disgusted with David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth’s attempts
today to link the disgusting case of a teenage rapist to the Muslim and
Ethnic minority communities on the BBC. We in our communities find what
Bilal Khan has done evil and totally unacceptable in Islam and for Mr.
Davies to suggest that somehow these rapist attitudes is engrained in
some parts of the BME communities is deeply offensive and of no
substance.
Clearly
Mr. Davies has not provided any evidence to back his absurd views and
along with Douglas Murray from the Centre of Social Cohesion the right
wing brigade are trying once again to demonise and attack Islam and
Muslims.
There
are many examples of domestic violence and murder in white communities
as the case of Eddlington last week clearly demonstrated but we do not
used that case to demonise all white people.
Mr.
Davies and his fellow right wingers should apologise for the hurt this
has caused our communities and recognise these statements are deeply
irresponsible and not befitting a member of Parliament and a
organisation that wants to promote social cohesion.”
END
