THIS
MUSLIM BASHING MUST STOP, BNP
AGENDA GOES MAINSTREAM
Published:

The
Ramadhan Foundation is deeply concerned that the response from some
politicians and the media to the comments by Archbishop of Canterbury
Dr. Rowan Williams is clearly anti Islamic and an attempt to demonise
Islam. The coverage in the media paints a picture which is one of
division and one that encourages attacks on Muslims.
It
is clear that there is Muslim bashing and that the BNP agenda has gone
mainstream.
Mr.
Mohammed Shafiq, Director of the Foundation comments:
“The
Ramadhan Foundation is deeply concerned at the tone of the debate in
relation to Archbishop’s comments on Sharia Law, there are attempts to
demonise Islam and paint a gross distortion of what the Bishop actually
said.
Muslim
bashing has become fashionable and it is now clear that the BNP agenda has gone
mainstream in the UK; bigots are using this debate to establish
division and hatred towards innocent Muslims.
When
will people realise that this hatred against Islam is clear and that we
must unite against this racism and prejudice”
