THIS MUSLIM BASHING MUST STOP, BNP AGENDA GOES MAINSTREAM
Published: 08/02/2008 08:00
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"
