IN the Spring issue of the Blackburn Diocesan magazine, 'The See,' two factions joined with Home Secretary Jack Straw in a programme to warn youths of the perils of drug taking.
Mr Talha Wadee speaks for the Lancashire Council of Mosques and Mr Ilyas Foy, chairman of Muslim Action Against Drugs, states that Muslim children of 12 and 13 years have easy access to A and B-class drugs.
He further states that some of the largest operators in drugs were Muslims, despite being prohibited to take intoxicant drugs in the Koran.
These people are to be admired for speaking out to name Muslims and co-operate with Christians in a joint effort.
W B CAMPBELL (Mr), Maple Street, Great Harwood.
