I DO not perceive myself as a right winger but it does seem as if the authorities favour Muslims over those who deem themselves to be English, as in the English Defence League.

There is no doubt at all that Halal meat is being sold in more and more outlets throughout the county. It is not right-wing to object to this.

Appalling animal cruelty is involved in the slaughter of animals for this, contrary to what Coun Mulla says.

And it is strange that a section 14 order can be placed so quickly on demonstrators to restrict their numbers.

When hysteria was in the spotlight over the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, Muslims paraded around Blackburn.

One carried a placard stating “freedom is cancer, Islam is the answer.”

I note no section 14 order was apparent then.

Insulting behaviour works both ways.

My father fought fascism and I find describing freedom as cancer grossly insulting.

Yet nothing was done over this.

It is no wonder that some sections of the country think islamification is happened in our country today.
