It is disappointing to see letters now regularly appearing in the SA demonising Muslims.
Bill Collins says “Muslims have got a lot to answer for”. What nonsense. It is most noticeable that the authors of such letters are voters for UKIP.
The right-wing tabloids are constantly using their front pages to launch attacks on Muslims, which in turn, has helped to create a hostile society for them to live in, and which has seen an increase in attacks on mosques and individuals.
Islamophobia is racism and must be denounced at every opportunity.
