Letter: Surely it is the British people that should be protected from the Muslim population, and not the other way round?
A letter from Edward Colston-Mitchell:
The prime minister recently pledged an additional £10 million in security funding to “protect Muslim communities from hate crimes and attacks”.
That seems odd to me. Maybe the prime minister hasn’t noticed that the majority of terror attacks in the UK in the past 20 years have been perpetrated by Muslims against British people.
The London 7/7/2005 Underground and bus bombing, the 22/05/2013 murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby, the 22/03/2017 London Bridge attack, and the 22/05/2017 Manchester Arena bomb outrage spring to mind.
The list of attacks by Muslims globally is significant, and available online.
In light of this, surely it is the British people that should be protected from the Muslim population, and not the other way round?
