Call for Muslim radicals to leave
 The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has called on Muslim extremists to leave the country. The Reverend David Lacy said radical Islamists were "hypocrites" who treated their neighbours as "enemies". He said Muslims who speak out against the UK and have been accused of encouraging attacks on coalition soldiers in Iraq should leave. The comments have divided Kirk members but have received some support from within the Muslim community. Rev Lacy hit out at extremists who preach a message of terrorism. He said: "If they really hate the British enough to want us dead and bombed then it is hypocritical of them to stay here, it seems common sense for them to get out. "We want to be a multicultural family, but I think anyone, from any side or none, who says he or she wants a lot of British people dead is being hypocritical by staying here." The moderator also warned that civil liberties campaigners risked stressing rights while underplaying the need for individual responsibility. Posted by: Sock Puppet 0'Doom 2005-08-23 |
