Now apart from Bob's somewhat lack of a Christian,Muslim or secular sense of compassion to the clearly deranged (the pastor) it is somewhat difficult for any sane individual to consider that this blog is anything other than completely anti-racist.<br /><br /> So Bob, we can only assume that you, the EDL and the Pastor line up on one side of the debate and sane, sensible and rational Norfolk folk on the other!<br /><br />Michael Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433244929557122306.post-38824934325106654862012-10-08T05:59:28.296+01:002012-10-08T05:59:28.296+01:00As a fellow proud member of Norfolk Hnh I would li...As a fellow proud member of Norfolk Hnh I would like to support this post - perhaps unlike many other groups(!) we welcome diverse views on all matter of things and whilst not a secularist myself I think the post is, as always, well thought out and argued.<br /><br /> I am not sure that the EDL would have needed a reason to organise a protest in Norwich so the leaflet is a (red) herring, albeit a particularly charmless one.<br /><br /> It would be great if contributors could put their real identities on posts just so that we can understand who says what, otherwise "Anonymous" is sometimes schizophrenic.<br /><br /> The forthcoming protest/march/dust-up by the EDL will inevitably heighten tensions in Norfolk but there is no need for it to do long-term damage provided that it is policed properly and the EDL keep within the law. Indeed there is an argument that by organising their protest the EDL are actually doing their bit for community relations by bringing everybody together who knows that their views are barmy...<br /><br /> And Berry...you have been told....you are a very silly boy!<br /><br />Michael Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433244929557122306.post-84022140417183027462012-10-07T15:33:47.254+01:002012-10-07T15:33:47.254+01:00If you want to post your "personal thoughts&q...If you want to post your "personal thoughts" online then you should set up a blog in your own name. That would be the appropriate place to express your NSS-type views on how anti-Muslim bigots have a right to distribute hate literature and it's wrong for Norwich council to interfere with their exercise of this right. What's unacceptable is that you are posting these views in the name of a national anti-racist campaign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433244929557122306.post-53658254759211607212012-10-06T13:47:39.334+01:002012-10-06T13:47:39.334+01:00We need to take an broader view.
