Letter to the NSS

Dear Sir,

This week sees two notable British people proclaiming that the most important thing to them in their lives is their religion. The first is Rizwan Ditta, who has just finished serving a very short prison sentence for possessing material likely to be useful to terrorists. True to the Qur’an, he states “I believe that my loyalties and priorities, even though I’ve been born and bred in England, lie with the Muslims”.

Hot on his heels is Sir Mota Singh QC who is arguing for children (Sikhs) to be allowed to take knives into schools. “The fact that I’m a Sikh matters more to me than anything else,” he said – which would show contempt for the law were it not for the fact that the law allows an exemption in this case for Sikhs, as it does for Muslims and Jews when it comes to ritual animal slaughter. So much for one law for all.

Best regards,

Gavin Orland
