SOME people are not going to like this, but this nonsense has been going on for some time now, so I will say my piece.
It seems that there are some folk in Bolton who feel the urge to tell Yasmin Qureshi either what should be doing as an MP, or what she should be doing as a Muslim.
I am not a Labour party member and have never met Miss Qureshi but it does seem to be the case over the years she has been in Bolton that if she so much as blinks people write in to the Bolton News to complain about it. It is also ridiculous to suggest that every time there is an atrocity in the world that is perpetrated by Muslims that prominent UK Muslims must condemn these actions unequivocally because it people from their faith who carried out the attacks.
If this is the case let's not have double standards here. I have never seen or heard a Christian politician (who make up around 94% of all politicians in the UK) condemning the actions of Christian terrorists domestic or otherwise.
