The English Defence League exemplify the camp mentality that Paul Gilroy speaks of. Identity is finished and closed. But more than that, in spite of repeated denials the EDL are dominated by a vile and violent Islamophobia as this article and video from the Guardian reveal.... Sikhism emphasises the sacramental nature of hospitality...unconditional welcome within the Langar....
Islam reminds us of the unity of humanity and the duty laid on all Muslims to work for social justice.....
Christians speak of a catholic community: one diverse worldwide community...Created in the image of the one God.... One race...the human race....
But what difference do such values make to the way people of faith act in thef ace of injustice? Check out the web link below and see what you think. Is this the kind of urban Britain you recognise?
