Letter: Tolerance, please
In fact, Britain has a long history of tolerance and diversity and Lady Warsi would serve us better by encouraging greater integration within our three million-strong Muslim community.
Intolerance for Jews, Christians and Hindus is expressed socially and legally across much of the Islamic Crescent, so a slightly less hectoring tone would be appreciated.

Hide AdI agree with parts of her speech but I cannot follow the reasoning behind her assertion that distinguishing between "moderate" and "extremist" Muslims fosters prejudice.
Like many other indigenous Scots I have gentle, cosmopolitan and much-valued friends within the Islamic community and most certainly distinguish between them and al-Qaeda.
