Criticising a senior Muslim cleric for hate speech against Jews (Ugly
speech the fault of one, November 25), your editorial implies that it might constitute an offence against “a seldom-used ban on certain kinds of insulting speech”. And fair enough.
But with the “declining news media sector” (Calm voices and reliable
information, same date) proved wrong by the Trump triumph of “deplorables”
(Liberals hold tight to disdain, same date) and still wearing blinkers,
it might be useful to reflect on your readership of “deplorables” and their
reaction to Tom Scott’s cartoons, which are occasionally insulting to Christians
in general and Catholics in particular.
Scott would realize that because they're supposed to turn the other cheek, Christians
present a soft target. I’ve been waiting for a non-Christian to speak up but
they haven’t so I will.
Only in the interests of shoring up your declining
readership, of course.
