"'Defend to death' was said by Voltaire first, I believe."
I believed so until comparatively recently - apparently it is incorrectly attributed to him but Ms Hall was the originator of the saying apparently.

Must write to Q.I.
"I stated repeatedly that their religion was not in any way relevant,"
Being Muslim refers to a religion - being a Pakistani is a reference to national origins, Male refers to gender, ergo all male Muslim Pakistanis being culturally implanted with a tendency to bed underage girls is an attack on an entire communities race, religion and gender - Three at a Blow, as the folk-tale would have it - doesn't come any more all-embracing than that.
You have yet to produce one single "eminent person" who made such a statement, and if you produced a thousand, it wouldn't make the slightest difference to the fact that it is deeply racist, sectarian and inflammatory - such stuff are holocausts made of.
Your hiding behind your so-called Christianity is as revolting as your "historians" and your "experts"
Your disgusting views bear not the slightest resemblance to any genuie Christian I have ever met, including virtually all my friends and neighbours here, and a considerable number of my family.
I honestly believe you would have to fill in an application form to become a member of the human race - and you would almost certainly be turned down.
If what you state as your views represents anything resembling a religion, it is very easy to see where fundamentalism; Christian, Jewish, Muslim...., comes from.
You are a one-off head-banger Keith
