IN reply to S Musa's letter of November 18, in which he states 'if anyone was taking your land away from you, would you sit back and let them go ahead, or fight back?'

May I tell him that has been happening in Britain for years, but we have 'laws' which stop us speaking out. Is S Musa aware of the country he is living in? This is England, Great Britain, which is part of Christendom, it is not part of Islam and, as far as I and other Christians are concerned, it will remain that way.

If there is a challenge to that, would S Musa agree that we Christians would feel that our 'lands' and places of worship were being taken off us.? This country is part of Christendom. What does S Musa expect out of the demonstrations? That 'England' start out on the 'ninth crusade'. There have been 'eight crusades' already to establish 'Christendom' as the hymn says -- 'In England's green and pleasant land'.

What does S Musa want from England? To abandon its history, to deny 'Christendom' and, at the end of the day, as things get worse between Israel and Islam, to send a Christian army to the Holy Land to fight for S Musa's and other countries, while thousands of non-Christians stay in England as onlookers? S Musa will find that most Christians will not stand for it.

May I remind S Musa that 'Christianity' and 'Christendom' are built on the belief in Jesus Christ who came from Cannan in Palestine, now Israel and Christians will not 'deny him'. As for myself, I am also 'British and English' by the grace of God and my loyalties are to 'Christendom and this nation. It is about time that those who come to settle in Christendom decide where their loyalties lie if they intend to stay here.
