Were not Muslims seen on television screens flying into the Twin Towers? And have not placards proclaiming, "Islam will dominate the world" been seen, with Muslims holding British Passports stating they were Islamic first, not British?

Does the brain deceive when Mr Gunter, (You Say November 16) tells us the Koran teaches love, tolerance, compassion then in the next breath bursting into a torrent of intolerance and abuse?

The Bible has always been open to criticism. Thousands of jokes have been written about Christianity.

However, the Salman Rushdie affair proved the Koran otherwise.

Perhaps Mr Gunter will enlighten us as to why Islamic countries, who supposedly teach love, tolerance and compassion will neither permit the building of Christian churches.

The fact is, those who are not Muslim are infidels to be brought under its yoke - by force if necessary.

Where was the love, tolerance and compassion for the innocent people on those four hijacked planes and the thousands in the towers?
