Leading North West MEP calls for Greater Respect for Muslim Views
Peter Devine25/ 9/2007
A LEADING North West MEP has called for more respect to be paid to the views of the Muslim community in Britain.
Addressing delegates at Labour's conference in Bournemouth this week, Gary Titley, said being a Muslim did not negate them being also European.
Mr Titley said a British Muslim recently told a conference in Germany that people constantly labelled his views and perspectives as European and his perspectives as European."
Mr Titley said:"Nobody who lives and works legally in Europe should have to prove they belong. If you want people to be citizens you have to treat them as citizens.
"Europe is not an exclusive white Christian club. Europe is a union of diverse cultures, traditions and histories.
