Put up or shut up, Nazir-Ali
Michael Nazir-Ali ([1], [2]) has been lent yet another adulatory interview by the Sunday Torygraph, with the same claims about death threats and one about his claim of no-go areas being "based on evidence", but it appears that his interviewer did not press him on what that evidence was and he has still not offered any, other than the incident where Omar Brookes heckled the former Home Secretary during a visit to Leyton in 2007, and then they only printed one part of Brooks's sentence.
I submitted a comment which made the point that Nazir-Ali had not addressed the complaints about his claim, namely that it's false and that he had not bothered to offer any evidence, but free speech is not much in vogue on the Torygraph's moderated comment box, whose editors prefer only to let readers cheer Nazir-Ali on and claim he's the only one with the "courage" to speak the "truth" (well, except for Richard Desmond's Daily Spew!). And it is not as if I insulted his religion or insinuated that his mother is also his half-sister.
Give us one single example, Nazir-Ali! Put up or shut up.

I wouldn't be surprised if his half/whole sister is his mother and he has a long tail and two horns and sits on coals when he is out of view.
To imagine that some one like him can claim to believe in the Abrahamic God is beyond me. His devilishly ambitious politics and slurs are evil and hateful.
The CoE should post him to Timbuktu so we hear less of hellish views.

Is this what Christianity in the UK has come to: fear of another religion so great that even its high clergy make lies in public?

In one of Princess Di's phone conversations taped by spooks, she mentions how one Bishop asked her advice on caring for suffering people, a chore he evidently neither enjoyed nor was any good at. That's the problem with intellectual religious hierarchies - it favours the academically gifted rather than the spiritual.

So their comment box is censored. I tried getting the first post in and was surpirsed a few hours later to see no sign of it!
