Better Safe than Sorry!

Theresa May’s decision to bar Zakir Naik , an Islamic preacher from India, who believes that “every Muslim should be a terrorist”, is brave and just. As Home Secretary the security of our nation and its borders is her first priority and she is proving to be up to the task.

Several on the Left and some Liberals will claim that her decision is an infringement on his freedom of speech but they will be wise to know that inciting hearted and stirring up violence is an infringement on British freedoms. And in the case of Zakir Naik prevention is far better than any cure.

Personally, I feel the minute someone used, promoted or supported violence to make a point – regardless of what point – they lost the right to all civilities. Unless you are attacked there is no need to attack!
