I WOULD like to thank Gwent Police for their swift action in dealing with the troublemakers at Sunday’s Newport Muslims parade. National Front are not welcome here and I understand they were causing offence around the city centre doing Nazi salutes and shouting abuse.
Thank goodness most, if not all, were from out of town and London. In fairness, Muslims in Newport have settled well and are now part of our community and many have been here for several generations. They are in no way connected with the butchering tribe terrifying the Middle-East and Africa. Accordingly, Newport people should not judge every Muslim by those standards. Recently, we have had all sorts of demonstrations here and Muslims are entitled to enjoy peace and safety when celebrating their beliefs here.
