HOW ABSOLUTELY disgusting that idiots from the National Front tried to disrupt the peaceful march of the Islamic Society last Sunday. This annual march has been held peacefully in Newport for many years. These people are part of the fabric of Newport’s society, have lived here for many years and are completely integrated and part of our city.

They have a perfect right to freedom of speech and freedom to celebrate their religion’s important days without fear or intimidation from these idiots. We have excellent race relations here and don’t need these fools trying to inflame racial hatred.

Anyone with half a brain would know they are nothing to do with maniacs from Isis carrying out terrorist acts. They are simply commemorating an anniversary important to their religion.
