Cartoon row
19 June 2006
Dear Sir
Melanie Phillips's encounters with appeasement minded editors show we have learnt little from 7/7. After all, how many editors in this country published the controversial Danish cartoons in February? The hard left are not alone in thinking that we will all sleep safely so long as we leave Iraq and build Palestine. In the meantime, spineless leaders refuse to denounce the religious fanaticism that underlies today's proliferating Islamic violence. At times like this we should remember George Orwell's wise words: 'The notion that you can somehow defeat violence by submitting to it is simply a flight from fact.'
Yours sincerely
Jeremy Havardi
