Award refused for standing up to Israel atrocities

Sir, Muslim civil rights lawyer suffers because she criticises human rights abuses by Israel. (‘Award to Muslim civil rights lawyer rescinded to appease pro-Israel activists’, The Muslim News, 29 June). And who punishes her? An interfaith organisation which should be inclusive.
Interfaith institutions are nothing but elitist and one sided. Muslims are always dictated to.
Congratulations to Zahra Billoo for standing up to them. Many Muslims would not be courageous enough to do so.
British Muslims should learn from the American Muslims.

Yours,
Uthman Shah
