The East London vicar speaks

Saturday, 22nd March 2008

Via Faith Central, an interview with Canon Michael Ainsworth, the cleric attacked by Asian youths outside his church earlier this month. Evidence of jihad and attempts to set up no-go areas?

"We must respond calmly, and not jump to conclusions..."  Coping with the hysteria from "wild" national press coverage had been "almost worse than being attacked."  He felt helpless as his church was besieged by cameramen and reporters after the story broke last Friday. "They have their own agendas," said Mr Ainsworth, "as do the bloggers, both professional and amateur, who are using the story for their own ends and drawing bizarre, mainly racist, conclusions."
