Why is it OK to offend Christians?

I DON’T agree with Humza Yousaf on much but I stand shoulder to shoulder with him, Anas Sarwar and others in their campaign against Islamophobia.

No one should be derided because of their colour, ethnicity or faith.

I find the anti-Semitism in the Labour Party a source of enormous pain and shame. I will fight that too.

But here’s a thing. Coming out of church on Easter Sunday, I read this on social media from the BBC’s financial guru Paul Lewis: ‘Executed preacher, 33, returns from dead and is really a god. Yes, it’s April 1 again.’

This prophet of profit is entitled to his atheism or whatever it is he believes in. But why is it OK to go out of your way to be offensive to Christians on our holiest day? Would he have posted something like that about Muhammad or Passover – and if he did, what would have been the reaction? The division now is not between Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist. It is between people of faith and no faith. Both deserve respect. I do not defend the rights of anyone else because it is politically correct. I do so because I believe in them. Yet people such as Mr Lewis, left, play the political correctness card with some and feel free to offend Christians. You can turn the other cheek and still be astonished at the cheek and offensiveness of people like him.
