Syed Kamall MEP's letter to Gerard Batten MEP

Syed Kamall, leader of the British Conservative MEPs, sent the following letter to UKIP's Gerard Batten this week in response to the latter's request for British Muslims to sign a declaration of opposition to violence:

"Dear Gerard,

I read with interest your intervention on the subject of Islam, seeking written pledges from Muslims that they will not commit acts of violence or indulge in terrorist rhetoric.

Do you have a form I can sign already? I am anxious to assure you that I have no intention of mounting any attacks on unsuspecting infidels, nor of attempting to radicalise you or anyone else.

If the forms aren’t ready yet, perhaps you would take this note as my guarantee? My wife and family would be most reassured to know you will allow me to stay in Britain, especially since I was born here.

Please feel free to drop into my office to discuss this over a cup of tea. I promise you will be entirely safe.

Yours sincerely,

Syed Kamall
Leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament”
