Poster gets angry at George Laird for referring to List MSP Humza Yousaf as a Muslim MSP, standard set by the press and Muslim organisations













Dear Anon

“Why call him a Muslim MSP. He's an MSP just like the 128 others to whose religion you don't refer”.

It is the job of the press and bloggers to be factually true, I attempt to operate to the same standards as the national press on my blog.

Can you tell me did you write in and complain to Herald Scotland or Sunday Mail or even the Muslim organisations who also called him a Muslim MSP?

Or are you holding me to a different set of standards?

Yours sincerely

    Well said, George.
    And I was nearly banned from Newsnet Scotland for complaning that Mr Yousaf wanted preferential treatment for others of his ethnicity.

    Aye.

    But is he a Catholic Muslim or a Protestant Muslim?

    Hello Glasgow.
