Martin J Slattery Principal Bilborough College
Dear Mr Slattery,
It has been brought to our attention that
Bilborough College supports Operation Christmas Child, a project run by
the Samaritan's Purse.
The Samaritan's Purse is an evangelical
organisation run by Franklin Graham, the hatemonger whose remarks such as
describing Islam as "a very evil and wicked religion," have in the past
served only to anger the Muslim community.
This project exploits human suffering around
the world to promote extremist evangelical teachings by offering food in
one hand and bible in the other. In his book, Rebel With A Cause, Graham
writes "I turned my attention again to the primary goal of Samaritan's
Purse - sharing the gospel. Some people are a bit surprised to learn that
this is our main focus, but it's true. We are not just a Christian relief
organization". [Page 187]
Recently we have witnessed the 10 Downing
Street, Co-Op, B & Q and South Wales fire service retract their support
for this project as they realised the toxic agenda behind this operation.
Bilborough college accommodates students of
different religious backgrounds and it is vital that the college is not
seen as supporting such an organisation.
We look forward to a response from you.
Kind regards,
Hasan Abdullah
