It all hinges on a basic misconception:
That somehow to create equality and space for minority faiths and cultures we need to erase our majority religious heritage.
But it is my belief that the societies we are, the cultures we’ve created, the values we hold and the things we fight for...
...stem from something we’ve argued over, dissented from, discussed and built up:
Centuries of Christianity.
It’s what the Holy Father called the “unrenounceable Christian roots of [our] culture and civilisation”.

So, it took a Muslim lady to courageously state what the bishops of the CofE and other Christian leaders should have been saying all along (and to their credit, some have, but all too many have been silent in the face of creeping secularism).
