Dear Sir,
I am grateful for Mr Malik’s examples of including Christians in their relief efforts in Mosul and in the Philippines, and stand corrected.
The burden of my article was that in the current situation of ISIS terrorism, people are being discriminated against precisely because of their religion. Therefore their religious affiliation should not be a reason either for DFID who helps Islamic Relief nor Christian Aid to refuse to provide specific help for these Christian communities who are crying out for help to support the flood of refugees.
It would indeed be an excellent example internationally if Islamic Aid were to demonstrate conclusively that it is providing specific aid to these Christians who are being persecuted and killed by the Islamists in order to show that responsible leaders in Islam are distancing themselves from Islamic State.
Yours sincerely,
