On 25 May Prime Minister HE addressed a congregation of more than 4,000 Christians, covered in “HE Goes on Tirade Against Opponents” (May 26).

—Letter to the Editor—

I have some knowledge of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism, and have embraced some moral and ethical values from each of these religions. This has made me wonder how those Christians gathered in that huge conference hall really felt and what they thought about such a “tirade” or “a mammoth three hour rant” as the Daily saw that address.


I have further wondered how they felt when they heard our prime minister saying, “To ensure the lives of millions of people, we are willing to eliminate 100 to 200 people because we have seen bitter past experiences.”

I feel it was, in the first place, utterly inappropriate to rant at such length at such a function held by and for people of religious faith, at a place that ought to be thought of as a house of God for the duration of the function, and from a rostrum that ought to be seen as a pulpit.

I also feel it was abominable, horrible and abhorrent to think of being “willing” to kill people, to sacrifice some human beings, for the sake of the lives of other and more numerous fellow human beings, and boast about such a thought.

I wondered about this when I skim-read it the other day, but didn't pause on it long enough. The impression I got was that Fluffy Bunny was directly threatening to have people killed if things didn't go his way...

I had posted a link from the original story when it came out, hoping you'd comment.
It did make me laugh that he addressed his usual, or perhaps even specially selected, threats at a Christian gathering.
That guy knows no bounds.
