Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
I am aware of the reports and I share my hon. Friend’s view that it is total nonsense. My column in the Lancashire Telegraph this week is about exactly that subject. The simple truth is that my Muslim constituents and friends also wish to see Christmas celebrated. What is forgotten by those who come out with this nonsense is that those of the Muslim faith honour our prophets, and those of the Jewish religion, as much as they honour their own prophets.
