Paisley Jnr backs Christian Institute

January 26th, 2005 by Monitor

Ian Paisley Jr, DUP Assemblyman and carbon-copy clone of his father, further demonstrated his talent for mimickry by parroting the words of the Christian Institute director Colin Hart. In his declaration of support for the CI’s High Court action, Junior said:

It is inconceivable that the BBC would broadcast a show that abused the prophet Mohammed or Guru Nanak in the same way.

and added

Genuine religious debate and criticism is one thing, but this show is an offensive, spiteful, systematic mockery and wilful denigration of Christian belief.

Verbatim.

It remains to be seen what impact Ian “Pretty Polly” Paisley’s endorsement will have on the action.
