Some are more equal than others

Scottish Muslim leaders are urging their communities not to vote for any candidate who supports the redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples in the forthcoming council elections. Meanwhile Ken Livingstone, London mayoral candidate, wants to educate Londoners in the Koran, if elected, in order to make London a beacon for the teachings of Islam. Does this mean that Red Ken is now against the redefinition of marriage to include gay couples? Calton is struggling to find any other way to square this apparent circle. Meanwhile Norwich City Council has banned a church from using its premises because of their supposed attitudes towards Islam even although no hate crime has been committed. Have any muslim groups been banned due to their attitudes towards homosexuals? It seems that some people are more equal than others in modern-day Britain.
