Play may feature at another venue

Central News have just run a piece on the play cancellation. In the story they mentioned that the Birmingham Stage Company had said they would run a version of the play if the Rep pulled the plug on the the Preeto Batty play. The Brummie Stage company is based at the Old Rep in Brum.

The arty brigade are crying their socks off at the so called censorship. Like to see them try and write such a play based at a Mosque.

Sikhs of Birmingham have got to start writing to the City Council and request that they put conditions on the funding the Rep receive. I think the Old Rep may also be subsidised by the City Council.

Also go along to any surgeries held by your local Brummie councillors and MPs at voice your disgust at how the Rep are misusing money by putting on such plays that victimise minority faiths.

Jus confirmed on the ITV news that it will be staged at another venue.

"In a city where ethnic minorities account for almost half the population and

with a strong record on good community relations, the Sikhs have received

support from the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham. The Most Rev

Vincent Nichols said the Sikh community had acted in a "reasonable and

measured way'' in representing their concerns over the play. He added: "Such

a deliberate, even if fictional, violation of the sacred place of the Sikh

religion demeans the sacred places of every religion. People of all faiths,

therefore, will be offended by this presentation."

Read this out to the protesters:

DON’T GET VIOLENT !!!!!

Lets not give them a chance to point fingers at us. It is vital that the protests be peaceful, otherwise they work against us.

If the media supports us, the general public will support us as well.
