SIR - I am dismayed, but not surprised, that some residents of Manningham have decided to protest against a local sex shop which sports a window display of mannequins dressed in lingerie (T&A, October 27) which, I might add, was approved by the Council's licensing panel.
Residents' protests obviously stem from the fact the mannequins offend their religious beliefs.
What they have failed to understand, though, is the fact that this kind of display is acceptable in our liberal society. Let us just hope the shop owner is not intimidated and forced to shut up shop.
People often ask me, what is the problem with multiculturalism?
Multiculturalism is the single biggest threat to a cohesive society in Bradford. Dealing with the problems of segregation is not going to be resolved by allowing minority groups to play by their own rules.
Let us hope our liberal society continues to reign over this religious dogma.
