Sir,

I cannot begin to express how shocked I was to read the racist diatribe with which Clarkson opened his latest piece of rubbish. Anyone who reads Clarkson should expect some humour and a degree of irreverence about the most things. But he really has gone too far.

If proof were needed that Sir Ian Blair has a point about institutionalised racism in the media, this is it. It is an article I would expect to be written by the likes of Nick Griffin, appearing in a BNP pamphlet, not in a respected family newspaper. The views expressed and the language used by Clarkson, for which you as Editor have to bear some culpability, are the first steps along the way to tragedies such as those that befell Stephen Lawrence, Rickie Reel, and Anthony Walker to name just a few amongst too many.

I believe in free speech. If I wanted to be racially abused and insulted, I would go to a right wing political party's meeting, not to see it in the safety and comfort of my own home.

If Ron Atkinson can be sacked for calling a black footballer a "f**king n****r", then Clarkson should lose his column for his piece. I will continue to be a "Sunday Times" reader, but not a Clarkson one.

Many would argue that Clarkson's greater sin is the poor quality of his writing. This gratuitous, nasty and highly tenuous link into his article on beverages adds weight to that view.

[daboss]

He should not be saying them words, as they don't really go with the rest of the articial

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4670370.stm <<< This is what I would call racist!

As far as Mr Clarkson goes, he IS the celeb that everyone loves to hate. I've always found his humour tasteless but it's the way in which he does it that I like. However, even I must admit that he's gone too far this time. The introduction does not relate to the rest of the article!

maplin dude that aint racist 4 f**k sake, come on dude...

i heard about this...pretty angry about it. the boycott that's taking place, i support it completely. to whoever said it wasn't racist, yes it's not RACIST, but it's very discriminatory. if you can't see the discrimination, then you're living in another world and need to seriously wake the hell up.

no depictions of prophet muhammad (salallahu aalaihi wa salam) nor any others mentioned in al-qur'an are allowed to be drawn in muslim society, nor should nor-muslims intend to depict them. there is already enough ignorance by non-muslims against muslims, due to the mass idiocy which the media shoves down your throats leading the majority of people to look at muslims as enemies. we don't need garbage like this floating around to enforce that even more.

it is insanely offensive, as is all racism and discrimination. those who are not affected by it directly or indirectly (empathy for those who are) obviously are oblivious to all else around them and have no concerns in life, therefore having no point in it. ending it would make no difference.

As the hindu's say This is Kalyug anything can happen,the world is all corruption,all being racist,bad bad things are happening.

[kidterra]

well, im a sikh, dont really care what hindus say....

[pakithug2nv]

loooooooool @ kidterra...u put that very bluntly

anyway...i think there shud b a limit to where you can chat bout religions...no 1 likes it when their religion is being tampered with...sikhs didnt like the behzti play...the christians didnt like that jerry springer production...and the muslims have to put up with this!

cant the world grow up? y does evry tom di*k n harry have to pick on issues that are like landmines waiting to explode?

[kidterra]

my opinion on the pics is that sometimes muslims can go over the top bout certain things, in this case i think its out of order what peeps like the french, germans and danish r doing, these r the same countries which r seeing a rise in fascism and and anti-semitism....

Bout the sikh play.... if those things (rape) took place in a gurdwara (which they NEVER EVER have), then great do a play, because then u dealing with facts.... But if u a sikh, like this bit*h is, y would u do a fictional play about a rape taking place in a gurdwara, stupid bit*h....

I dont want 2 say anything out of order, but i know 4 a FACT, there were peeps ready 2 shut her up 4 good, and it would have been her fault becasue when u mess with some1's religion, u incite the most radical and extreme of people....

no, we just hold islam high in our lives, at least most of us do. when there is an attack on an aspect of islam, it's an attack on the entire religion, since every little bit of the religion matters. nothing has changed. that's why many are offended.

and about "anti-semitism"...lol if you're referring to jews, then you're mistaken. semites are people who migrated from the arabian peninsula and its surrounding areas - obviously the arabs. these people consisted of muslims, christians, and jews, all semites, all "arab" as they are known today. when anyone is labeled anti-semitic, it is due to their criticism of the zionist state of israel, because they believe that it represents world jewry, which it does not. anyone who says anything negative about the effects of zionism is looked upon as a racist, and therefore, this label is slapped upon them by those in power - whether it be governments or jews, there's no difference.

as to fascism, yes it's spreading, and it's sad, but that's what happens when people are so intentionally dumbed down in the western world by the media, education systems, and governments, in order to allow leaders to get away with things with little or no effect from those who oppose it and do not allow themselves to become SHEEP. fascism will continue to grow and soon enough, unless this world ends, deaths of dissenters will become the norm. i can see that happening...and it's somewhat frightening

back to this cartoon however, just the fact that they would not apologize for the release of the drawing, and the fact that it was reprinted should show you what the sentiment of islam is in the western world. america's destruction of the world, whether it be physically or mentally, affects everyone...hence the reason why the UK itself also is home to much anti-muslim sentiment and pretty much a growing acceptance of ignorance towards islam and its followers.

The u.k aint anti islamic, the uk is way too PC for that... Ok then, people complain about the anti islamic feelings in the west, but what about the the anti jew and anti west feelings in the middle east, i know this has alot 2 do with the palestine issue, but still.

There is ignorence and hate on both sides, and these feelings of hate will just increase when isreal send a missile int2 iran 2 stop the development of nuclear weapons... Its been predicted by many defense specialists that isreal will attack iranian nuclear plants by april if america dont step in...

[pakithug2nv]

i agree with kidterra....compare the uk to other european countries..like denmark who published the pics...holland where they have bare nazi style extremists who hate anyone that aint dutch....and remember france aswell they had that le pen geeza & the banning of turbans & scarves which affected sikhs/muslims alot.

i dont see the uk doing the same...no uk media has (so far) published a pic like that....the only extremist nazi style party we have is the bnp...n their leaders are on trial evry other week....and u can openly where what you like.

[H.Productions]

RITEEE...........

[kidterra]

all im saying is some parts of europe hate on muslims hardcore, the uk aint 1 of them... Places like holland, some scandanavian countries, belgium etc, i wouldent want 2 b a muslim living there...
