I am outraged that an anonymous correspondent is granted space to peddle their anti/Muslim views in the Surrey Comet letters page.
'Name and address supplied' ('Some facts' September 19) has, for the second time in three weeks, hidden behind a veil of anonimity in response to well-argued letters from Rosemary Addington who has written to express her opposition to the Israeli Government's recent assault on the population of Gaza.
While her letters have stuck to the specific issue backed up by facts, ‘name and address supplied’ has resorted to a wide- ranging diatribe against all things Muslim and Arabic.
People are entitled to their views but it is cowardly to promulgate deliberately inflammatory ones while concealing their identity.
I hope the Surrey Comet will consider carefully how it treats requests for anonymity in future.
By the way, the views expressed by Ms Addington have been echoed by many nations around the globe, by the UN, by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu, and by Jewish survivors of the Nazi deathcamps.
Perfectly happy to sign my name.
