LETTER TO THE EDITOR


Dear Sir,

INSULT TO ISLAM

Having not been in Fountainbridge for some years, I was astounded to see that the Mecca Bingo Hall was still in business. In our multi-cultural city, how on earth can such an insensitive snub to our Islamic brothers and sisters be tolerated?

Whilst this social club may be a place of pilgrimage and pious aspiration for those who play bingo, the regrettable misuse of the word "Mecca" belittles its importance in the eyes of many of Edinburgh's citizens.

Sincerely,


John Eoin Douglas
