MISS C M Ritchie states "they shelter behind their 'rights'," when "decent honourable morally superior individuals oppose them" ("Sikhs were right", Letters December 27).

Decent, honourable, morally superior individuals? Is that what they call narrow-minded, half-educated, pig-ignorant fascists these days? Surely not.

Smug and holier than thou will suffice nicely.
