Sentamu Urges Muslims to 'Love Thy Neighbour'

The Archbishop of York urged Muslims yesterday to 'love thy neighbour' and learn to live with those they believe feel hostility towards them.

Dr John Sentamu said that like others who speak out on the subject, he risked being accused of Islamophobia.

He said: "My plea to all Muslims in this country is the words of Jesus Christ, who to you is a prophet and to me a saviour." The archbishop then quoted the Gospel of Matthew: "You have heard that it was said, you shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.

"I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. If you love those who love you, what reward do you have?"
