This chap Bennett sounds like a liability. Is he seriously an aide to Kilroy-Silk? Does he have any sort of official standing in the party? I think we should disown him.
My understanding was that UKIP is a party devoted to getting us out of the European Union. If Bennett or others want to start campaigning to convert Muslims to Christianity, then (a) they are going the wrong way about it and (b) they should channel their efforts through some sort of missionary organisation, not through a political party.
We're not a Christian political party, we're a British political party, and British people belong to a wide variety of religions. I know for a fact that UKIP contains Christians, Jews, Humanists and Muslims. I've no doubt it contains members of most other religions as well. If anybody wants to pontificate about the relative merits of those different religions, they should do so on their own time, and make very, very clear that they are not speaking for UKIP.
