I don't often talk about my religion, or try to push on people as I believe the relationship with God is very personal. But seeing what Robinson has posted makes me want to speak about it. Luton is one of the most multicultural towns in the UK. We're buzzing with a vibrant community enshrined in uplifting every Lutonian to celebrate their beliefs in a positive manner. The reason why you've not seen any of this racist nonsense coming from our town is simple. Everyone in Luton has a friend or family member that comes from a different faith/cultural background to themselves. Last night I had a great back and forth with @AimeeJae_xo with us giving each other praises and blessings. Aimee is a prominent Muslim in Luton and is deeply devoted to her faith, and I love her for that. When we speak about religion we don't talk about what divides us. Rather we speak about what unites us. Tommy you'll never divide this community no matter how hard you try. You may have riled up other people around the country since you came around. But the people of Luton you'll never touch. That's why I'm proud to be from this town, we are an example of why you can't stereotype a group of people. Here in Luton we don't see colour or faith as an obstacle to getting to know someone. Instead we see it as an opportunity to learn about each other and foster a strong commitment to making our town better for all. Thank you @Taj_Ali1 for continuing to spread that message too. Your voice is so powerful in this conversation. I can say from knowing you personally that you're a man of the people. We love you Taj!
