St. George.
It was interesting to see that students at Saltley Academy in Birmingham are beingencouraged to follow the tenets of Saint George (The ‘Trojan horse’ school opening pupils’
eyes to the brutal realities of Islamic State, 13 July). I hope it is pointed out that Saint George
was probably born in Turkey and that his mother was Palestinian. They should also know that
as well as being England’s patron saint he is revered by Muslims and Christians in Palestine,
and is the patron saint of many other European countries. He is indeed a multicultural hero.
