Difficult issue

Great admiration for Alex Salmond in his attempt to deal with "offensive behaviour" at Scottish football matches. It might seem a simple matter, but the problem is that in many cases the underlying cause has little to do with football rivalry and everything to do with religious bigotry, and therefore any attempt to deal with it could be seen as the repression of religious expression.  But at least he's had the guts to grasp the nettle.
