The leaflet calls for a process of 'naming and shaming' Muslims for 'positive effect' on the drugs trade which it claims originates in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The leaflet urges people to 'heap condemnation' on Muslims and for Muslims to 'apologise' for their part in the trade. The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) has complained against a Crown Prosecution Service decision to not prosecute the distributor. The CPS claims that while the leaflet is racist, there is not sufficient evidence of stirring up racial and religious hatred and therefore, no offence has been committed.
