English: Can I also join in the condemnation about this despicable hate mail? It was clearly designed to stoke fear in the Muslim community and, to some extent, I'm afraid it has been successful in that, and I think it's absolutely right that we stand shoulder to shoulder with Muslims here in Wales and across the UK in demonstrating our love and care for them in their communities. We've got to be able to overcome the prejudice and hate, and it's wonderful that we have an ambassador for the Muslim community here in the Assembly in Mohammad Asghar, who is passionate about these issues. You referred earlier on, leader of the house, to religious education in our schools, and the role of our schools in helping to educate the next generation about the merits of tolerance and respect here in society. One of the things that has been raised in this Chamber in the past is a concern about the new curriculum reforms that are taking place in Wales and the status that religious education might have within the new curriculum in order that it can actually help to deliver these appropriate messages within our schools. So, I wonder to what extent you've discussed the risks that the current consideration of the new curriculum might have to ensuring that some of the good work that's already taking place in our schools isn't diminished by the changes and that it's actually enhanced. Can I put on record as well that I had a very good friend, a Christian friend, who I used to work for, and he used to have this mantra that Islam should spell for everybody, 'I sincerely love all Muslims' - the letters of Islam? I think that we would do well to listen to his call to love all of our neighbours, regardless of their faith. For me, I think that the best that we can all do in this Chamber is, yes, to join in the condemnation, but also to take some positive action to love those Muslims in our community, to recognise the tremendous contribution that Muslim congregations in their mosques make, as well, to society in Wales at large, and to use this hate mail as an opportunity for good, so that we can help to recognise their achievements.
Welsh: A gaf fi hefyd ymuno â chi a chondemnio'r llythyrau casineb ffiaidd hyn? Mae'n amlwg eu bod wedi cael eu llunio i godi ofn ar y gymuned Fwslimaidd ac i ryw raddau, mae arnaf ofn eu bod wedi bod yn llwyddiannus yn hynny o beth, ac rwy'n cytuno y dylem sefyll ochr yn ochr â Mwslimiaid yma yng Nghymru a ledled y DU a dangos ein cariad a'n gofal drostynt yn eu cymunedau. Mae'n rhaid i ni allu goresgyn y rhagfarn a'r casineb, ac mae'n wych fod gennym lysgennad dros y gymuned Fwslimaidd yma yn y Cynulliad ym Mohammad Asghar, sy'n teimlo'n angerddol am y materion hyn. Fe gyfeirioch chi'n gynharach, arweinydd y tŷ, at addysg grefyddol yn ein hysgolion, a rôl ein hysgolion yn helpu i addysgu'r genhedlaeth nesaf ynglŷn â rhinweddau goddefgarwch a pharch mewn cymdeithas. Un o'r pethau a nodwyd yn y Siambr yn y gorffennol yw pryder am y diwygiadau i'r cwricwlwm newydd sy'n digwydd yng Nghymru a'r statws a allai fod i addysg grefyddol yn y cwricwlwm newydd er mwyn iddi allu helpu i gyflwyno'r negeseuon priodol hyn yn ein hysgolion. Felly, tybed i ba raddau rydych wedi trafod y risgiau a allai godi wrth ystyried y cwricwlwm newydd ar hyn o bryd o ran sicrhau nad yw'r gwaith da sydd eisoes yn digwydd yn ein hysgolion yn cael ei leihau gan y newidiadau a'i fod yn cael ei wella mewn gwirionedd. A gaf fi hefyd gofnodi fod gennyf ffrind da iawn, ffrind Cristnogol, yr oeddwn yn arfer gweithio iddo, ac roedd ganddo'r mantra hwn y dylai Islam sillafu 'I sincerely love all Muslims' i bawb - llythyrennau Islam? Credaf y byddai'n werth inni wrando ar ei alwad i garu pob un o'n cymdogion, ni waeth beth yw eu ffydd. I mi, credaf mai'r peth gorau y gallwn oll ei wneud yn y Siambr hon yw, ie, ymuno yn y condemniad, ond rhoi camau cadarnhaol ar waith hefyd i garu'r Mwslimiaid sydd yn ein cymunedau, cydnabod y cyfraniad aruthrol y mae cynulleidfaoedd Mwslimaidd yn eu mosgiau yn ei wneud hefyd i'r gymdeithas yng Nghymru yn gyffredinol, a defnyddio'r llythyrau casineb hyn fel cyfle i wneud lles, fel y gallwn helpu i gydnabod eu cyflawniadau.
