Vilified for telling the truth: The Christian GP whose life was made hell after he questioned the legalise drugs campaign

Doctor was victimised on internet after criticising standpoint championed by Richard Branson this week
He was dismissed from Government advisory role before one meeting

Dr Hans-Christian Raabe is a man of gentle demeanour and firm principle who cares deeply about his patients in the deprived area of Manchester where he works as a GP. Indeed, he chose to serve a community where unemployment is high, drug problems endemic and gang warfare rife because he wanted to make a difference.

Incredibly, Dr Raabe was also criticised for being a Christian. He was stunned: ‘I was called a bigot, scum and a mad ba****d. I was accused of being a waste of space and of having no qualification to talk about substance abuse.

‘All I’d done was to offer a day or more of my time every week for three years to help improve the drug problem in the UK, and I was subjected to a vile stream of abuse and defamation. The Home Office caved in to pressure from the politically correct brigade. I believe it was spineless of them.

‘When they revoked my appointment I was not given a chance to refute any of the allegations against me. I began to feel as if I was living in a totalitarian regime — in Stalinist Russia or Ahmadinejad’s Iran — not in Britain in 2011.’

Hmmm. Looks like they rigged the reader comments today. The "think of the children!" anti-drug comments are getting the highest ratings which is not normally how it pans out.
 
Why do they feel the need to mention hes a christian? It doesn't effect ANYTHING.

I Really hate it when people do that. Your religious beliefs are yours & yours alone. They don't make you better than anybody, or more qualified to do anything.

And it's not something you can hide behind when your views are as simple as.
namely that legalising drugs merely normalises their usage, and that we should instead try to create a drug-free society by focusing on drug prevention.

Just wanna throw this quote in there too.

His opponents exhumed an academic report he co‑authored in 2005, while he was living in Canada, linking homosexuality to paedophilia.
