An insult to decency

Well said Arthur I completely agree with you. For the record, I am not racist and have no problem with muslims, foreigners, non Anglo Saxon, non Celts, martians or anyone else who wants to live here - as long as they accept that Britain has 2000 years of Christian/Western traditions and Christo Judaic Laws. We are not about to change this for a small minority, and if you want to live here you have to live by our laws. If that makes me a racist you'd better get me a white sheet and a burning cross

Have you been to the Midlands in the last 5 years? Leeds or Bradford?
Hardly the minority.
The extremists within this "minority" are the real minority.

I live in Leicester, I am white and I am the minority. That really isn't a problem for me, most of my friends, colleagues and clients are Asian (Indian sub-continent), I have been to India 5 times and know far more about Indian culture than most white people do. My city is a peaceful city where all races and religions get on, and I want to keep it that way. However, extremism will create a divide between the White/Hindu's on one side and the Muslims on the other. If we allow these extremists to continue to preach their hate of the west, divides and cracks will appear all over the country. No one wants that, but I'm sure they didn't want a war in Yugoslavia either

Very true, except that you don't mention the white extremists' racist ideology also.

The politicians around the world need to pull their fingers out before it gets much worse

100% agree. Leicester on the whole is a peaceful place as it derby, nottingham etc (apart from friday and saturday nights obviously!) Its the small minority that are the cause of this unrest bringing up deep seated feelings of anger within the larger communities. It does sicken me that these people regardless of where born act this way whilst here in this country. I know they are angry about the usa and uk (nato generally) have done and I'd be pissed as well. But maybe they need to either think of a better way to log their protest that won't cause so much anger and maybe promote some sympathy from the rest of the population or go back to the country of origin and help there.
