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
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.
