The main problem is not Muslim complaining of such things as St. Georges day. Most really could not give a f**k. Obviously there will be a few, who, are more along the extremist line along with terrorists, but they are very few and far between.
No, the real problem with all of this sits on the doorstep of people in power in the UK. There's so much effort and thought put into Political Correctness these days, as most people know who live in the UK, it's gone far beyond common sense, some of the most ridiculous things happen in the name of PC and also Health and Safety.
Ever since the USA got hit on 9/11, and London 7/7, a great deal of attention is paid to what may offend an ethnic group. Now this is all well and good in one sense, but not in another. The sad fact is that far too often, people with the ability to make drastic changes to policy in the UK, do so without bothering to research and actually ask the people who they are trying to protect, in this case, Muslims. Ask most British Muslims about Christmas and if it offends them and their answer will be No, most certainly not. And the same thing applies to all these other things. What needs to happen is both Muslims and White Brits need to stand together and let the Government know what idiots they are sometimes, and what tension is caused amongst certain sections of the white population when they do things like this. I feel sorry for the Muslims, they take shit from people who are just down right racist, and as Dylan say, have never been embraced by quite a lot of White Brits. They take shit for the minority of extremists within their communities and around the world. And to top it off end up taking shit for things that they never asked to be changed in the first place.
The UK really needs a good kick up the backside, the government for adopting it's position, and the people for allowing them to do it, time after time.Alan 07 Apr 2009, 07:33 - Report
