Insulting Tone

Dear Susan,

A civilised way of expressing your views and initiating a constructive debate is not by insulting and dehumanising those you seek to engage. Your term 'breeding' and your inference of the entire Muslim World as being uncivilised is surely not a good starting point. One wonders why you 'cannot penetrate the muslim brain'.

Your reference to changes in demography highlights your fears, unfortunately I am unable to address your personal fears and doubt if any rational arguments will assist.

Your comments would be unacceptable had they been about any other race or religion.
