Yet another well articulated response! I sometimes think the Orwellian or Huxley vision of the "Brave New World" and "1984" is already upon us with the proposed new laws against "incitement to religious hatred" that will soon be on our statute books in the UK and the inordinate amount of public money spent on "diversity training" and "sensitivity awareness" where people are taught to interract in a manner that suits their political masters, all funded from the public purse and mainly to suit the Muslim cause. A Nottingham chief constable has proposed (also funded through public taxes) that his officers wear green ribbons to show their solidarity with the Muslim community in the wake of the London bombings! We live in a surreal world!
