Given the minority is always suggested ( as was on TV last night Monday) that they are being ostracised, why do we also feel threatened by this word Muslim?
when other religions protest, why do we not see words like
" Behead them" or "Kill the infidel" on their placards, why ? why?
A hate we have never seen before apart from in Muslim countries, is now upon us.
"The Vail!" I find this most distressing, as do many of my friends, they are seperating themselves from facial recognition on their own terms, and we cannot or must not object.
I have every respect for those who come into this country and settle within our laws.
We have freedom of speach, or do we?, this is not so these days, to speak out even in jest could surmount to one's execution.
This is very sad indeed, a sad day for a people who have fought for this freedom.
I judge this in it's context, and to feel threatened by a single word, is almost beyond comprehention.
Sad indeed, very sad.
