Like it or not there is a Countrywide rising of intolerance from all sides, someone says that we should stop immigration and send them back to their country of origin etc, then people from the other side of the coin lambast them as racist and little Englanders, with little desire on either side it seems to change their view. This also happens on here every time this post [and similar ones] surface.
Muslim fundamentalists commit terrorist atrocities and people who had no ill feeling toward people of other race or creed suddenly lean to what others may class as racism, sad but true, and fanned by negative press coverage and the seemingly endless stream of young Muslim's facing charges of terrorism I can only see things getting much worse before it gets any better.
I genuinely have no problem with anyone because of their Country of birth or skin colour, what I do have a major problem with is Religion that impacts in a negative way on others, be that Islam or Christianity. Perhaps a way forward would be to not allow any religious dress or paraphernalia to be visibly worn in public, Archbishop of Canterbury take note?
Safe diving,
