          From the article:

          "The Archbishop of York has compared Britain with Uganda under Idi Amin"

          As the old saying goes, there's no fool like a clerical fool.

            It amazes me how articles like this make it out that it is somehow "our" fault (with apologies to those who dont like the use of words like our when speaking about the indiginous population).


            Why should people not suspect and question Islam?
            Why should Muslims be treated the same as they were ten years ago?
            How can we believe Muslims can live in non secular society peacefuly?

            10 years ago thye were not flying planes into buildings, setting bombs off on trains, threatening to behead cartoonists and dancing in the street to celebrate every western death.
            Islam has been put under the microscope and many people are now reading just what it means to be a Muslim (self included) and finding that Islam is an all or nothing religion. Its practitioners are asking for tolerance while preaching intolerance. Demanding rights to things which are not religious imperatives yet claiming not to do certain things that their holy book insists on.

            I am sorry they feel threatened, but they should look to their own before blaming us.
            I am not qualified to give the above advice!
