im going to say that that mindset is far more prevelant with the islamic faith.
Christians will say quite happily that they are british or american but all to often i see muslims here who will say that theyr alligance lies with whatever country their grandparents or whoever from their family origionally came here came from. Even though they are born and raised in this country.
Its not a good state of affairs.

It's also been made clear by various members of the boards that they feel the same way about religious extremism in any form is a serious issue. If it were Christian zealots doing this over a perceived insult to Jesus, or Scientlogists trying it over someone making fun of L. Ron Hubbard, you'd see exactly the same set of responses.
Regarding the picture; I would have thought it was way too ridiculous to offend anyone, but as this story shows, some people are determined to be offended by anything... |
Its funny that the people responsible for creating 'Islamophobia' are the people who are so quick to complain about it.
All they are doing is making the world hate their religion and see them as troublemakers with massive chips on their shoulders about everything.
