I am being extremely silly.....but you started it | Why is it so outrageous to suggest that those who think that this country should have nukes should bear the burden for the costs of them? Is that not fair? At least there's a democratic choice.

You really would be a ghost then! |

Out of interest, what do you think about the rest of the world being allowed nuclear weapons? Particularly countries from the Middle-East.

"they can have them too............If we have" But what i say to this is who cares, keep our own and stop them anyway, who cares, we dont need to be fair to them. |

| I believe the vast majority of Muslims are sane enough to own nuclear weapons. Maybe not the one's I'm going to stay with next week though, I wouldn't leave them in charge of my Ipod. Only because when I get it back it will be full of Reggae, and while I love Reggae, there's such a thing as too much.
Yes, there is such a thing as Muslim Rastafarians.
Many Muslims probably ask, is the Chistian George Bush sane enough to own nuclear weapons? Yes maybe; intelligent enough? Definately not.

Muslims have had a really bad press since 9/11. I have to say, mainly through work, and also my selected travel destinations. I have met my fair share of Muslims, and the picture the media paints of them is wholly unfair.
I don't expect you to take my word for it of course. But can I suggest you take a trip to a Mosque at some point. Obviously finding one that welcomes visitors would be best. But I implore you to go and meet Muslims on their own grounds (so to speak), relay to them every concern you have about Islam and it's place in the UK, and see what they say.
If you walk away still disliking Muslims, at least you can then say why with authority. But I'm hoping you may find out a lot that will surprise you, and maybe change your perspective.
For all I know you may have already done this. But I hope you realise, that for every extreme Mulism in the UK. There are tenfold more who love and exmbrace this country, and some have even fought and died for this country.
Hope I don't sound too preachy here.

I'm not going to a mosque, its not for me, in the UK to have to visit Mosques, it isnt Mecca here you know
the muslims in the army are less the 200 if you look at the figures. thats not many.
It shouldnt be people having to luck into muslim culture, raising concerns about it, the fact is they clash, its for them to learn, not the mainstream public. |
