Splain me how we are a bunch of knuckledragging fundamentalist idiots according to the British Press but the Muslims are not.

Yes you get some elements of the press yank bashing, but we also have a raft of stories in the paper and on TV attacking Muslim Fundamentalists.

I have also seen some good factual programs on Middle America, that show them as ordinary decent people who are no different to the rest of us.

Hell on this very site you have American freepers pouring out the same anti Brits stuff, and its no different to the anti brit stuff I remember from the 80s when serving in North Ireland.

You may get anti American articles but at least you don’t have people going round British bars collecting money to finance terrorists, like you Americans did with the IRA in the 70s, 80s and even the 90s.

And one stage the IRA was almost completely American financed.
