I can. the Brits are rotten to the core - spineless.

Must be a new breed - the ones I know here in the states are confident and proud of their heritage. Really sad to see them capitulate so easily.

"It is a good thing, it is a tolerance and acceptance of their beliefs and understanding," he said.

We must tolerate their beliefs, but they don't have to tolerate ours... Now I understand. (/sarcasm)

You just don't understand multiculturalism.

You see the english culture is tolerant, the muslim culture is not. Under multiculturalism that is perfectly fine. Not only that, but you, the tolerant one, cannot force the non-tolerant one to be tolerant. To do so would make you a cultural imperialist pig, increasing their intolerance even more, given their feelings toward hogs. But that's OK because that is their culture.

I hope this helps...
