British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday accused Donald Trump of making it more difficult to defeat Islamic State extremists. Speaking to the US website Mic.Com, the Tory Party leader said the billionaire was making the "fundamental mistake" of trying to blame all Muslims for the violent ideology of a minority while praising Islam as a religion of peace.
Trump, currently leading national polls to be the Republican Party nominee ahead of the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1, sparked international censure in December after he demanded all Muslims be barred from entering the US following the Paris massacre.
The property tycoon also claimed parts of London were "so radicalised" police were "afraid for their own lives." The accusation was quickly denounced by Westminster....

Ok, but it's not just London, what about towns like Bradford?
Oops. LOL. Don’t I look stupid. Well, most here haven’t been, so I had a better than odds chance. LOL. Don’t take it personally, I am just fighting back. The UK gets too much flak here imo, usually from folk who haven’t been here and get ideas of the UK second or third hand. Although I have no problem with legitimate criticism.
You of all folk should know what we think of your own country. LOL. Many Americans/furrners think we are odd/unpatriotic that we slag off the UK so much, not usually understanding that’s just our sense of self-deprecating humour. And we do actually love our country. It stops us from getting too jingoistic. That’s reserved for the football. LOL
I and all the UK/Irish freepers are 100% opposed to the bannings of people like Wilders, Geller etc. The Trump ban btw, never was: only a debate that had to happen. Yes, we share the dislike of of PC touchy feely ‘feelings politics’. So ‘you’ are ‘offended’, so what?. Its life, get over it.
I am glad to chat with and you and please don’t take any poke at you personally, I attack everyone here equally, lol. I usually say to ask me questions on the UK, but in your case that’s would be pointless, given your knowledge and visits to the UK.
There was no problem with Muslims in many of the UK cities, until the late 80s and the Rushdie affair. The pre 1990 racial problems were all black related. As that stopped, the Muslim issue started.
The failed policy of multiculturalism, allied to left wing politics and social policy/brainwashing, means that radical Islam groups went unchecked through the 1990s, lest the charge of racism be shouted back. People think Muslims have been a UK problem, but its really only been in the last 20 years. Its a problem tats solveable. Tne UK is both small and large enough for problems to forment and solutions to work.
Dear Dave: It’s the “religion”, stupid.
BTW, I don’t all Americans are silly, I meant people who have a far too stereotyped view of the UK (and that’s not exclusive to the US): people who really believe all Scots wear kilts and live in castles or all English wear bowler hats and know the Queen.
I’ve been caught out before, you’d think I would learn.
They don't?
I lived there for a decade, you tosser. Am married to a Brit and have family there. Piss off.
So even less excuse for such drivel.
