A report to the UK Parliament by the Wildlife and Countryside Link claims that 'racist colonial legacies' influence the British countryside, creating barriers for ethnic minorities in accessing green spaces. The report advocates a 'rights-based approach' to accessing these spaces and links Britain's role in the colonial project to current environmental crises. The British countryside, often considered a serene escape and a symbol of national heritage, is under scrutiny.

Today it has become imperative for the West to remember the Crusades more than the World War II. A reinvented Fascism and Nazism are unlikely to present a threat to West; but radical Islam is almost sure to do that. From 9/11 and London explosions to recent New Delhi triple...
