Either we stick to the issue of Great Britain and its current climate(no pun intended towards global warming), or we start discussing Mao and Hitler. I think the reasons for British suspicion of the Muslim community are obvious, the question is whether that suspicion is turning into ethnic or religious bigotry. I don't live in Great Britain, so I can't speak to that. It certainly hasn't in the U.S., which suffered a worse attack than did Great Britain...worse in terms of loss of life of course.

Ah, my response was to another who asked why it is that it's the Islam and not other religions from whom people are fearful. Although I don't really know why there is fear. The Muslims are people like any other who can be good and kind and bad as any other group of people. Perhaps teaching what the religion really is might be a good start or something to rid this fear.

there are real terrorists out there and they are a threat to muslim and non-muslim alike.
there is also a "war on terror" with its own agenda, which the terrorist muslims serve nicely.
as for the rest of the muslims, they get very little media coverage as far as i know. partially because the just don't make as interesting and spectacular news, fit for television. and partially because they do not serve the prevailing interests.
the problem with anything like this is that it is almost impossible to oppose it without feeding it at the same time. in other words, i don't know the answers as you have probably guessed by now.
