I have jsut read in this morning's paper that there are 37 million Christians in this country and 1.5 million muslims. So why are they not bending over backwards to try not to upset or offend us? Why are the 37 million (plus all the atheists, agnostics and other religions) the ones who have to ensure they don't offend the 1.5 million? It doesn't make sense.

I personally wouldn't set out to offend anyone but if my normal way of life which has been acceptable in this country for hundreds of years offends some people then I suggest they should choose to live elsewhere and let me get on with not offending the rest of society.

But as you say, it isn't the people themselves who are offended, it's some halfwitted beaurocrat who thinks they might be. Thats where the problems are.
