Even though you are an educated woman who has been around the block a few times, who knows the value of diversity and knows that you can't lump everyone under a single label....you just did.
I'd argue that it's an emotive subject and sometimes our emotions get in the way of reason....

It only takes one Muslim jihadist with the desire to inflict harm, and a bomb strapped to his chest to make a mark.....to kill people they have lived and worked amongst.
As for the Christian extremists......well when did you last hear of one of them blowing up a building full of people(Ireland doesn count).
Yes I have been around the block a few times, yes I do have experience of life.....educated? Well, not as much as I would like to be, but I am working on that.
As for being able to see the values of diversity....perhaps I was once.....that was when people seemed to be much more tolerant and less of a threat.
Now I think that the price of diversity might not be worth the effort.......and this is purely my own view, based on what I can see in my daily life.
I have said many times, I have nothing against those who come here to make a better life for themselves.....those who wish to contribute to the fabric of 'Britain in a positive way are welcome.
What we do not need are those incomers who want to make Britain into a satellite of their home nation.....those who do not integrate, those who do not learn the language spoken here.
If you cannot speak the language then you cannot integrate.
During my time in the NHS I came across women who had been in this country for two decades.....and more.....they spoke no English.
So thank you for giving me the soft rebuke, but it is not necessary.
These are my own opinions and I am keeping them until I can see that things have changed....when that happens my opinions will be adjusted accordingly.
