Looks like I opened the biggest can of worms around. I have speed read my way through and find that the posts are refecting peoples opinions with little or no sniping about what people post. Now that is tolerance and how I belive it should be in the wider world.

Willow said "I believe it's perfectly possible to tolerate another person's viewpoint and still strongly maintain your own" As soon as we forget this then it falls into a chasm of hatred and ill will and all because we have become narrow minded. Yes we can be patriotic yes we love are country and flags and footy are part of that. we have saints days so why as a multiculturel society can we not have special days for the other faiths. If the road of banning them because they are in England does that mean that as thee hub of the UK we get rid of Sts. Andrews Davids and Patricks days. This country was multicultural before the West Indian Asian and African immigarations. These peoples countries sent soldiers to die along side of the Brits in wars that were not theirs and yet we kick them at every oportunity after they helped us.

Lets live together and learn because oneday we might need the same people that are being baited. Yes they will have to learn to intigrate but that does not meen they have to give up their core beliefs. Trying to isolate them will give us the same headache the USA had up until the 1960's with the afro american section of their society.
