How come the Muslim girl in the local shop will serve me with my pork pie and cans of Guinness with her usual friendly smile? How come the Muslim family who live a few doors down will send us a Christmas card in a few months time?

Still, what do I know? If the newspapers say Muslims are making special demands, it must be true!

In day to day life I see much the same as you, no “takeover bids” no imposing of will.

I have seen the “racist card” played by a few in the work place by the more unscrupulous when thing did not go their way ( taking their turn on a bad job ), seen it more than once so assume it happens fairly frequently. The “sexist card “ came out a few times too, when a particular lesbian didn’t get her own way. Very tacky and undermines the real issues some people have. Seems to be a growing thing, just like the compensation culture.
