Five Things I Learned This Weekend
1. When you have cut your toe, you will drop something on it or someone will stand on it at least once a day.
2. If I hold a baby for long enough, eventually a stranger will walk up to me and say: “Is that your baby?”
3. “Comedy” answers to this question are not funny.
4. You don’t have to take Linda McCartney Country Slices out of the cardboard box before you cook them.

5. British Muslims - you all don’t need disclaimers. This land, this life, is yours. If you’re cool, we dig you. That’s how it works. Good isn’t it?

Mmm. Haven’t tried them but now I know I can weld them to cardboard, I’ll be first in the queue.

American muslims are starting with the disclaimers as well. Sort of sad really as most are great people and love the country much more than where ever they have immigrated from.
I wonder what will happen here WHEN we are attacked, and I think it is overdue.

That’s a good point. Some Mulsims are great people, but it’s important to remember that some are idiots - just like the rest of us. All Londoners aren’t brave - some are terrified. My point is, we’re all different.
See, the danger arises when you start catagorising any religion as a “nation”. It’s separatist and that mentality feeds the hatred of a marginalised radical fringe. So next time we go to war in a country that happens to be of a religious persuasion, the compartmentalised followers of that religion get very jumpy.
In my view, I don’t care who you are or what you believe. I’m glad you’ve found a purpose, it’s no big deal to me. If you do the right things than I’m proud to call you a neighbour and I will defend you against those who do wrong.
