Sad but true. > Mario replies: Eugene, First of all, a book may be just the opinion of it's author, not of all Brits, though I am well aware from having lived there that "white" Brits often indiscriminately resent the "Bloody Foreigners", and believe they have good reason to. > However, as an immigrant myself, aren't you putting the cart before the horse? How did "white" Britain create negative consequences for itself by providing large numbers of often hostile immigrants sanctuary in Britain? It seems to me they did the foreigners a huge favor, don't you think? To now be repaid by what? Suicidal bomb attacks, not against the British government or its agencies, but against innocent British civilians (which include "foreigners") and some innocent foreign visitors to Britain. > Besides, why were the Muslims, and many others, disturbed by the UK's joining the US in liberating two Muslim populations in Afghanistan and Iraq, that were both being brutally oppressed by Muslim tyrants and denied any semblance of freedom and democracy, while enjoying the freedom and democracy for themselves in Britain? > I'm sure you are aware that almost all the Muslims in Britain came from Muslim countries that were oppressive dictatorships. One would think they would rejoice in the liberation of their 50 million Muslim brothers in Afghanistan and Iraq, and thank the Brits and Americans for risking their lives on behalf of Muslims in distant lands.
