Mr. Boston; i am British as might be obvious from my nom de plume. I see in our newspapers increasing numbers of what are still called “hate crimes” directed at Muslims, or those thought to be so because of their skin colour and facial features. There will be yet more; I estimate that within five years the mosque-burnings will start in earnest – and I will be cheering on the burners.

It is notable that the number of such attacks on African-descended blacks is decreasing; the man on the street in Britain is beginning to realise who the enemy is.

The only problem I see with this is that people who are entirely innocent of Islam’s crimes but who happen to look similar (Hindus and Sikhs, for example) will get caught in the crossfire. I rather like Indians, who are just about all Hindu; I hate Pakistanis with a passion. Also Arabs, but there aren’t many of those here. I really don’t care about blacks one way or the other in general, and I don’t think I’m the only one who shares these views.

The British bulldog hasn’t been put to sleep quite yet.
