YOu know its interesting how differently i see things from Sun on this. I find it amazing since 9/11 how well americans have reacted to muslim folks. Terror in britain and spain had home grown terror from pakistanis and north africans respectively who sort of form an underclass in both nations. In GB case it might partially from a history of racism by some brit soccer fan/skinhead types when immigration first began. We have little of that here. We are a very tolerant people these days to our credit and opportunities are largely based on merit and minorities dont have that distance from society that they have elsewhere. Also we kick out imans who preach violence and hatred. How stupid were the brits--large immigration, discrimination but free speech beyond the limits of self protection. Mike
