The English did not get to be the largest empire in the world some time ago without telling each side what they wanted to hearand then playing them off against each other in order to get Her Majesties way...over and over and over...They very definitely get their way by not making decisions ,they know a lot about how law works and it is easy for them to get everybody to help them out when they have bitten off more than they can chew....but then they are our cousins and we should give them a break....

Uhh, you mean like the double standards here in the U.S.?
Like the thing with John Conyers wife that would get any white prosecuted or at the very least persecuted all over the media for hate speech?
There is, was, and always will be a massive double standard on so-called "hate" speech from the left as a means of silencing anyone who does not agree with globalist multiculturalism. Heck, anyone who thinks that we should protect our own borders (as though we were a nation or something) and deport criminals is reviled as a nazi/fascist/racist who is clearly "uneducated", "stuck in the past", etc...
They learned those tactics from watching the left in the U.S. shut down anyone who disagrees with them.
Fear the wrath of the "tolerant"...

Political Correctness has run amok in England (yea, and everywhere else - witness global warming hysteria and the religion of Environmentalism).
Michael, you're like Kevin McCarthy in "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers", running through the streets screaming. "They're here and you're next!"
The swaying, droning, zombied eyed, Obamatrons aren't listening - They're just spreading around the world. Better check under your bed for a pod.

As with all religious some parts are romantacied to attract followers.But muslims do have a historey of being more brutal in there treatment of there own poeple and cry foul any time a journalist points it out.There fatwa just seems like a hatefull way to a peacefull society.
