    Christians and Jews are People of the Book, according to the Koran we all follow the same God.

    Ultimately Islamic extremists do not bother me. Non-Europeans still make up less than 10% of the population by quite a way. Until they hold a majoriety they aren't a threat to me. What worries me more is the extreme Christian-nationalistic backlash some Muslims are creating in Europe. I came to the conclusion that there would be a religious war a few years ago, by the time the Danish Cartoons thing happened I'd knocked ten years of my count-down.

    The problem with many Muslims in Europe is that they are clearly Muslims before they are anything else. This offends the European sensability which says your nation comes before your religion. Added to that there is an obvious culture clash, which clearly is religious.

    At my University you can tell the Middle Eastern Christians from the Muslims because you can communicate with them.

    In England we have a saying, "Don't talk about politics, religion or football."

    In Britian Muslims kick up a huge fuss about the first two and the rest of us don't like it.

    ...Because it takes away the the focus from arguments on the third?
