are not of course devout Muslims, but they use the very worse aspects of sharia in a pathetic attempt to self-justify their atrocious actions.

Andres, what day do you do your shopping in Burnley? I only ask because i have never seen 'gangs of Asian youths' in Burnley centre when i have been shopping. I am assuming the hospital you refer to is the Blackburn Royal? I have to agree with you but, to be fair, that hospital has to cater for nearly all those areas you mentioned earlier, all of which no longer have an A&E dept. And who else would you expect to find owning takeaways that specialise in Pakistani food? And at least 3 of the shops/stores in Burnley are owned by Indians who are Catholics - all have been customers of mine.
Khandro, //are not of course devout Muslims, but they use the very worse aspects of sharia in a pathetic attempt to self-justify their atrocious actions. //
You have no idea how devout they are, but they don't use Sharia to justify their atrocious actions - they do better than that. They use the Koran. Posts like yours serve only to obscure the truth.

//Well some are still making us pay for our part in Black slavery.//
I played no part in black slavery. My father played no part in it (he was too busy avoiding being killed in the North Atlantic to take any slaves) and neither did his father (he was somewhat preoccupied scraping some money together to keep his family fed and clothed in the Depression). That's about as far back as I need to go.

The answer depends on whether or not, as I pointed out earlier, you are willing to band an entire section of the world's population together because of extremists in their faith.
Some believe that the Koran encourages the antihalation of non-believers, but that could apply to any religious tract, the Bible included.
All it needs is for one or more psychopaths to use their faith to hang their murderous intentions on, because then they can convince themselves that they are killing for their 'cause and faith', as opposed to the reality, which is that they happen to like killing people, and make themselves feel better with a vacuous 'reason' to carry on doing it.
Sadly, Islamic terrorism attracts massive publicity, and the media thrives on fear and mistrust.
But to answer the OP specifically, we have no right to show hatred fear and prejudice against the Islamic religion.
Such attitudes are borne of all the unpleasant aspects of humanity's psyche, fear of the unknown, disrespect for other faiths built on a human tendency towards national and ethnic superiority, and media flame-fanning, all of which creates a toxic atmosphere of hatred and paranoia.
But consider this - if you want to brand an entire faith as keen to destroy your own way of life, and regard all its followers as beneath you, and that you would prefer the planet if they were eradicated from it - then you are thinking like an Islamic terrorist - and who on earth would ever want to do that?

whilst working years ago i had no problem with Muslims, Hindu's and the like we all got along reasonably well, but now with all the terror incidents that have occurred in my home town, and the mass of immigration that has come with it, i don't care for it at all. I try and be as reasonable as possible but the Burkha, Niqab makes me feel uneasy, and so many young women and even children wear it now, where once it was a rare occurrence.
I don't travel very much because of ill health, but the few times i have travelled on the tube my heart drops through the floor, especially as the bombings that occurred happened almost on my doorstep.

Totally agree Emmie, colour does not come into it. I would be just as dubious knowing a white group of people where Muslims. They seem to take their religion much more seriously than most and can get radicalised at the drop of a hat.
Did anyone see the interview on the News last night? A reporter in a Syrian refugee camp and the total contempt they had for him? One boy could not have been more than 10 told the reporter to 'repent of his Sins' and he personally was going to 'Slaughter you all'.
We don't want those sorts over here do we?
