I make no apologies for the way you have interpreted what I said, I think it is down to you to make the apologies.

Muslims are not a different species but they do follow a religion and mind set that is alien to most of us.

Would you wish us to move from our side of the planet so as to interfere in a conflict (for example if it ever happened) between North Korea and China?

1) There are over 2.5 million Muslims here in the UK.
2) We are not subjected to Muslim terrorist atrocities every day here in the UK.

Given the numbers, even a fool must realise that most Muslims here in the UK are not terrorists. I would suggest that the fewer we want to become terrorists, the less foolishly and more rationally we approach the situation ...
