just out of interest
how much time did you spend in Ireland in the 70's or muslim areas in the last 10 years?

Personal experience suggests to me that you're talking utter shite. Seeing as how, oooh, just off the bat, 99.9999% of Muslims aren't western-hating terrorists in the same way that that a similar percentage of the Irish aren't IRA. Or do they carry pigs under their arms. Except that Dr Preference, obviously...

me in ireland not at all.. just family annecdotes (also see bits of wales)
but muslim countries a tonne.. and i'm not saying they're terrorists they just are rightly pissed off and act accordingly
most yanks you meet over there usually use a canadian flag

It's never caused me or any of my friends a second's problem
I suspect it's just "acting like a twat" rather than being British that is the issue.

Which explains why Meerkans get in trouble, really.
