the Angles, the Celts, the Saxons - who hated each other
or from their hate of the Romans, the Vikings, the Normans ??
Then there are the wars with the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Germans, the Italians, the Japanese, the Indian Princes..........
or is it just a myth put about by fluffy bunnies to justify why they spend all day tutting and hitting people with pointy fingers before going home to the partner, the 2.5 kids in a peaceful suburban area with a neat detached house having a couple of SUV's parked outside.
The same people who always mix with their own, attend church meetings, and have nothing to do with "foreign" people and their religion unless forced to do so during the the fluffy bunny work day.
no, you are right - the UK is made up of tolerant reasonable people, unless they are foreigners, the same foreigners who make up the BNP and UKIP and other such organisations trying to make good hones Brits look racist.

Thanks for the advice. I find it quite fun to argue (on a boring day, and as a retiree).
Had plenty of practice since I accidently discovered the Goa expat Forum. (Our home south of Goa in Karnataka).
On there, some even complain about too many Indian tourists on Indian beaches.
Although the degree of rudeness one to another on here makes them seem quite tame

Also the usual lack of knowledge ("most 'Indians' you know not overfond of Muslims"----- about 15% of Indians are Muslims one of the largest populations by numbers!!).
No need to be "closet" you are or you are not. We are not.

I am sure you would claim to know more about Spain and the Spanish than people like myself who only visit there.
For example, I said, 1 billion population, not "billion(s)".

For someone who never tires of telling people how misguided they are you don't seem to be very understanding of peoples posts. Firstly J2 is playing around with Bipat's nick, secondly she is querying why Bipat is defending Muslims given that she is married to an Indian who is apparently Hindu and she finds that a bit strange given the communal violence that goes on in India between those two communities (10,000 deaths in communal violence since 1950) that Bipat is defending Muslims hence the 'closet muslim' comment.
Oh and its pretty evident who she is talking to as she starts off her post with the pun on Bipat's name
What puzzles me is how come some liberals (i.e You) are unable to understand that some people dislike Islam quite strongly (my case) and don't think they are all extremists oh and don't need to read the Daily Wail for negative reports on Muslim issues.
I've said it before I would be quite happy if we banned ALL religions as they have been (and still are) the biggest contributors to many of Humankind's problems.
