I am perceived as racist by some on here, but I KNOW I am not, my family KNOW I am not, and my friends KNOW I am not, and those friends include a 28 year long friend of mine, Haleem and his beautiful wife and family - all Muslims - who I will be having dinner with this evening at his lovely home in Huddersfield. We may even visit the Hanfia Masjid mosque on Bentley Street, which I have done work on, to see another friend.
Might surprise some people.

..I don't see racist, Kirk when these topics are discussed..(I don't think that you're 'right' either as Arista says and because your thoughts fall more with his thoughts..)...I think it's often just completely opposing opinions and maybe sometimes a failing to understand each perspective so frustrations with that..but whatever the perspective, each has their own validity and reasoning for those opinions...as with most things in life, I think..there is no right, there is no wrong, there is no black, there is no white and it's a bit of this and a bit of that...yes, we have to all be vigilant and aware of the world around us and of people who mean is great harm...but we must be careful also I think to not let our 'fears' etc, rule our humanity and who we are, otherwise terrorism has won, we are lost etc/if that makes sense...we must not create 'victims' with our fear and help terrorism on it's way...

..yeah, I do imagine that comments are removed from all media stories, Arista and not just from this one... but I meant more that if these ones left there are deemed to be ok to leave, then the ones removed must have been pretty awful because the ones left are also pretty awful and racist...
