I often said to my friends akin and Patrick(whom I've mentioned many times)how much I would love them to visit scotland with me whilst I was down in london, wheeling and a dealing with them. What a mug my home country would have made of me if I ever did.

You are correct redway, the hate in the world is just too much sometimes.

B.I.B.: it is, and the social network/circle I cultivate is open to every different faith or custom under the sun so long as there's enough cultural/interests-related convergence for us to really vibe and be friends. I've interacted and lived with Muslims who I didn't particularly vibe with beyond a certain level because there were just too many things about them (presumably based on a mixture of their upbringing and personality) that annoyed me but that was nothing to do with them being Muslim. On the other extreme throwing aside an established friendship that's lasted years just because someone's "turned over to the Islamic side" or defends a religious group which triggers bad memories for you just isn't worth it. If we only interacted with each-other based on only having positive experiences with that particular group/demographic as a conglomerate everyone would hate each-other (including me), because we've probably all had good and bad experiences with people from all these faiths and backgrounds and for different reasons. You don't just cut someone off or start acting funny with them all-of-a-sudden just because their faith doesn't correspond with yours or they don't hate who you hate because of your personal experiences. That's not much different from racism.
