Yes, but that is not *ALL* I have said.
Let me quote from my message #107:
"I suggest you look at my comments where I point out that it should be up to the *Muslim Community* to sort this problem out for themselves, rather than trying to force a "solution" (which is acceptable to us) on to them, because that will only *increase* the resentment against the West."
Yes, we should let the Muslims deal with their problems, no, we should not try to *force* a solution upon them, but there is *nothing* in there that a "reasonably intelligent" person could or should interpret as saying "do nothing and hope that it all goes way in time".
That is the sort of spin that a politician would add to someone else's comments.
