Neither did most of the muslims who did or did not march on that day. You cant have your cake and eat it too btw. Which brings us to...

But it's very recent history m8, the difference is that the terrorists paymasters and organizers and future recruits are still alive....
Well it probably wasn't the victims of the many past and future muslim terrorist bombers.....
...and I think I'll leave it to Xaccers to remove your rose tinted glasses with his history lesson about slavery.....

Not all muslims are terrorists, the march wasnt about pro terrorism either, it was about other issues, mainly how others perceive them to be terrorists.
So if you wish to perceive them as them being so, then I can perceive you as an english subject being a slaver, football holligan, lager lout, unemployable, and lots more. Not fair huh to be named all those.
Whats good for the goose...
Unfortunately these days you have extremist groups, not only one one side but on both.
You have your radical and religious groups on one side, and you have your old fashioned we are the superior race and bigosts on the other.
Xaccers: Yes there was slave trading way back since man could walk, but the example I was giving was 18/19th century history, and at that time the Dutch at the end of the 18th were the power in Slaves. So much so that their influence still lingered in South Africa for centuries.
My point about the english slavers was this, I dont see the reason why people whose own historical background was of such a manner should stand on a soap box and complain of another race of people who are protesting about things.
Why because slavery was abolished in England just under a century ago, does that make the English better? Or can say and do what they like against other races? No. ((for your Info the Scottish did not have a Slave Trade))
That is why the world is in such a state as it is, instead of people treating others as equals they are looked upon as inferior, due to their religions, their color, their education and so forth.
SMG: I may have a British Passport, but I am a Scottish Citizen and this is where I was born, if I choose to be called Scottish then that is my choice, as is if I were to wish to be called British then I shall.
But Id rather be called a Scottish Citizen than British, thanks all the same
