In fact it's the local Muslim neighbours who are taking care of my OP sister and brother-in-law by chasing off the local yobs and would be car thieves and helping to repair any vandalism in the area.The street is a mixture of differing ethnic groupings who all know each other and support each other...

yes maggie,as i stated i also know and have done work for lots of really pleasant muslims whom i have alot of respect for as people.One particular muslim i worked for for 5 years .He came to this country in 1962 and started selling ties door to door now he is or was(not sure if he retired) one of the biggest private landlords to students in the west end .He is deeply religious and went to mosque every friday afternoon but would never condone the actions of some of the modern hard line muslims in the area
i should mention that if my previous post gave the appearance that newcastles's muslim community is hardline activists they are not i simply quoted a few personal negative examples for chris's benifit
