There is no rules that says a country must have just one religion or faith. There is room for all, including atheism.

I said "it could easily be argued", didn't say it was fact.
I can't say everything at once Russ, I'm trying to keep these posts as short as I can
FWIW, I'm well versed with history, its one of my favorite subjects, and yes I know the Romans would systematically destroy indigenous shrines and replace them with their own.

I never said there could be no room for other faiths. But if you think I "haven't got a clue" on the basis of what I had said, and assuming you still think I'm someone else mascarading as Sparkle, perhaps I'll give this thread a miss for a while.

So given the rise of Islam in the UK, you have no objections to a Muslim taking the same view?

I assumed you meant Muslims coming in and making this a stricly Islamic country (possibly involving restrictions placed upon or elimination of other faiths)

Not to be crude, but I think a closer examination of history will reveal that the Romans burned pagans, destroyed their places of worship - LONG before Christians came along.
