"I have always held the view that trouble would brew in years to come as governments have bowed down and been to lenient to other cultures living here whilst not giving the same treatment to the long term citizens, I think however the actions of these protestors and the like will bring trouble much sooner."

This illustrates a point I made in my earlier post. For the purposes of my analogy let's assume that you are white, were born in and still live in London and consider yourself to be a "long term citizen".

What distinction is there between you and a muslim of coloured skin exactly the same age as you born, say for example, in Birmingham that makes you a "long term citizen" and him not?

Before any MODs kneejerk and delete this I'd like to state that this is not an attack on the poster who made the original comment, nor am I trying to "start trouble" or "offend" anyone. I just want to know what the definition of a "long term citizen" is and I feel that this is a crucial element of this discussion.
