'One in 6 Londoners avoid Muslims on buses, trains'
2006-09-06
One in six people in London have admitted moving seats on public transport to avoid a passenger they think is Muslim, according to a survey published on Tuesday. Around 35 percent of travellers in London said they had felt nervous or uncomfortable in the last year because of someone with a south Asian or north African appearance on an underground train or bus. Of that number, nearly half said they had moved seats or sat down away from them, the survey, by pollsters YouGov for London's Evening Standard newspaper, suggested.
That could actually be the deodorant thing, though...

Maybe I shouldn't have brought that up.

I think things will only get better when a significant percentage of people are not avoiding Muslims but, instead, confronting them. Not physically, perhaps, but definitely questioning them out loud as to why their faith breeds up the vast majority of this world's terrorist atrocities and so forth.

So long as Muslims remain in almost total denial regarding the impact of their abominable religion, they need to be faced with having such pointed inquiries directed at them on a daily basis. Little questions like, "Why is Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' so popular in Muslim countries?", and the like.

#3  The root cause of this differential treatment is: the presense of Muslim primitives in Western Civilization. If they don't get the hell out, then impatient lads might resort to terror. Not that I am making an oblique threat, or something like that. If you disagree, then you are a Kafirphobe and I will have to report you to the Council of American Kafir Relations (CAKR).
