#1 "It also appears that Islamophobia, Western foreign policy and human rights abuses of Muslims are contributing substantially to the alienation of UK Muslims... "

I am truly stunned. *Sniffles* Profound empathy.

Perhaps the failure as well as unwillingness of largely Pakistani Muslims of rural backgrounds to assimilate to their "adopted" homeland explains the problems they face more so than paranoid persecution delusions.

#2 yeah, yeah. Muslims blame someone. The sun rose in the East. That's news?

#3 The British are exactly the same way about violent criminals. Call it "violentcriminalophobia", in which when confronted by a violent criminal armed with a weapon, they irrationally want to attack the violent criminal back, though the authorities strongly discourage them from doing so, and even prosecute them for their anti-social defensive behavior.

After all, it is oppressive to the culture of violent criminals to ask them to quit behaving as their beliefs demand of them and try to integrate into society.

#4 The research found that 40% of Muslims blamed anti-Islamic feelings on the media

OK, I'll bite. What do the other 60% of Muslims blame anti-Islamic feelings on? I *hate* these moronic statistical sleight-of-hand articles.

#5 In a strange way the muzzies are correct. The media has contributed to islamophobia, just not in the way muzzies think it has. Merely by reading sites like RB, LGF, MEMRI, JW/DW on the internet (a form of media) et al since Sept., 2001, sites which report objectively on muzzie activity/actions and muzzie speech/ideology ( in the muzzie's own words and scripture) throughout the world, I've come to know the enemy. I didn't pay attention to the enemy before Sept. 2001. I do now. Read the true history of muslim relations with the world at large since the mid 600's. It make me wonder: why has this ideology pretending to be a religion been permitted to exist so long?

#6 No, muzzies' accurately described actions are the cause of islamophobia. If the muzzies are really looking for the reason everyone else hates and despises them, they can find the answer by a)looking into their Koran, and b)looking into the nearest mirror.

#7 Muzzies are victims. Victims of inherent stupidity. Victims of psychotic hatred. Victims of belief in gun-sex moon god death cults. Let's add the category "victims of well placed shots".

#8 I wish I had a buck for everytime I've read a "Muslims are victims" story here over the last few years...
