Lizzie, what makes you sound suspiciously close to the BNP is your readiness to use phrases like we have become almost second class citizens in our own land. I know a few UK muslims who don't feel that at all, and certainly I don't feel it myself. But perhaps it wasn't "us" you were speaking for?

I'd post links and words to it, but some folks in here suffer Total Hysteria about that,

I think you have misunderstood Lizzie. No-one in this thread, nor anywhere else on Mudcat so far as I know, has ever objected to people providing links to their sources. Au contraire, the practice is positively encouraged.
