I rather think Kevin, that the Muslim families who have suffered abuse and assault, and also those who have had dogshit and blazing petrol posted through their letterboxes, would feel persecuted

There are large numbers of British Muslims, who have been maltreated in every way mentioned in the stages of that concise definition of "persecution" which was posted in this thread, "up to and including death".

Mosques have been bombed and defaced.

Many of course have not fled the country, being British and having been born here. Others stay because they haven't the means to leave.

That must mean, according to some, that they are not persecuted.

Just as Gazans are not persecuted, since they are still breeding.

Ignoring, of course, the inconvenient fact that, with their infrastructure, economy and freedom of movement destroyed, they have fuck all else to do!
