"but I believe that the problem is worse in comparable countries."
Whether this is true or not (we only take responsibility for what happens in our own country) it has nothing to do with what is under discussion, which is the effect that British racism has, or might have, on Muslim youth.
"I think that this country is a beacon of tolerance."
'Course you do - pity the facts don't back you up.
"Britain is a deeply racist country."
One third to a quarter of the population admiring to holding and expressing racist opinions indicate that this is not far off the mark - address that fact - you never have.
I qualified my statement by saying that I believe that racism to be passive, which I do.
"I think that is false and shows your own prejudice and bigotry."
I've just given you my reasons for my opinion - work it out for yourself before leaping by the "prejudice and bigotry" barrier - aI have no reason to be either - I am British, as are most of my family.
"I think that is false and shows your own prejudice and bigotry."
I have no idea why they do, or if they do, I only know a handful of them have said they do.
I get as much hate from you as I do from the most vociferous of them - perhaps it's time you looked at your behaviour if you want to find reasons?.
Address the possible reasons for radicalisation - so far you have either denied them or ignored them.
You have no idea what they "all cited" any more than the rest of us have.
Simple fact of life - brutalise and debase people for long enough and they will swipe back at you - despite claiming to be a "Christian" you are a prime example of that brutalisation, so if somebody takes a pop at you, don't be surprised.
How about all those who have persistently claimed to have been persecuted and made feel less than human all their lives - do you believe them?
PERSECUTION IN BRITAIN
The Rigby killers were hardly rational individuals - you are very selective in accepting what they say and didn't say.
