We have this obsession with mainstreaming everything, and everybody. If you consider interest on savings and loans to be immoral, don't have an account or loan with the bank or building society. If you regard dogs or pigs as untouchable, don't join a veterinary practice. If you are a carmelite nun, don't ask the lap dancing club for a weekend job. If you are Lenny Henry, don't audition for the part of Hedda Gabler. This myth about how we should all be able to go anywhere and do anything, is damaging, cruel, and dangerous. With the best will in the world, we can't. All we have is a block of legislation backing up our "right" to be perverse.

If you are running a pet-friendly hotel, you shouldn't be placed in jeopardy because some customer checks in and then announces that he is allergic, and all the pets have to go or he will sue you.

And most of them turn out to be all too profitable. Sometimes, the victim is placed in an impossible situation, simply by wishing to provide a particular type of service to a particular clientele. And customers or staff who are antagonistic towards a business can easily drive away the regulars, and sink the whole enterprise.

We are no longer shocked. I don't think I need to prove that more innocent people have been killed by Islamic Terrorists over the last 10 years than any other terrorist group. Daily there is an Islamic Terrorist atrocity somewhere in the World , an arrest or a conviction. In a simple word association challenge the words "Islam/Muslim" and "Terrorism" are bound to be associated more than "The Holy sisters of Our Lady" and "Terrorism". Its so similar to if you were to do a word association amongst Muslims for words related to Israel. I'm sure "apartheid", "atrocity" and "stolen" gets a high score. So, don't be so shocked at the Western World's association making. Bali, 9/11, Beslan, Moscow, Sauid, Israel, Madrid, 7/7, Iraq, Pakistan, Mumbai, 250+ Muslims found guilty of terrorism-related offences in the UK since 2001 and the recent convictions only yesterday (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8406051.stm) all kinda lead to some conclusions that YOU seem to think are unfair. Oh, and Mohammed was also a War Lord, commanding armies who slaughtered people. The Pope said it and even MPAC UK about 2 years ago featured an article on Mohammed as one of the most influential people in history which recorded his battles. We FULLY accept that most Muslims abhor Islamic Terrorism as much as we Westerners do. So, how about working with them rather than trying to pretend that Islamic Terrorism doesn't exist.
