Today, the #1 problem the UK has, is the ignorance in giving in to
Muslims!! This started roughly 30 yrs. ago, and has progressively gotten
worse. We're just now having to deal with it, but I have an idea the
American people will, come push to shove, handle the situation a LOT
more severely than those in the UK.
