> It great to see Brits like your self in the UK fighting the good fight!
(big grin!) Cheers for that! I’m a Brit by birth. Born in Canada and a Kiwi by naturalization (3 passports)
> Obviously you are a Brit and upset at Muslims running your nation.
Yup! Too right — I’m upset at muslims running *any* nation. I live in New Zealand where we are all free to choose our own religion. Or choose not to. That is how it should be.

(GACK!) But but but she’s an Indian. What business has she got deciding the direction of the English language? She gets to do that on the day I get to decide the direction of Hindi.

She ought to speak for herself. I understand religion within the Bible as God’s Word. Multiculturalism plays no part in that exchange.
Your historical ‘knowledge’ is shocking. Just shocking.
There are so many errors, distortions and outright lies in that post, I almost dont know where to start.
