A) Why would Brits hate being called Brits? I've not encountered that
dislike myself. Unless you are a really touchy anti-UK nationalist (and the
large majority are not nationalists at all), it's a nonsense notion. I must
question whether Retrospect is British. Nobody in the UK says 'bloody,
ruddy' etc in his particular fashion, as most people have noticed by now.
B) If the majority of Muslim people were really as 'extreme' as some
(ironically) extreme people here claim, the world would be the 'terrorist
nightmare' we were told it would become when the US/UK crusaders took us to
'War' (an opinion of both supporters and critics of the wars). But it
isn't, because the fact is that the majority of Muslims are simply highly
peaceful, largely because it is central to their religion. The proof is in
the reaction to the wars. You can always pick something extreme from
sporadic examples (the UK-based London bombings perhaps, which were roundly
unsupported of course), but they prove nothing but the above 'rule'. Egypt
itself was always a mixed society. It all depends where in the world the
Muslim society resides, and we must remember that it's a split religion
too, with moderate and potentially extreme branches. Where the Muslim
people are most oppressed, they are the most extreme - it's largely as
simple as that. The oppression is always down to the mutual trade deals
(and history thereof) between those in power (the corrupt and 'puppet'
princes etc) and the West. The people have almost always lost out, and
that's were extremism both flourishes and is encouraged too.
