I remember my grandfather telling me that he fought for freedom from oppression, and now I you are telling me that I can live here only if I follow your way of thinking.
I remember him telling me of the sickening horror of war and the death and the maiming. And I remember him telling me that he and all of the other teenage boys like him were terrified but had to keep a brave face because 'England expects'. And he told me, too, that war was caused by politicians who used many tricks to make war look glorious. What sounds better: "Boy 19 shot in leg. Screams for his mother as his burst artery leaks out his life blood." or "Hero lays down his life defending king and country." Government manipulates the truth; the media follow, and the population is fooled. You, dear Ajibee, have been fooled. You have been manipulated to believe that we must never question WHY soldiers are killed. You simply feel that we must cherish the poppy to honour those killings, to support the maimed and to let young boys continue to fight - and no one must challenge that idea.
There are many ways to honour those whose lives were taken by politicians without being forced to wear a poppy. The Poppy Appeal is well-intentioned but politicians have hijacked it. It makes being murdered seem like a glorious choice. It wasn't then and it isn't now. Your comment reminds me of Owen's poem Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. Please read it, and then think about how it describes war. Do support charities, please. Do support those maimed by war and the families of those murdered in the name of politics. But do also question the system that allows such awful things to continue to happen. Do not assume because someone does not support the idea of the poppy that they are anti-British or anti-veteran.

Wrong, people like you who think it is right that others can be bullied into their way of thinking should leave the country, you would clearly be better suited to living under a more authoritarian regime, perhaps North Korea or Saudi Arabia perhaps?
And also, I'd love to know the practicalities of handing in your passport and then leaving the country, they'd never let you through the check in desk!

​What utter mince you talk.

Why buy this piece of crap. Why dont you do what i do and just give them a donation where they can use 100% rather than have to manufacture these subtract that cost and the marketing cost before actually getting them some money to use.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

"In Flanders Fields", one of the most memorable war poems ever written is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. (Then) Major John McCrae, a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, wrote the poem after spending seventeen days treating the injured. He scribbled the poem
in a notebook while sitting on the back of an ambulance where he could see the wild poppies growing in a nearby cemetery near Ypres. McCrae tossed the poem away, but a fellow officer retrieved it and sent it to newspapers in England where is was published by Punch on December 8, 1915.

Seems a bit weird voting hot on a deal that means you give less to a deserving charity, especially as 90% of us would be buying them at full price without it. So I'm abstaining.

seems a bit expensive to me, i dont think passing on this makes you a worse person so ill pass.

I agree mate. I like what the poppy represents and wear one myself but it's meaning seems to have changed recently to be a defiant sign of patriotism which is concerning.

I suspect it will go the way of the St George's cross if the more militant continue their campaign.

very worthy cause but I would never give my details to a charity again.
we get bombarded with charity junk mail , I'm sure personal details get passed around.

give anonymously .

Invading and pillaging other countries for centuries to this day. Does anybody even admit to being british these days.
The burden of shame, eh?

Very well said, there is certainly nothing "glorious" about being blown to pieces in war, neither is there such a thing as being "gloriously dead"

Dear god. Why even argue over such a cause? I am in awe of the men and women who give the lives for this country. Lose limbs, their senses and suffer from PTSD. Wearing a poppy and giving money to support the families who fought for the British Forces, wherever they come from and have had their families lives torn apart because of the trauma they've suffered should be commended. It makes me sick that it should even be an issue.

By the way I'm very proud of being British.

Most of the WW2 veterans have gone now, but there are still some doughty characters left.
Anyone of that generation who came through. suffered great loss.

If you get a chance to help them in any way, then do it.
It is a privilege.

This needs more heat. No better cause imo.

I certainly do. You mean bringing the rule of law to huge swathes of the world? Vast majority of democracies are based on ours from when we 'invaded and pillaged' them. Without us 'invading and pillaging' countries like India/Pakistan/Jamaica etc their citizens would have not been able to settle here. You are against immigration? Racist.

Get back to your mung beans and Guardian.

Think that was in reply to the post above asking if anyone is 'proud to be British these days'

I thought The Poppy Appeal signified respect for the people who afforded us the freedoms we enjoy today... Not a subject for petty squabbling. JMHO.

Lx

I dont think politicians had a choice but to engage in the 2 world wars did they?

The Poppy to me just reminds me of the people that lost there lives in the World Wars, nothing more nothing less and i for one will always buy one.

Just check out my fb picture???? Not going to be drawn into this but my vote is hot ????

Its seems its you who's been brainwashed, though you've left a tell tale sign in your profile which probably explains your reply.

"There're more trolls on this website than probably any other in the world."

You're correct, but unfortunately its also now being used by the burning poppy brigade to signify they dont like the freedoms we have are would prefer we had different laws to obey.

You see, you're basically the western version of Islamic extremists who chants ALLAH! Or the Americans who chant USA, USA when they see a bomb ploughing into a foreign land. You're putty in the hands of the government.

Anyone purchased ?? Really peeps just no need, I posted this deal as In my opinion there are some lovely items on sale with the added bonus we can have some of our money go to a need. Lest we forget our soldiers & families may be reading. I am so proud to be British.

Idiot ; no one brought racism into this except you!

you may need to study history if you think laws didn't exist in the rest of the world until the British empire.

I am a veteran and I can assure you petty bickering isn't the reaction the poppy campaign is supposed to incite.

#wombuck I really do apologise, God bless you & your family, the poppy is a mark of respect I do think some people fail to understand that word

If Britain and its actions embarrass you press 2 now.

If , alternatively, you would rather dress it up as something else press 3

@ewayengi this is a deal post, if you don't want to purchase vote cold if the deal is appealing to you vote hot.

What gets to me about the commemoration of WW1 and WW2 and "we must never forget" is that we conveniently forget about the war dead/wounded in conflicts prior to WW1. So the dead of the Boer War, the Battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo, and of the various battles by British Celtic tribes against the Romans are forgotten. And never mind the fact that those serving front-line in the armed forces are at a far less risk of injury or death than deep sea fishermen or those in the construction industry, yet we don't have commemoration days for those killed on fishing trawlers or killed on building sites. Oh, and conscription to the armed forces ended decades ago, so anyone joining these days will be aware of the risks of serving front-line, just as a window cleaner knows the risks of falling off a tall ladder.

FWIW, my grandfather served in WW1. Several other great-uncles died in it. My grandfather died an early death in the 1960s as a result of being gassed in the trenches. I think about him and my other relatives who served all year round and not during this "compulsory poppy-wearing season". That has become the 11th Commandment, especially where the BBC is concerned. It completely demeans the significance of wearing one.

Well said sir, well said...

And its one, two, three....what are we fighting for...

And you worked that out because I pulled you up for admitting to trolling this website. How very clever of you.

Oh and I dont celebrate people dying or shout USA USA. Stop believing everything you read in The Jihadi Times.

The quote on my profile isn't declaring that I'm a troll for goodness sake; please only reply to me again if you have something intelligent to add. ~fin.

Poppy appeal and wearing a Poppy is to show respect to those lost and/or injured during whatever conflict you may wish to remember. Normally associated with WW1 as this was when it was introduced based on the presence of poppies at the battlefields in Europe.

Not about politics, just about showing support but many involved fought for the right for you to make up your own mind so no one should be forced to get involved.

@luckyjulie88. Could you please correct the title it is not poppy shop UK.

It's not a uk shop or even a uk charity , it's a uk web site, don't be like the haters and ignore differences in something you are trying to promote, it's a fairly basic thing to comprehend, in fact somewhat ignorant of you not to recognise the different poppy charities within the uk

Except I didn't alter the shop link when I posted it, if I alter the link it wouldn't take you to the deal ?? I really am naive in thinking I had to share a deal that doesn't take you to the deal, or would that be another subject someone could complain about, stop nitpicking

No, I won't be wearing a poppy. It is not about remembrance, it's selective remembrance. In the British Legion's own words: '“The Legion advocates a specific type of Remembrance connected to the British Armed Forces, those who were killed, those who fought with them and alongside them.”

So what if the civilian casualties? The stretcher bearers killed during the blitz as they rushed to save lives? And let's not forget the MILLIONS who dies as direct consequence of war in the Bengal Famine? When our illustrious leaders chose to allow them to starve.

No thank you. I advocate an inclusive remberance, minus faux patriotism and politics that are increasingly associated with the poppy appeal.

Those guys were forced to go to war nowadays joining the army is optional

You don't need a declaration, its pretty obvious with what you post.

Then I can only assume you have an avatar picture of a pizza to represent the contents of your head. Well done. (now, go away.)

I tried to smoke the poppies once, didn't contain any opium, and the plastic stuck to my lips.

I repeat, I do not care for your faux patriotism and politics.

Thank you OP, a wonderful cause to support, sale or no sale. Lest we forget.

The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I; their brilliant red colour became a symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

Democracy and freedom at work on one simple website thread. Freedom is what a lot of those remembered with a Poppy fought for so please carry on but also consider that you could be typing in German too!!

You can get off your soap box now sweetie.

Why you need to tell people they shouldn't signals an agenda.

I didn't tell people they shouldn't, I shared why I didn't: I don't need a poppy to remind me of the blood, sweat and tears of my ancestors.

But your agenda is plain to see. Don't confuse your motivations with mine.

Agree completely-This is exactly what I mean about 'selective remeberance'

Such a sad day. These days you get criticised for wearing a poppy, I hate this country :disappointed:

Enjoy the freedom to post which was earned by those supported by the Poppy Appeal. Still many suffering following various conflicts and all support appreciated.

Don't forget there will be poppy sellers across the land again next week at shopping centres, train stations, and so on. If you have lost your poppy or have yet to get one, there should be a seller near you! I have stood outside my local tube station for 5 years selling poppies, the warmth and generosity is phenomenonal.

A great deal of sense said here, I use to work with an old man in his nineties who was a foot soldier, hearing the horror and brutality told to you first hand and seeing a man in his nineties still crying over his friends literally torn apart is something I'll never forget.

it's good you mentioned "all PROFITS goes to charity"

As that's after the top dogs pay themselves £160,000 a year! Great business to be in this so called 'charity' work.

they're all the same all these known charities they're all on 100+ grand a year as well as cash hand outs for 'expences'

Well Done- well written

VOTED COLD- I do not condone child murder and genocide committed in Iraq and Afghanistan by these terrorist poppy lovers

I echo the sentiments of edward2910. The only acceptable and honourable deaths are when those who fought, fought for the defence of a nation, like against Hitler and his madness. If anyone here believes that going to wars in iraq, libya, or Syria or whichever middle east country America chooses to take a dump on, is noble then you are simply lacking in basic education.

It is a fact that in a recession soldiers are conscripted 'ahem', sorry I mean 'asked nicely to join the cause' and this isn't a coincidence it is simply taking advantage of poor young men who don't have any opportunities and don't know what else to do with their lives and so they think "why not be the best I can be" .. and so it begins.

The reality of the matter is, any First world nation with nuclear weapons doesn't even NEED soldiers, at MOST it needs some pilots and some navy personnel to secure the border. The soldiers are simply a pawn, a tool used to help Invade and ravage a sovereign nation which is effectively of ZERO threat to us due to our naval, nuclear and aerial Power*

I will reiterate unless it wasn't clear.. Signing up knowing you might be asked to KILL, for anything other than to Defend your Country against Attack is NOT honourable. Is not NOBLE and it is not a cause for celebration.

i wish we could all focus our efforts on stopping wars because with the best will in the world things are goinmg from bad to worse. i do not want even more dead and maimed, more amputees widows and orphans, we have to stop insane politicians like Cameron, Blair, Juncker , Merkel and Obama from destroying our planet. war may be bad for ordinary people but it generates fat profits for the elite. Wee William Hague our ex Foreign secretary mad millions from his links to the US based Carlyle Group who have major 'investments' in making weapons. until we take away the profit incentives for war more youth will die in vain

Haha! Burn.

Good price for a good cause.

If anything, Britannia! Just copied the 'ways' of ancient rome and greece! wars, feudalism, slavery and political class manipulation, until, one day, it was all gone.

Those amongst us capable of basic comprehension should ask if we want our country to turn into even more of a craphole like America is...

Agreed. You gotta ask why they are bothering to post in this thread, but that just fuels their agenda. Some people just love to tell you they have no respect.

you are obvioulsy not aware that ISIS is funded by NATO , and supported by among others Turkey and UK trade partner Saudi Arabia ( frequent guests at the Palace)

You and your mates are worse than isis. 1.78 million were alive before your terrorist armies turned up including children. You are the terrorist and you are proud of your child murder- that is why you wear your terrorist poppy.

obvioulsy not




Seek help.

Keep lying to yourself- it's easier for your intellect

a spelling mistake, who are you the grammar police? seek help yourself you gullible sheep and for the record I am ex Territorial Army whose father was in the 8th army. I dont need your permission to state my views, Seek Help YOU SEEK HELP

i agree guy is so busy stuffing his face with Pizzas he has no wisdom at all , oh well let him buy his Poppy Merchandise if it keeps him happy

Good grief. I know its Halloween. Is it a full moon too or just the loonies out for trick or treat?

So you need a plastic flower to remind you of fallen soldiers? Why? Do people have the memory span of a Goldfish? Remembrance...O...K. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact the British government couldn't give a toss about the disposable soldiers who come back injured which is why there is such an appeal to raise funds for these soldiers. Let's not blame the government for the lack of financial support eh? They don't mind sending your kids to die but they do mind spending a bit of money on the same kids. The sooner these temporary makeshift patriots stop hijacking this flower which is supposed to represent all fallen soldiers and not just the English the better. Perhaps I'll purchase one this year if they acknowledge the hundreds of thousands Muslims who fought for this nation or at least acknowledge the fact Churchill is a murderer who intentionally starved 400,000 Indians in the Bengal region who were fighting this nations battles. 400,000 Bangladeshis...the same nation who had no help from the British when Pakistan decided to invade to rape and pillage all their natural resources. Not to mention the lasting effects of this measured execution which no doubt went on to kill millions since even the cattle starved.

Also to those idiots who think all proceeds go to charity obviously have no clue how an organization like this works. They raise a truck load of money which a larger than required percentage goes to fund the same organization. From having almost 300+ employees producing these flowers to now around 40. I'm sure once again that profit has no part in this. Charity...LOL. Don't make me laugh. James Cropper, a Lord and Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order no less... his descendants are rolling in your money. The purchase of these Poppies funded their business which is now Europe's leading coloured and specialist paper mill. Yet if you mentioned James Cropper to one of these Britain First pillocks they'll be like "YOU WOT MATE?!!". The rich will always protect the rich which is why this kind of information isn't that widespread in these blind following the blind communities.

Sheeple. If you really want to do something to help these soldiers perhaps go and hand them a quid yourself but no...that's too much hassle right? Easier to buy a plastic flower that's being flogged in every bus station, train station, charity shop, supermarket, school, work etc. But no, you'd rather create a crowd funding page to help just one random soldier who is flavour of the month because his/her sob story just happened to fill an empty slot in the media. Lazy sods.

Just ignore them, they will have flown out to Syria by the end of the year mate.

That's right. Won't be long before British soldiers are sent out to Syria to once again fight an unnecessary battle. You're clearly one from the crowds.

Cool. I just regard you as an idiot who has no respect and posting to disrupt a thread you've repeatedly told us you have no interest in. Trolling seems to be acceptable on here. But as the "deal of the day", I guess you'll now have a little sulk.

Beautifully said. I think you've voiced the thoughts that millions of us share, but more eloquently than most of us could manage.

Or I'm someone who lost both grandfathers to war. Do one, tool.

the thread is for EVERYBODY, if you wish to buy tat made overseas so that the PROFITS ( if any) go to victims of senseless wars that your perogative. i dont need you to agree with me and care not a fig what you think , now run along and and howl at the moon

haha a Zionist I just knew it, mmmm any thoughts on the King David Hotel Massacre to celebrate Poppy Day? if you dont know what happened check on WIkipedia

You let the mask slip. Now everyone on HUKD can see your Zionist agenda and your Zionist reptile face.

The King David Hotel bombing was an attack carried out on Monday July 22, 1946 by the militant Zionist underground organization Irgun on the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, which was housed in the southern wing[1] of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.[2][3][4] 91 people of various nationalities were killed and 46 were injured.[5]

The hotel was the site of the central offices of the British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, principally the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and the Headquarters of the British Armed Forces in Palestine and Transjordan.[5][6] The attack initially had the approval of the Haganah (the principal Jewish paramilitary group in Palestine). It was conceived as a response to Operation Agatha (a series of widespread raids, including one on the Jewish Agency, conducted by the British authorities) and was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era (1920–1948).[5][6]

Disguised as Arabs,[7] the Irgun planted a bomb in the basement of the main building of the hotel, whose southern wing housed the Mandate Secretariat and a few offices of the British military headquarters. The Irgun sent warnings by telephone, including one to the hotel's own switchboard, which the staff decided to ignore, but none directly to the British authorities.[6] A

our soldiers? your soldiers, not my soldiers.

probably a Mason , did you know Jimmy Savile was an esteemed Friend of Israel and had met the Israeli President. most people dont know that but its a fact

Oh here we go, roll in the cavalry of ignorance...

thats a fact? are you saying what i am saying is untrue, go away and check first before you make false accusations

i will leave the thread, all i ask is that people consider other versions of history because not everything we are taught is true. goodnight

No no that's a fact, you're correct.

Disgusting how you judge a whole country on one act by a militant sect.

Actually i think you will find its you who've had their agenda exposed.

it's a shame people on here feel the need to ram their political views one way or the other down people's throats.I for one have no interest....your as boring as the politicians .I will be buying a poppy as I have In my own mind very valid reasons......and those I'll keep to myself

so how much of the sale actually goes to the cause and how much just gets wasted in wages/promotions/bonuses/special bonuses/ super super special bonuses to those who run this scam?
I guess it's much better than the clothes collections where they donate 50quid a ton and sell the clothes on for 800quid/ton but still. If you want to actually make a difference- Donate directly to people in need not these Scam Charity institutes!

Bejesus, the pub has shut early. Some people should be breath-tested before being let loose on a keyboard. Calm down folks, either buy one or don't, nobody really cares about your reasons why you did or didn't.

Im not british, thank God

This shop is expensive, a poppy wrist band are £1 everywhere, this should be a deal rather than promote , don't get that wrong!!
Any way my kids will buy there's from school.

Pizza head and the rest arguing, it's bed time !! Iv read the comments and it's getting worse.
If someone wants to buy a poppy they will if not they won't. Simples!
In most work places they have to.
Pizza head I didn't like your comment about killing each other so Kurds or better off Israel could have the oil?? Is that what you want?? That's inciting hatred!!

Totally agree, I see myself as a British patriot but who loathes the whole poppy tyranny, it just smacks of You Must Do This Otherwise You Are Not A Patriot, which is a 1930s German attitude that our grandparents fought against. The likes of Aijbee will never see the irony though.

Zionism was supposedly a movement for good. They make decisions, involve themselves in trade and even fight wars for a greater purpose. But their conduct and their members could not be any further from that. They want to control everything, oil, land, politics, weapons, war, for their benefit and the benefit of the 1% with the wealth. They are multi-national, multi-ethnic, multi-religious (although disproportionately represented by one particular religion) and like to operate in secret- they have many secrets to hide. Most people are just waking up to them- but many have been aware of them for many years now.

This thread needs closing. G'night.

Voted cold because there is no 1% topcashback :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm pretty shocked by some of the things I've read on here, while I understand the internet is not a good way to judge society it saddens me to think that anyone would hold some of the views you people hold.
I fought in the 91 Iraq war, I worked with explosives which mainly consisted of , mines, ied and demolition, as part of that I blew some very large ammunition dumps and at some point came in to contact with something not very nice and my health almost immediately began to suffer, I won't bore you with the details of my many symptoms but I have to be in a wheelchair to leave the house nowadays and suffer not inconsiderable pain constantly.
For that sacrifice of all my entire adult life I get the grand total of £33 pw war pension and one day a year where people show a little gratitude but some would taint even that.
Yes I volunteered to join the army but I fail to see how that lessens my sacrifice compared to a conscript, we live in a world where soldiers are an unfortunate necessity, I know the realities of war and as such want more than most to live in a world without it but thats a pipe dream, if there weren't people willing to volunteer we would still have conscription and your attitudes towards the subject would be different.
War is a dirty business and can bring out the very worst in people but I can tell you that without doubt the behaviour of modern soldiers never descends to some of the horrors that were committed by their WWII counter parts, I don't say this to damn them, I complete understand it, they were poorly trained and disciplined and were scared in a way most of us will luckily never experience, I just simply get tired of hearing of the evils of the modern soldier where as in fact they behave with a level of control that has never been seen in war till this point in history.
We are all free to argue until we are blue in the face about the politics of this or that war but if a soldier was sent by his country and none of his actions knowingly broke the Geneva convention whilst he was in active duty than his actions were honourable and his sacrifice worthy of respect. Even if some of his actions were questionable YOU have never been there, YOU have never suffered it and believe me YOU have no idea how YOU would behave until YOU have.
Rant over. Probably.

No shame as its been done by every other nation out there through history we were just the last to carry out what many have done for thousands of years before us!

If you want to buy a poppy and wear it, then do it. If you don't, then don't. That is the power of freedom, but freedom comes at a cost, remember that. Hard earned in the past, and rest assured will need to be defended in the future.

So that is how you justify genocide and child murder??

Nope I don't have to justify anything!

OK, so child murder and genocide part of your everyday life - right- I am slowly getting what you are about.

​I only murdered a handful of children and most of them were pretty grubby looking and probably orphans that won't be missed by anyone so I don't think that's a point worth raising.

Ignore him my good man. He's one of those who ignores the news when there's a piece about British rockers, celebrities, corporate leaders, huge media conglomerates behind scandal cover-ups, politicians, Priests, white British folks raping babies, creating/running internet paedophile rings, selling their baby/child for sex but God forbid it's a Muslim. Makes their blood boil. Just like the bloke on here with his crocodile tears and woe me attitude who claims he's lost both his grandparents to war like he was the only one to lose anything. Clearly needs someone to talk to if he's on here dishing out his personal/family life expecting someone to care when he himself doesn't care about the other side of the coin.

England expects ? England expects what that Scottish Irish and Welsh die for them it was Britain that went to war not England -A total of 147,609 Scots lost their lives in the four-year-long conflict between 1914 and 1918. While Scotland had just a tenth of the UK's population, its soldiers accounted for a fifth of Britain's war dead. Or, to put it another way, twice as many Scots died per head of population than was the case south of the border.Lest we forget

Friend asked in the local corner shop if they selling poppies and the answer given was "no we're Muslim" Where would they be now without all veterans? Make me sick. HOT

WTF sorry to say but true I'm no racist and have a few ethnic mates mainly Indian so why would I want to make something like that? PRAT

NOT MADE UP PRAT. FACT ! Would you like the address of the shop? They're proud of not selling them because of recent conflicts and like I said they make me sick and I'm no racist have friends of different races too.

Aah, you have 'ethnic' mates. All is forgiven then

Even if I accept this at face value, why does it make you sick? Plenty of people hold this view, and they are entitled to it-we have apparently fought wars to defend that very right.

AND why did you need to point out that they were Muslims? I think I know, and I think you should be ashamed.

praise be to allah thanks for your forgiveness and calling me a liar. By the way the shop I'm on about was raided twice by immigration police over the last few months or am I telling another lie? Look up Scunthorpe telegraph archives once you've took your head out your ass

When the reason they gave was "we don't sell them we are Muslim" I thought it ok to mention it but obviously not PC eh?

What's the point of this thread? Where's the bargain to be had?

I'm no racist but.....
I've got ethnic friends.....

Clearly a racist.

TWIT.

Find out why the British legion use the poppy as their emblem, then you'll realise that you shouldn't support them its truly shocking

Thanks OP Heat added

Don't call me a racist you prat. if I was I would own up to it but I aren't so go judge elsewhere. Shame you can't get nicked for calling people racist from behind your key board

I think you are confusing muslims with the Americans!
