Get rid of the chip on your shoulder

I presently live in Wales, but still visit Shropshire and read the Shropshire Star whenever I can.

There seems to be an ongoing debate on Islam in Britain.

Mr Ahmed, of the London School of Economics, claims that Muslims feel unwanted and discriminated against and as a result have chosen to live separately.

To Mr Ahmed I say get over it. I have a German name and suffer insults to this present day, as do my children, and I was born in this country 55 years ago.

I have no chip on my shoulder, I just get on with my life.

That Muslims choose to live separately, dress differently and keep to themselves, I have no problem with. However, to call ethnic people minorities is playing with semantics; globally they aren't a minority, and Europe-wide they won't be either within 25 years

Going on to Robert Jenkins's view that we should "welcome any faith which promotes a belief in the Divine". I find that a rather sweeping statement.

Mormons are a generally a respectable, decent group of people, but would he embrace some Mormons' attitude to polygamy? Or the views of some Muslims, come to that? What are his views on ritual slaughter?

Britain's problems lie squarely with successive governments' immigration policies and the Nazification of anyone who dares to say that indigenous White people have rights.

Brushing difficult and sensitive issues under that carpet might be very British, but it is not the right way forward.
