Hello Peter,

 PC> am reminded by posting by a judge retired, of the same.
 PC> seems to be normal in response to International Terrorism but it
 PC> also has impacted the UK as a whole, as my learned friend has
 PC> pointed out to me.

 PC> I am going to forward to him your text .... and allow him to reply
 PC> if he desires through me.

Thank you, I would be interested in his reply.

 PC> Interesting posting, but then before it happened over here
 PC> my friend also posted about the London Buses having signs
 PC> on them proclaiming....

 PC> "GOD doesn't Exist...Now you can get on with your lifes!"

It is (or was) an advertising campaign, and a number of US cities
have "Why Islam?" adverts promoting islam as a "religion of
peace".
It puts the bus company in a quandary - do they censor such things,
or allow them as free speech, and in the case of the British buses
there were objections from some drivers over being assigned to drive
buses which contradicted their faith.

Britain is accommodating its muslim minority, while repressing its
(professing) Christian majority - banning "Saint George" parades,
renaming Christmas as Winterval, serving halal food to all children
in some schools, not having "piggy banks" in bank branches because
it "offends" the minority, and so on.

Cheers, Steve..
