In light of my post a few days ago, I thought that I would include this news item in which results of a poll were published regarding the sentiment surrounding Muslims living in the UK. It appears that at least two-thirds of Muslims living there have considered leaving the UK after the bombings in London. It's sad really.

What I read from this is not just the feelings of the Muslim population there but of those non-Muslim citizens living in the UK. It appears that some Britons are in denial that there is anti-Muslim sentiment there. It is silly to admit that this doesn't exist because it exists in every country of the world. It doesn't just apply one culture or religion.

I was talking with a woman on the bus yesterday about the movie Crash of which I wrote about in an earlier post. It discusses how racism isn't just a "white" issue and it really brought things to light.

Anyway, I was also thinking that this poll in the Guardian reminded me of all of the Americans who wanted to come to Canada after that idiot south of the border got re-elected. It's sad. When people don't feel supported, the first thing they consider is leaving. It just seems easier...

I am not sure what the answers to this issue are. Part of me just thinks that I should stop looking at the news. Maybe in my ignorance of world issues presented by the media that will give it whatever spin they like would do me a world of good.

But then, I realize that these issues of fear, injustice and racism aren't going to go away unless they are addressed.

Anyone out there got any answers?
