  Jan - you make a good point.
  
  I was in Birmingham at the time of the pub bombings and that night is was the last night of a course I was on, staying in Erdington, a Brum suburb. We tossed a coin that evening to decide, as a group, whether to pop into the City centre and go to The Talk of The Town pub or stay in the local we had used in Erdington. We stayed in Erdington. When we arrived back at the digs in which we were staying the landlady was frantic with worry and relief to see us because two pubs, including the Talk of The Town, were bombed by the IRA.
  
  The next day we travelled through Brum to the station to come home and we heard about innocent Irish people being chased and beaten up there.
  
  Yes Islamist terrorism must not be allowed to be translated into a hatred and bad treatment of all muslims. Doing that will just play into the hands of the extremists allowing them to gain more traction and support. The extremists are a minority we must remember that. Sadly some people do not..... It would help though if more muslims were to integrate more into our society and not promote cultural differences.
