<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 216736, member: 29&quot;]I&#039;ve been to Turkey many times, and my part of London has many Turkish inhabitants. I have never ever had a problem with any of them. Come to that,not had a problem with any of our locals that could be ascribed to faith or ethnicity or whatever. </p><p><br /></p><p>But then, I live somewhere that has been a bugger&#039;s muddle for centuries, let alone decades. As is my family. Perhaps people sometimes get what they expect. The few nasty meanies I&#039;ve known have been that way because that&#039;s how they were, not for any faith or culture reasons. One of the vilest was a Christian preacher, but his evil had nothing to do with faith. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have many Muslim neighbours - and friends - and they worry about exactly the same things as anyone else, and are as good neighbours as anyone else. I saw one this morning who I&#039;d not seen for ages - a huge hug and asked after Himself, who she knew had been for check ups. </p><p><br /></p><p>Frankly, the US seems to have more of a problem separating church and state from what I&#039;ve seen, especially of late. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mansons, one of the biggest markets in London for antiques is the wealthy from Saudi, the UAE and other Middle Eastern nations. Come to that, the women from those countries keep shops like Selfridges and Harrods going.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
