The crazy PC system does come from the USA, you are 100% correct. "Britain is the most tolerant nation on earth": so they like to think. Britain defines itself as 'tolerant' as a way of differentiating itself from its traditional enemy, Germany. There is evidence that Britain is NOT that tolerant. Stephen Lawrence? Anyway, that is the way the story was sold to you. The English gentleman is 'tolerant'. If you read Professor Dawkins's work on religion, you will realize that the Brits are not that tolerant. But this is somewhat off-topic.

There is one religious group the British are very tolerant of, and that is Muslims. So far, the British relied on the fact that Muslim violence- forgive me if I talk about "Muslim" violence- only affected other nations. After 7/7, the non-aggression agreement between Muslims and the British has come to an end. The British have failed to integrate the large Muslim community into their society. The British have failed to deport the most dangerous elements of that community. The British have failed to create a truly tolerant society. Of course, they will call me a 'fascist', but that is just their opinion. It is an excuse for failing to act against Muslim radicals.
