WHY do Muslims like Shuiab Khan ask if being a Muslim makes him a terrorist? Is it because the current wave of terrorism appears to be carried out by Muslims?
I am a Catholic born in Britain of Irish parents as are my two brothers. We were never paranoid that society thought we were terrorists at the time of high IRA activity.
The dreadful atrocities at Manchester, Warrington, the innocent soldiers and horses at Hyde Park never made us feel at risk from our peers and no other Catholic I know felt threatened.
We felt astonished that so-called religious people could murder and maim but that's what extremism does. It makes these dreadful acts legal in the twisted minds of those who carry them out.
Calm down Muslims! We don't believe you are all terrorists.
