It's not all bad.

Although I'm a Londoner we moved to Bedford a couple of years ago.

Bedford probably has the largest Muslim community in the UK. We also have Sikhs, Italians, Poles ....

When the 7/7 thing happened, the local community formed a human chain from the Sikh Temple via the Muslim Mosque to the Anglican Church.

I felt very proud when I heard about that, even though I wasn't a part of it.
