    He's obviously pro Alans snackbar
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      Can imagine Kat Slater as a Westfield girl though. She's a self-proclaimed slaaaaag.
      They go to the West End not Westfield.

      And White City is nearer but I hate shopping centres.

          Isn't it normally just ignorance that makes people anti-Islam? In my experience anyway.

            How random. They didn't use to show Dot going to Church (did they?) despite her faith being a big part of her character. So why can't the Muslim characters just say "we're off to the Mosque"?

            Or are they going to have a plot-line where we see ISIS plots being hatched and the mosque gets burned down?

              Ignorance makes people xenophobic/racist in general rather than anti-Muslim. It would make them anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist, etc. by default too.
              Ignorance of the oppression of non-Muslims in Muslim countries isn't exactly conducive to your argument.

                Well in my experience most "true believers" are dangerous people regardless of affiliation. I find nothing particularly objectionable about Islam.

                I'd have as legit a beef about Christianity because of the Crusades and the Inquisition if it was all about being against a religion because of the actions of extremists. I personally find the "love your neighbour" and "turn the other cheek" nonsense objectionable, but I wouldn't have a rant about a soap opera set building a church...

                  So the actions of people 600 years ago dictate your modern views of a religion?

                  Oh dear.

                    Think the point is that only one of those religions has failed to move on since the Middle Ages
                    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                      The point is you don't have to try very hard to find things to object to in any religion. You cannot say Wahhabism (I'll assume that's what you're referencing) is representative of Islam unless you're also going to tell me that the Westboro Baptists and their ilk are a fair representation of Christianity.
