    Indeed. Presumably in Allo Allo then "good moaning" was offensive to the French.

    Though in my view insulting the French should be compulsary.

          Well according to my step daughter white kids get called 'milky bar kids' at school.

          I'm obviously missing something but isn't Paki short for Pakistani ???

          Also, I don't like Muslims regardless of nationality, does that make me racist ????

            No. Racism has nothing to do with religion or nationality. Racists believe that the main characterisics of a person are determind by their race, that some races are superior to others and it follows from this that it is ok to hate some races or even take action against them.

                  Well there is always an element of Banter in the Army - for examples Soldiers from Scotland are refered to as Jocks - its not being maliciouis - its just part of the Banter - Im sure Harrys comment was not intended to be malicious at all - time to move on .

                  Much ado about nothing.

                    No, but it would seem a little ignorant to write off everybody from very liberal Universal Sufis through humanist influenced Turkish Alevis to Iranian Shi’ites and gun toting Saudi Wahabis. You may as well profess a dislike of Christians, which would include easy going Church of England types through your average European catholic to American bible bashing fundamentalists.

                      How does it offend you if I don't particulary care for Islam???
