"BTW when did Mary & Jesus get to be British.................DOH!2 At every traditional school nativity play Oh, like Saint Nicholas! British figure of Father Christmas, the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, and Saint Nicholas, the historical Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra. During the Christianization of Germanic Europe, this figure may also have absorbed elements of the god Odin, who was associated with the Germanic pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky.

They're just people, Gus. We'd better hope that the fascists don't take over here, causing us to become refugees.

Aubrey,your nativity story made me laugh. I remember one nativity story that still makes me laugh ,told by a school inspector(Gervaise Flynn.) He turned up in a Yorkshire village to watch the nativity play and noticed that the school seemed closed.As he walked up the drive,he saw a little boy running by and asked him where everyone was. The lad told him,"Nativity play's cancelled.Virgin Mary's got nits."

The lad told him,"Nativity play's cancelled.Virgin Mary's got nits." My oldest daughter was she and withdrawn as a child, she would go to birthday parties and sit in the corner watching the other children. We entered her into a local nursery school which improved the situation She was just over four years old when we moved house where we discovered that the local primary school would take her in the September intake. She seemed to settle very well At the end of the term the head asked to see us to tell us that she had been selected to play Mary in the traditional nativity play. With some apprehension we attended the performance and to our consternation she marched onto the stage and in a booming voice you could hear streets away she said "My name is Mary etc" They do say that you have no idea what your child is like when away from you

So, someone goes out being a terrorist, and some other people - who have nothing at all to do with the terrorism - start getting a "Backlash" for it. Those people are really tough, picking on women.

Do enlighten us as to how you know that "other people - who have nothing to do with terrorism" is correct

It obviously is, unless you think all Muslims are terrorists. And certainly, as far as anyone abusing Muslim women over terrorism goes, they have no idea whether the women are terrorists or not: for them, the fact of their being Muslims is enough.
In the 70s you had people getting beaten up for having an Irish accent after IRA bombings. This is the same.

My view of Muslims changed dramatically following 9/11, I cannot see how anyone could do such an evil act. I do not trust any of then "Failed 21/7 London bombers lose court claim" www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37353533Now they not only try to blow us up but claim that their human rights were violated for their trial. Never mind the human rights of those they sought to blow to smithereens
