Sitting in the leisure centre waiting for my kids. Next to me are a group of what I'm guessing are 14 year olds. They are talking about poppies and Muslims and how Muslims all hate poppies and did nothing for us in the war etc.
400,000 Muslims thought in ww1. Again in ww2. 50,000 of them died. British Muslims wear and buy poppies.
A minority find them offensive. But a minority of many groups find them offensive.
I really want to tell these kids that Muslims fought and died in the war and are not offended by poppies. And tell them to educate themselves before they start using such awful language and insults toward a whole race.
