I think they panicked. They thought it was going to go racist. 
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic

Do you think GNHQ, you could possibly tell us why this thread was deleted.
Thanking you very kindly.

Or, rather - Racist? 
Oh come on! 
Muslims are not a 'race', are they?
Nothing to do with implications of racism anywhere - but sermonising is against our forum rules. As we've said before - we're delighted to have all/any religions discussed and represented as long as the posts stick within our guidelines (which - of course - goes for all threads on all subjects)
What on earth do you mean by that?! 
I'm not shrugging anything off!
I meant what I said. I thought perhaps GNHQ were worried it might turn into something racist. I was wrong, as Cari's explanation shows.
I appreciate there are muslims in many races, as there are jews, Christians, etc. etc. I don't need anyone here to tell me basic facts thank you.
and if you can't get your head round that, well............... !
johanna The word Jew refers to a race as well as to someone who follows a religion.
j04 You can't just use words willy nilly to mean whatever you like in the manner of Humpty Dumpty. Or at least not if you expect other people to follow what you're talking about.
Oops! Missed the post out!
