Carson is a highly educated man. It wasn't so long ago that people were saying that about black people, and as a black person, he should really know better than to try to replace one form of prejudice with another.

Peter Pedant // I'll add a new one: the exemption from rules of hygiene granted to Muslim doctors and nurses. //

do you have a reference ?
the only ones I can think of is
RCs and abortion - statutory exemption on doing or assisting ///
You're doubly wrong. The catholic nurses were (infamously) forced to assist on the abortion ward.

"But I for one, and I am a minority voice on here, but not alone, do not believe that incoming Muslims automatically want to change British society to reflect their customs and faith."
What? You've personally met and quizzed the 23 refugees who Britain has accepted so far?
Are you planning to interview the other 19,977 or at least brief them about the western way of life?
Saudi Arabia, for one example, firewalls their trunk connection to the internet such that only "approved" versions of the outside world can get in. Syria might have done likewise, to lock out anti-Assad dissent.
We know they are attracted by what they've seen of the west but I have to wonder how much they haven't yet seen because it was getting filtered out. Until they are dispersed to separate towns there will be crowds of them milling around encoutering people and behaviours that fundamentalists often object to. Only then will we discover just how broad minded they actually are.

"sorry I was taking you seriously for a moment ...."
Do you mean there is NOT an exemption, then, Peter, or are you trying to make some more subtle point?
"The guidance is intended to provide direction to services in how they can balance infection control measures with cultural beliefs without compromising patient safety."
Note the word "balance". I take this sentence to mean: "We can't allow concern for hygiene (important as that is) to OUTWEIGH concern for the (equally important) cultural sensitivities of our Muslim fellow citizens".
As you have a wider knowledge and understanding of languages
than I perhaps you'd tell me in what way I've got it wrong?
