It is not a sweeping generalisation, it is my personal judgement based upon
my preferences of which you know very little about. I have nothing against
anyone unless they take issue with me. From the information I have read I do
not believe I know of a muslim country that would be nice to live in, but
because I do not know (and that is why I used the word do not know) means I
can be persuaded In the face of evidence to the contrary. As I say in an
earlier post, I would be happy to visit the counties and meet the people,
who I gather are generally hospitable and friendly, like most people in the
world. I just love living where I am. The nastiness resides in your
interpretation, not the sentence.
Regards
Steve
