I notice that you write poetry my dear zan!!!!
And you said about words...here is not just words...its threats and damages and you never know if those threats will be facts soon. Lets hope it wont. Do you think that its the first time that those things happened? The hole story its like a cd...you hear it once and then you put it away for a little bit and then you want it again! You believe that those are just rumours? Those things never happened?
No Lena, they happened and they will happen again. The point is that they are happening all over the world and Greece has been reported as being the most racist country in the world second only to France. I have to drive past a mosque every friday in the UK and since this rubbish that is going on in Iraq, the police have to oversee the prayers not from the Arab attacks but from racists that are attacking them. That does not make every Brit a racist. There have been racist attacks in the south and many more in Greece. There were racist attacks in Cyprus from the RoC government and there were killings but we are constantly asked to forget those and become Cypriots again. Who has more right to refuse????????
I am not saying that you are wrong. I know that all this things happen all over the world...but this doesnt mean that are not racists. If those are Brits, Greeks, Turks or Cypriots...they are racists...If they are not it means that they respect each other in spite of colour, religion and country!!!
