Only The Brits Could

This one reminds me of a scene from "Band of Brothers" wherein a British tank refuses to fire through a building after an American infantry unit tells the tank commander that a German panzer is on the other side of it. The Brit explains that he can't destroy private property without an imminent threat. The German panzer then proceeds to blast the Brit out of existence...

It's Europe's fault? :S

It's Europe's fault that Muslims are having a problem? How many countries are in Europe and it's each country's fault that Muslims over there are feeling victimized? Excuse me but is someone stopping them from leaving?
