I wonder what the actual proportion would be - Perhaps the watershed shade on your colour chart could be defined with this in mind?bottletop said:There would have been virtually no delays, only a small section of travellers would have been inconvenienced instead of everybody, and innocent muslim travelers would hopefully have realised that these problems stem from within their section of the community and it would be in their best interests to assist in stopping this sort of radicalism in future
