And I repeat, you get tribalistic arseholes everywhere but it does not permeate the culture like it does in the Arab countries.

Our culture for better or worse is more inclusive and less divisive.

Find any period of history it can be as long or as short as you like, and find an Arab country that is fighting more wars that Britain at the same time.
What your spouting is prejudice pure and simple.
