I think it's a little presumptuous for you to believe, definitevely, that suicide-bombings could not happen in Britain/Canada, as there's never been the situation/environment to allow for it (subjugation/marginlization).
Given the lack of evidence, its far MORE presumptious to take the opposite position.
It's, well, it's suicidal!!!

So, just so we get this straight, I'm suggesting we don't know what we're capable of, because we've never been put in that situation, and you're saying we DO know EXACTLY what we would do (not suicide-bomb), despite having no reference of your own. Because this situation has never arisen, there is no 'evidence' pointing one way or the other. Britain taking over Quebec hundreds of years ago does not qualify (hence why I've used the term 'the last 50 years' several times).

In the end, I'm saying it's 'possible'. You seem to be saying, with equal lack of evidence, that it is 'impossible'.
The lack of evidence is the evidence.
There is absolutely nothing to support the Lord Mayor's ridiculous claim that multi-generational Britons would line up to volunteer for suicide bombing runs.

Sounds to me like you're saying, 'because it never happened, it will never happen'. Pretty narrow thinking if you ask me. I'm not sure why you keep pointing out the lack of historical evidence, because, as I've said ad naseum,
we don't know how we would react. There is no 'evidence' pointing one way or the other. It's never happened before. Seriously, I'm surprised you're so convinced as to how we'd act in a scenario we've never witnessed. Wierd.
