british empire

That's a load of BS Ladyperson, the Muslims hated everyone long before there was a British Empire. The Empire was the most glorious institution in known history. They say the sun never set on it; this was because it covered so much of the earth's surface (east/west) that there was never a time when it was not daytime in some part of the empire. Britain's power and Empire was founded upon its powerful navy and its command of the seas, something which itself grew out of its status as an island nation.
