You're a Muslim in England, a country that eight or nine hundred years ago fought your ancestors in the Crusades. Your lot won, frankly, which is why Jerusalem has been mostly Muslim ever since. Chances are, you're either an immigrant or the son of immigrants, in a country that's been historically Christian since the third century. Moreover, you're in prison in England, which means you did something rotten to the people of your (adopted) country.
And you're offended if the local people wear their national symbol in your presence?
To use a term that's probably equally offensive to Muslims, that's Chutzpah!
