It doesn't change the thrust of my point at all, but in my attempt at a bare minimum I think it is safest to call it 'it'. A 'he' is still also an 'it'.

i think it best to keep to how the muslims describe their god which i am assured is masculine.

Not entirely sure why this has affected me quite so much.
I can't believe I missed a vigil in Bristol yesterday - probably would have met some of my French ex-colleagues.

Hardly.
I think it depends on the space you're in when it happens.

Do you find yourself equally affected by the prospect of British forces raining bombs upon Arabs?

Let me guess - when that happened, you were equally cynical?

Given that they have been marching in Dresden recently against a sort of colonisation by Islam, that kind of solidarity is well needed.

Where is that?
Not sure what precise German term they use but in the UK, people like Farage would call it "Islamisation".
It's pretty well documented...

yeh but do you believe in this colonisation or islamisation or whatnot?

No, of course not.
However, I believe things are, as per usual, a little more complex than, on the one hand, the left point of view (a bunch of random nutters who aren't representative of anything of any meaning at all and who, in any event, are to a degree justified, exculpated or generally explained by our sins), and on the other hand, the right point of view (a vicious psychopathic religious culture that makes these things inevitable and that needs to be forcibly controlled, expelled, exterminated etc).
The truth probably lies somewhere between the two on that spectrum, most likely dynamically moving all the time.
That links to a report about a march by Islamophobes in Germany.
To speak of an Islamic "colonization" of the West is nonsense. Colonization is when you invade with armies and that. It's a bit more serious than insisting on wearing a burka.
