Thankyou so much for your reply and explaining everything. I haven't had a chance to come back on here for the last couple of weeks but I really appreciate you taking the time to post. We were always brought up to ask questions if you don't understand something rather than pass judgement, as people tend to appreciate the opportunity to explain...so Thankyou.

As an update, shortly after I stood up to this gentleman I got blocked (no surprises really, but just goes to show how extremely childish and ignorant this man was) I fear even if he had someone that followed the Islam faith sitting in front of him he would still not listen.
