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.

Get the vitamug. A loyalist song well known to anyone residing in Norn Iron, as well as to many people in Scotland, particularly Glasgow
It was old but it was beautiful, and the colours they were fine,
It was borne at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne,
And me father wore it in his youth in the bygone days of yore,
And on the 12th I love to wear the sash my father wore.

Get the doinkmug. An (in)famous drum played by Orangemen (of the Orange Order) in Northern Ireland.
It is massive, about 3 feet in diameter, and its two drumheads are made of goat skin.
When fully tightened, a lambeg is utterly deafening, with a noise output of 115 - 120 decibels. When nearby you don't just hear it.. you *feel* the subsonics all through your chest and gut. It can be heard 5-6 miles away.
The drum is played with two bamboo canes about 2 feet long each. It is carried like a bass drum. (But much bigger than a bass drum... makes the dude playing it look like an ant balancing a crumb.)
Commonly used as tools of intimidation, with drummers working shifts to keep the almost tribal-sounding drumming going through the night, in clear earshot of the "other side" (Catholics).
