This conclusion is more accurate than yours.

Oh, I'm sorry brother, I did not mean that comment offensively, although now I've reread it, I realise the way I've worded it can come across as offensive, and I apologise for that.

It was more of a question than a statement.
We've had a big influx of refugee Kosovans and Albanians into the UK after the war. It was after the influx that we saw a phenomenon in London, something we'd not seen before - women carrying babies, and begging for money on the Tube, which is our underground train system. They also come outside the mosque on Friday after Juma prayers. They are dressed quite distinctly. It's less common now, but I always used to wonder why it was always women with little babies, and where their menfolk were.
