Religion Declining, Immigration Rising

[Mick-Talbot]

Although an increase here........Muslim, 2.7 million people or 4.8% of the population, up from 1.8% in 2001.

Colour is irrelevant – but mindset isn’t. People seek to justify high immigration numbers by banging on about Jews and West Indians, etc, who have come here in the past, but there’s one big difference between them and the influx of Muslims we’re now accepting – and that is intention. Many Muslims are reluctant to integrate, and many would like to see the flag of Islam flying here – and that should concern everyone, whatever their colour.

As for crime, if 20% of young offenders come from the Muslim population of 4.8%, that is not an insignificant figure.

Naomi, but you and others like you will be seen as bashing the followers of Islam, i however have a tendency to agree with your post. I have said before and was loudly condemned for saying so, that one day that those who follow Islam will rule here in Britain, provided someone hasn't pressed a nuclear device and we all go the way of the dodo. I heard this morning that North Korea has set off a nuclear device, not exactly sure why, where, i only heard a snippet about it on the radio, but that doesn't bode well either does it.

Don't forget that in the 4.8% Muslims, there are plenty of white indigenous converts, too - they're not all immigrants.

Em, //you and others like you will be seen as bashing the followers of Islam,//

That’s fine by me. I will continue to metaphorically bash the followers of Islam who want to impose their will on this country.

Boxy, that’s irrelevant. They’re Muslim and therefore, they are included in the figures.

It's not irrelevant to part of the discussion, naomi, which suggested that all the Muslims are incomers and that immigration is the reason behind these stats.

not something to aspire to is it really. After all the trials and tribulations this country has gone through to get a degree of equality and decent education for women, you have this, not my idea of a good trade. Perhaps they do it if their partner is a follower of Islam.

i wouldn't want to belong to any religion that thinks it's ok to strap bombs to their chests and blow innocent men women and children to kingdom come, nor indeed wish to see us take this retrograde step in our evolutionary tale.

Nor would I, em, but those are the very few extremists - witness the IRA, they were a handful amongst the wider populations.

But with a lot of support ....
