Banjo while I have not yet done so I read the British press every morning.
And all over Europe the signs are there people have had enough.
We are on a slippery slope about ten years, no more behind England.

You will think me stupid, but it is my view the UN and others are trying for one people one world and we are seeing this migration pattern forced on us as first move.
We think of today the UN thinks of a hundred years on, they wast their efforts war will be forced on us long n before that.

Madness? yes purely insane.
A chance however to ask why is the word allowing this purely insane religion to rule?
No hoax! it is true!
And from mainstream British press.
If want a laugh goggle Muslim conspiracy theory,s and see the belief Coke is a western plot to make young Muslims penis drop off!

Islam is an ideology that uses religion as an 'other-self' in its desire for/attempt at World domination and as such should be banned in any country that so desires.

Time is running out.

Belly,

Those Muslim conspiracy theories are a hoot!

Loved this one,

and here's the link to many more,

Have a good laugh but be warned, if you stop to think, you may weep.

Here we go again. Yet another round of fear-and-loathing.

Based on what?

"One example being in 2010 it was revealed that over 50% of Muslim men and over 75% of Muslim women were economically inactive in the UK."

The "statistic" that starts it all off came from this 2010 report:

http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/key-projects/how-fair-is-britain/full-report-and-evidence-downloads/

The report details all the factors associated with Muslim unemployment in the UK, including:

"...male Muslim unemployment is 9% compared to the national average of 5%." p.405

...and...

"The proportion of Muslim people who have never worked, are long-term unemployed or students or do not have a class specified, is much higher than for Christian people (46% compared to 17%) partly reflecting the much younger age profile of this group" p.708

Using carefully-selected "statistics" to generate antipathy towards a particular group of people is a tactic as old as the hills. As is the classification of individuals into easy targets by the press, designed to fuel existing preconceptions and prejudice, in order to sell newspapers. Especially the Daily Mail...

>>No hoax! it is true! And from mainstream British press.<<

The percentage of the UK population who are Muslim? 4.8%

'Nuff said.

Dear Banjo,

You sound like my younger brother (he's a Principal of a
Catholic School). And many of my other relatives also have
the same fears - including my husband. I don't like to
pre-judge people no matter what their religion, race,
colour, et cetera. I take people as I find them and in most
cases I've been pleasantly surprised. I think that human beings
are the most extraordinary creatures, and a big part of me still
wants to reach an even greater understanding of who we are.
Not because I need to know more, necessarily, but because I
am drawn to the process of discovery.

In this country we've gone through various stages of fearing
the "differences" in our newcomers to this land - and together
through interaction and discussion have managed to sort a
great many of our problems out. We're still a work in progress,
of course. Frankly, I don't see a problem with Muslims - because
the percentage of our population of Muslims is so small (as
Pericles pointed out - as they also are in the UK). So I can't
see them making such a huge impact here. Besides religious
laws have no legal status in this country - and people do have
to obey our laws or take the consequences.

Your fears are understandable. But I'm sure given time they
will prove to be unwarranted. Anyway, Thank You for your
concern - especially about archaic customs like FGM - which
you've raised in the past
