18/M/Whitehaven, United Kingdom Join Date: Jun 2007 | kirkhamettesp said: In my point of view i don't really care what religion somebody believes in or what someones skin colur is but what i do have a problem with is when asians come over to England and get council houses then marry someone in pakistan and then bring them over to have about ten kids. In my point of view there are English people out there with no jobs sleeping on the streets and got no money, all because England is to over populated and theres no jobs or coucil houses left for british citizens anymore. I think that it should be stopped. What i also don't like is alot of people can't even walk the streets no more without getting terrorized, beat up or even stabbed and alot of it's all over a little thing called racism and i think it should stop.
Not only is your post a gross exaggeration, no doubt due to a direct experience of the economic effects of immigration, but it seems to be unjustifiably nationalist. The UK is not overpopulated, immigrants do not take priority for council houses, and there are not a vast number of 'English' people sleeping on the streets due to immigration. Your concerns are borne of a fear of the 'bogeyman' of immigration, the idea that a terrifying foreign force is invading your country and destroying your way of life. Simply put, if our borders are going to be closed to those who do not deserve to live here then we must immediately start exiling anyone who is judged to fall into that category, regardless of how many of their ancestors have lived on these isles.
The 21st century is characterised by diversity and tolerance. If someone envisions a better life in the UK, then they should be allowed it. Immigration does not cause problems in itself, racism and patriotism cause those problems. | | |

41/M/Back for now, United Kingdom Join Date: Dec 2005 | OK, as someone who actually lives in a place with lots of asian muslims (A lot commenting on here do not).
Asians do not come over here and get council houses. For various reasons, this is very rare (A look at where the BNP were getting most votes sorta provides a big clue to that though).
"English" people are not sleeping on the street due to immigration. Other reasons yes - but not that.
Coming over and then marrying someone from Pakistan then having 10 kids - well, yes. This is something Labour MP Ann Cryer has been highlighting - and then attracted criticism from the usual suspects who don't like the truth being pointed out. It is a problem in that some problems are being imported - poor language grasp for example, and also some third world ideas into the UK where women actually have rights to choose etc. The MP who is very up on women's rights has pointed this out - but it's one of the "must not says" it seems.
As for having 10 kids, well we can't exactly start saying how many kids people can and can't have. Maybe one day we will have to, but we're a long way off that sort of society yet.
Racial attacks - well this seems to get hushed up, and this is causing resentment. There are increasing attacks on whites by especially asians. Some parts of towns are no-go areas for anyone non-asian - both black and white.
Having said that -the estates on the edge of town are no-go areas for asians - go figure. The whole thing needs debate out in the open without the tossers screaming any attempt at debate down as "racist, racist, racist".
As for the original subject of Islam, lets get some things straight.
Jihad can only be declared on combatants, it can not be declared on general public. Terrorism is unislamic.
Suicide is prohibited, it's haram. Suicide bombers - unislamic.
Racism is prohibited - Islam actually bans it
Still, just like Christians, the followers of Christ who preached loving your neighbour - they've been killing each other and other religions for the last two thousand years arguing on the finer points on just how his love should be shown. It's easy to twist religion.

i wasn't saying immigrants are a problem, personally i don't mind anyone from a war torn country because they have as much right to live here as i do, but as i said i don't agree with pakistani people marrying people from pakistan and then bringing them over and there families. And you say that England is not over populated that's wrong hense the reason new laws have come in about immigration. In my city there is many homeless people with no jobs or money so don't try and tell me there isn't. | | | Edited: May 04, 2008 @ 12:47 | |
