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.

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.

i dunno, bulls**t, there's plenty for everyone so far.
it seems like paronia, immigration has been extremely important and productive throughout history.

its important to control it of course but it certainly hasdn't hit crisis levels or anything, its just a scapegoat to focus on when the economy takes a downturn.

The only Muslims forcing there religion on non-Muslims are the extremest Muslims.

The non-extremest Muslims are probably the nicest people you will ever meet.

also in response to the original thread the qur'an is no more violent than the bible,
its all in interpretation.

just as the bible has been used to promoteviolence and hatred in the past (and today i guess) the qur'an is being used today by many people.
but not that many, extremists just get more attention no matter what issue you're discussing.

with all respect to that post alex if you ever take a walk down an area where alot of immigrants live (say millfield in peterborough) then you'll see why people are getting pissed off. it was a nice area years ago and now all i see is crap just thrown all over the streets and its a no go area for alot of non asians thats not paranoia thats experience of the place

thing is its not their individual fault, its just what theyre used to in their own country so it ends up over here much the same. theres fines going about for littering so why not if your found to be throwing your junk out on the street, then your made to clean it up! (thats whites as much as anyone before anyone starts )

When i lived in Leeds the majority of my neighbours were muslims and to be fair they were more kind and considerate than many of the white people that lived on my street! From my own personal experiences muslims are generally very tolerant of different cultures and belief systems and just want to live a quiet peaceful life like many of us do. Obviously you get exceptions to the rule and muslims who are extremists, but then again i see various other religious extremists every time i go shopping in town trying to sell jesus to me or whatever other religion they may be following. From what i witnessed in Leeds it was very often i'm ashamed to say white people who began any arguments in the street etc between race, culture and religion. I think people should take more time learning about different countries, cultures and religions... then maybe a lot of the hear say that tends to fly around would decrease to a certain degree. I've found in life don't judge a person on their colour, race, sexuality or religion judge the person on how you find them as an individual i know it works for me but hey that's just my thoughts on the subject and i don't expect everyone to agree with them

A lot of immigrants just need to be educated more on our culture, because they have come from a very different background to us so what they deem as acceptable is very different to what we think is. In my town the council have actually started going around cleaning up the rubbish people just leave in their gardens and on the streets etc and then send the individuals a nice big bill funnily enough the towns looking a lot cleaner as many people don't want to receive a second bill it might seem like tough tactics but it's working, so maybe it's essentially a good idea and the rest of the country should adopt it

what they should do first is at least tell them to clean it up themselves and if they refuse, then send a bill. i dont like this nano culture of instant fines and charges for any little thing, theres other solutions before you have to do that
