    Well, you're wrong, but I'll let you ramble on with your waffle and tripe anyway. According to the 2001 census, there are around 1.6 million Muslims in the UK. That will, of course, have grown closer to 2 million since 2001, but it is nowhere near the figure you're suggesting. The massive flaw in your reasoning is that you've forgotten that minorities, and especially religious minorities, tend to congregate in certain areas, populous cities especially, with high concentrations of Muslims in London, Birmingham and the North of England. There are next to no ethnic minorities in Suffolk where I live, probably under 1% of the population of Suffolk is Muslim. The same would be true of places like Devon and other rural areas which remain predominantly white even in the cities. Your trouble is that you've just made sweeping generalisations based on your personal everyday experiences, generalisations which are, frankly, wrong....

    Why is it that when a question is asked that contains the word muslim the word racist allways comes up?

    Uh, because qestions like "Are muslims taking over Europe?" are often asked by ignorant racists. Not always. Sometimes by the just plain ignorant. But obviously talks about a certain group of people are going to bring up peoples perceptions of differences and their names for the little catagories theyve wanted to make, like "race"

    Because people asking those sorts of questions often stray into the territory of racists when they come to expand upon their point. It is, of course, good that people should question religion. I'm an atheist. Ideologically, I'm opposed to all religion, including Islam. But that does not mean that I should take that and turn it into a prejudiced approach to people holding different values to myself, or extend it further and make it about their culture, or about the colour of their skin. As Lithium said, it is one thing to hate Islam, another to hate Muslims. Equally, it is one thing to question Islam, another to question people's right to practice it in this country....

    And the massive flaw in your argument is that you think the only muslims in the uk are brown, there are hundreds of thousands of east European muslims here and many more illegally, also there is a significant number of muslims who refused to co-operate with the census and do not register to vote. you also ignore the fact that you do not have to state your religion on the census that is optional.
    the fact is that you can tell the figure isnt 2 million because if that were the case can you tell me which cities dont have muslims at all in them ? because there are 50 cities. so lets just say 1/20th of muslims live in london - that's 100,000 take an average household where there are 4 people per house and thats 25,000 houses - thats not right, you only have to visit newham to realise you gotta be looking at 25,000 in that part of london alone. so lets call it 33% live in london
    still sounds low but what the hell? so thats 660,000 in london
    so thats 1,340,000 divided over 49 other cities
    so your saying that in all them other cities theres an average of 27300 muslims
    so of all the houses in birmingham only about 6000 belong to a muslim family

    PIFFLE !!!!

    I predict that in 20 years time, Britain will become an Islamic State under Sharia law. This is according to certain newspapers and politicians. Of course this is not concrete fact, but I believe that London is top destination, due to its cultural diversity. The question is, how would Sharia Law work in the UK? Do you believe Sharia Law will ever get the go ahead?

    sharia law and any of its exponents can suck mine and 30 million other peoples dicks before that gets through - I would start building barricades and preparing for a battle to get them arseholes out of this country

    oops I made a mistake actually theres 50 cities in england not Britain
    so it kinda looks like the argument that theres only 2 million mussies in Blighty is even more flawed
    Also dont listen to Versau the troll - whoever they are is just dogging me all over hips

    Ive heard 2.8 m Asians in Britain ( 2.33 m acc to the last census) , but u dont have to fill in your religion on the census.Birmingham has about 380 000 muslims out of 1m in the city.I also read that 20 odd percent of 25 to 30 year olds are non white in Britain.Frankly with illegal immigrants , the figure must be higher than the census says.
    Demographically , the white proportional will shrink in eth future( due to larger Asian families)
    Im appalled at ec migrants with a fundamentalist agenda who seek to alter Britain's secular values.Its amazing how they say amongst themselves what a "good country" ie soft touch Britain is.And how they love Britain when they wanna get a visa here.

    Really I think it was the greed of the Establishment to push down wages that caused the clash of cultures we see today.
    Many Asians are good , sound people , but as far as Im concerned Im not gonna compromise 1 inch on Britains secular values against fundamentalist claptrap( whether thats CHristian , Muslim or whatever).

    PS Rah , with that name , I wondered if u were Muslim LOL
