For some reason, this eradication of unique, urban cultures is to be celebrated as “cultural diversity.” Britain’s population is projected to rise by more than seven million in the next 25 years. The predictions were even greater than those made by the Migrationwatch UK think-tank, whose forecasts had been dismissed in the past as alarmist. Sir Andrew Green, the chairman of Migrationwatch, said the figures were “staggering.” “They totally demolish the Government’s claim that it has a ‘managed migration’ policy. In fact they show that immigration into the UK is out of control.” British citizenship has been granted to nearly one million foreign nationals since Labour and Tony Blair came to power in 1997. “Grants of citizenship have quadrupled under the present Government. This is a direct result of their ‘no limits’ immigration policy.” “Immigration on this scale is changing the nature of our society without public consent. It is no longer acceptable.”

I agree that our immigration is slighty too much, however I would like to hear your explanation as to why other religions/races should be grouped based on a few of them?

I have Muslim friends, they enjoy living the British way of life, (one that has experienced immigration from hundreds of countries far long than lots of others) they dont want to kill me or other Brits. They are integrated. Anyone who claims that we have a "Muslim" problem and not an "extremist" problem is talking rubbish... and seeing as pretty much every country has an extremist problem its not realy relevant.

You guys should realy watch "Children of Men". Anyway im listening to some classic fabric D&B, something made from other cultures music i dont give a shit! Think what you wish, doesnt make it true.

Ofcourse. My whole first paragraph is a quote from it. I agree with some of what it says, but far from all of it, tbh i think most of it is islamophobic propaganda.

So you're complaining that the religion of violence is peacefully migrating?

Besides which, the articles own links contradict it.  For example, the article claims that the Muslims are moving into the cities and pushing the non-Muslims out (a ridiculous claim given that non-Muslims would first have to move out to make room for the Muslims) - yet one of the articles talks about about ghettos in France, calling them "high-rise complexes that have been built far away from the city center to house African and Arab immigrants".

Simply; you obviously are ignorant of European, or perhaps even world affairs. You offer nothing here for me to rebuke, as it is all meaningless contradiction.

I invite you to read the article.

It IS becoming a problem, but you ARE missing the point, ATG.

The origin of the problem is not the Muslim religion, the Muslim religion is only used to give themselves a sort of identity they are clearly lacking since they have no education and are rejected by the local society.

Now, in most countries the first immigration started some 50+ years ago, and was mainly due to the new industrial wave and rebuilding efforts after WWII.

Each country had their own immigrants: Belgium attracted Italians and Turks (mines) at first, and then came the people from Morocco (industry). They stayed here, worked hard, and after a few years they brought their families here to live together. No problem so far. They spoke only part of our language, kept most of their habits and customs. The second generation, those who were born here, did not pose a problem either. They had jobs, spoke the language, left the traditional customs for a large part but remained for a part loyal to tradition.

The first problems started some 10 years ago with the third generation Moroccans, they speak the language but left the schools early (due to social conditions), and half educated with no skills in a rapid evolving society, they find no jobs. So part of them turn to crime - you must know that, since it's the same pattern as in the US with the black community several decades ago. One could say the kids of the former immigrants are our Negro's (sorry if this word is not politically correct in the US, I'm not aware of these issues).

They also turn to the sole thing that binds them: religion. It gives them strength and unity against the 'other' people (Christians) who don't want to employ them. So a very small part (maybe 10 in Belgium) of them turns towards violence.

Now about this in particular:

article wrote:

They leave what was once their country in favor of people such as Dyab Abu Jahjah, founder of the Arab European League (AEL). The AEL, founded in Belgium in 2000, now has branches in the Netherlands and France, and intends to spread across the EU. Jahjah, who has called the 9/11 attacks “sweet revenge,” recruits Muslim youth to spread his ideology, which calls for the introduction of sharia in Europe. “We have three basic demands,” he says. “Bilingual education for Arab-speaking kids, hiring quotas that protect Muslims, and the right to keep our cultural customs.” “Assimilation is cultural rape. It means renouncing your identity, becoming like the others.” Jahjah has also demanded that Arabic should be made an official language in Belgium. Belgium’s Jews, in particular Antwerp’s Jewish diamond merchants, have earlier felt threatened by the Arab European League (AEL), which issued a statement: “The AEL calls on the Jewish community in Antwerp to cease its support of, and distance itself from, the state of Israel. If not, attacks in Antwerp are almost unpreventable.”
I live in Antwerp, and let me tell you, this guy Abu is a joke: he came here from Lebanon, claimed he was from hezbollah but didn't want to fight anymore so had to leave the country, got married here, went to university and created a political party to counter the extreme right. His party was ridiculed in recent elections and he was countered by the police on several charges, so he had to go to Holland, and after that he went back to Lebanon (last year).

So to conclude: it is becoming a nuisance that some individuals are using the fact that large parts of uneducated youngsters without a job are unhappy with their situation for their own political agenda and benefit, and try to turn them 'to Islam'.  Give these guys jobs and most of the problems will disappear.

Same in France or elsewhere: youngsters are using their religion because they are unhappy with their situation, not because they are jihad's. Something like the Black panther movement and Malcolm X in the US.

Now, do I get a karma point?

This is about migration, not muslims. Throughout human history there has been massive migration. When the new EU countries economy rises to the rest of Europe migration will swing the other way. People want to go were the good times are. Its just a population shift drove by economics. Its just been dressed up as the usual anti Muslim propaganda.

In Dublin we have problems with Bulgarian mafia type gangs. They are way more ruthless than the IRA gangs they replaced. They aren't Muslims, they are Bulgarians!!! They aren't extorting and murdering in the name of Islam, they do it for profit.

Didn't the founder of Islam lead those conquering armies?

What you are doing would be like blaming the crime in Miami on Cuban immigrants.  Yeah, some of that stuff is crazy, but it's far from being a takeover of an entire city, or NATION, as that article implies.
Ya mean the raise in crime in Miami, ISN'T from Cuban immigrants??
