    i look at it it stereotypes.
    it's a stereotype that a lot of Indians own 711s and hotels but statistically we do.
    it's also a stereotype that we work in IT and are doctors, we do have an over-representation there as well.

    in the same way, I look at the stereotype of Jews having a large influence in media and banking as based on the fact it probably stems from some level of truth. Why else would it be there ?

    And if our Muslims are basically Britons living the Muslim faith why the need to push them out?

    Uhh... on it! Drill Baby Drill!

    The US has virtually no foreign policy successes in the last 20 years, except those deriving from our booming energy industry, making us wealthier and our enemies poorer... and of course the left will do everything it can to stop and reverse that.

    For once we agree on something....sorta....I want to see a Manhattan Project to make Fusion energy practicable. Fusion is the total Holy Grail of Power for everyone, the Energy Singularity; completely clean, completely safe, completely cheap and completely unlimited, (well, for the next billion years or so). And please spare me the BS about "25 to 50 years, maybe more (maybe never)" Many scientists even up until the late 1930's, thought that a Fission bomb MIGHT be made by the year 2000 with Fission power maybe a century later, what if we'd listened to them in 1941?

    Good points. When it comes to nuclear power, we really don't understand it, we have, essentially recipes that work, and work well, but we have no understanding of the strong nuclear force. In fact, all we really do with nuclear power is boil water and then use steam to spin turbines. I hope that as we come to better understand the basic units of matter that we find much more efficient means of converting it to energy, perhaps fusion. Another massive source of power might come from taping into the heat at the core of the earth. But, until then, fossil fuel, hydroelectric and safer nuclear seems to be the tools available.

    The English need to establish safe spaces from Muslims.

    And this adds to the discussion how?
    This forum needs a safe space from ignorant and pointless statements.

    because Muslims have struggled to assimilate into British culture compared to Hindus and Jews.
    you don't see calls to end immigration from India, do you ?

    Muslims, Hindus and Jews have all been a part of British culture for centuries. All three faiths try hard to retain their religious values and are guilty of forming small enclaves amongst themselves just like the British ex-pats in Spain who refuse to learn the local language and reject the local cuisine in favour of fish and chips and (ironically) curry houses.
    This failure to give up your culture is by no means exclusive to the Muslim faith.
    And yes, some xenophobes do indeed call for an end to immigration from India. Also from the West Indies, Africa and even from white Christian Europeans.

    However continuing to maintain the more violent aspects, such as murdering homosexuals, adulterers, and female genital mutilation, is exclusive to the muslim faith.

    Muslims are different, they differ in their difference with western society. Whereas Hindus, Buddhists, Jews and others can assimilate in varying degrees, none of these manifests the strength of their desire to impose their different faiths on westerners Muslims have. They may proselytize and some preach their religious views, but none exhibit the degree of support for an effort to make their hosts like the society they fled.

    Perhaps you can quote sources for homosexuals and adulterers being murdered by Muslims in the UK.
    If there are cases then I'm sure they would have been dealt with by the police just like any other murder.

    No mention of such in the united kingdom was made. Only that the muslim religion still maintains the practice of such acts/

    WTF does that have to do with the London bridge attack?
    It wasn't the IRA or Bruce Willis while we are on the subject of what it wasn't.

    An attack committed by a member of a religion that is known for being exceptionally violent and intolerant of quite literally everything. The attack was the rule, not the exception.

    Not as succinct as my post but perhaps more effective. Bravo.

    Then explain why the 3 million plus Muslims in the UK only make a handful of attacks per decade.
    If their religion was exceptionally violent there would be hundreds of attacks each day.

    I think it would take that for you to finally recognise that global jihad is a reality. Until then you'll continue to live in your little bubble of naivete.

    There are indeed hundreds of attacks being committed by muslims each day. Simply because they are not all being committed in the united kingdom exclusively, does not mean anything.

    NO GOOD DEED… Manchester bomber was rescued by the Royal Navy from Libyan warzone and evacuated back to Britain – three years before he slaughtered 22 people at a pop concert.
