I'm actually a bit disturbed by this...still at least we dont have 'Osama' in the list yet. Give it time.

As a liberal, I find it disturbing that you would find it unsettling.  Are you a bigot?

Who says Afleitch is a Liberal? If I recall correctly he leans Conservatives but is undecided between them and the Labour party.

Red avatar.

So? Everyone with a red avatar isn't a liberal just like everyone with a blue avatar isn't a conservative.

I made an assumption.  Get it?  Quit derailing this thread.

Why are you threatened by Muslims moving into a country?

Something against Mohammed Ali?

Yes.   It is bad for the economy, civil rights, and boys that like to kiss other boys.  You'll forgive me for not being thrilled if something like that were to happen where I live.

I don't like Pakis and Muslims and Islam either, for that reason.  They kill gay people, something which I find a little unnervering.

Britain's non Muslim population may outnumber the Islamic population for now, but that population is aging and the Pakis are taking over the place from what I hear.  One Brit was telling me how entire villages in New Pakistan was speaking nothing but their own language(s), wish English hard to find.

It is a very sad thing.

Well, from the CIA World Factbook...

Population of the UK: 60,270,708
Muslims in the UK: 1,500,000
...as a percent of the population: 2.49%

That doesn't exactly seem like an epidemic to me.  The fact that "Mohammed" is so high indicates to me more the fact that so many Muslims are named Mohammed than the idea that Muslims are taking over the UK.

You know, all that is needed to start an epidemic is a virus like smallpox.  One single virus.

I lived with Muslims in my student days and found them to be the warmest, kindest people I could hope to meet - In other words, it would be wrong to tar everyone with the same brush. Besides, homophobia is not quintessentially a Muslim problem. Look at the Christian right.

They don't have public executions of homosexuals.

You know, I don't want to integrate with them.  They can integrate with me and become like me.  I really have no desire to see women being unable to drive and homosexuals stoned to death.  Sorry.

Richius: "P*ki" is equivilent to "N*gger". Don't use it please.

*shrug* Not over here.  I don't use it as a racial slur, so don't read it as one.
