it's probably a bible-belt trailer-park cult-like christian follower who is president of the Huckabee fan club

...or perhaps these are just the countries where homosexuality isn't punishable by stonings or even death.

I don't think that necessarily negates the information contained therein.

I am sceptic but not pessimistic, but this is one of the reasons we need an European constitution, clearly stating the seperation between Church and state.

Let us find them together. If you recall my OP you'll notice I wrote "If the information contained in this video is to be believed..." so I've not taken it as gospel myself. Until we find some facts to back up the video, all I can impart is my own observations.
My own observations are that not only do Muslim families in Europe have many more children than European families, but the Muslim community is granted increasing special rights and exceptions:
Sniffer dogs to wear ‘Muslim’ bootees
MUSLIMS CAN CLAIM BENEFITS FOR SEVERAL WIVES, SAY MINISTERS
Sharia courts operating in Britain
Schools to close on Muslim holidays in order to cut absence rates

But the EU Constitution (if that's what you're talking about) is one of the reasons Britain - and all other member 'states' - are legally obliged to absorb masses of immigrants from Islamic countries in the first place.

1) Is anything WRONG happening here?

2) What would be the relative importance of such a thing as 'culture' when compared to freedom and equality?

3) Should something be done to stop islamic immigration? Should people be denied entry into the UK (for example) on the basis of their religion? Should they be denied on the basis of the STRENGTH of their beliefs?
Originally posted by Cythraul
Yes, but the blame should not necessarily be placed upon Muslims themselves. What's wrong is that the ancient heritage(s) and bloodstained liberties of Europe are endangered.
Originally posted by Cythraul
To me, culture is freedom and equality - particularly in this case. The Islamic way of life is not for me. Islamic countries are free to have it as far as I'm concerned, but I don't want it. Islam is the more forceful of the Abrahamic faiths and so I would definitely see it as something that will diminish my freedom.

For Britain to stay British, it is vital that the majority of the people in Britain are British. Otherwise, it is no longer Britain.
Originally posted by Cythraul
Britain is overpopulated as it is. Muslim or not, it's wrong that the British government have no meaningful immigration policy.
we get into dangerous waters.

Does YOUR "I don't want it" have to be forced on to the (however many) muslims who are also sharing your country? Do they have to suffer because of YOUR "I don't want it"?
Originally posted by babloyi
People in this thread are going on very vehemently about how Islam is restricting their freedoms and such in the UK, but I haven't really seen any examples
Originally posted by babloyi
I see nothing wrong with you holding this opinion, but I would shudder if such a thing was advocated on a governmental scale. "Nationalistic purity" is not a nice idea, and just a few steps away from racism. I'd hope it is something that stays stuck in the 19th century.
Originally posted by babloyi
Besides, even if immigration is completely stopped, will this stop the trend that was mentioned in the video? What happens then, to all the procreating muslims who are already IN the UK? What would be the next step "against" them?
Originally posted by Cythraul
You may have been pre-programmed to automatically associate the word "heritage" with "nationalism", and in turn "nationalism" with "evil". But if you can, forget these word assocations for a moment and explain to me exactly what is wrong with acknowleding one's ancient heritage and the fact that one's ancestors fought and died to defend the freedoms some nations have enjoyed.

But I believe that a nation belongs primarily to its indigenous population and the destiny of a nation should be primarily determined by its indigenous population. This would be (and is) a perfectly acceptable attitude when pertaining to any other ethnic group. Would the Japanese affirm that the nation of Japan should be governed by ethnic Japanese? Would Pakistanis affirm that their nation should be governed by ethnic Pakistanis? Yes, quite clearly. And furthermore, no right-minded person in the Western World would ever support the idea that these folk should be subjected to the wants and wishes of recent immigrants.

However, if Islam were to gain dominance in Britain, it's a foregone conclusion that my way of life would be forced to change.
Originally posted by Cythraul
Who said anything about "purity"? Britain will always harbour ethnic minorities. What's factually important is that for Britain to remain British, the demographic, cultural and spiritual majority should remain with the indigenous British people.

"Against" them? I'd suggest that for the sake of intelligent debate, you try not to presume that all of your opponents are horrible people.

If Muslims were not privvy to exceptions from common law that allow them to claim benefits for multiple wives, and if Muslims were expected to integrate fully into the British way of life, they may no longer have the means nor motive to expand their communities so drastically.
