I'm personally worried I might see the next English civil war in my time, I think if Brown makes it through the next general elections, we will be seeing a lot more of what the OP is talking about.

Like a slightly less mental Ann Coulter.

Moronic? Well you and I, an ocean apart are doing that right now. But we're also sharing it with many more who love the lands that have taken them in as much as we do.
Political borders frankly are part of the problem at times.
Every single person on this planet is equal. Lets work to the good of us all and stop using division to fuel our economies and societies. It is LUDICROUS that we've done it for so long.
I don't buy the nihlist agenda on this at all unless they make it happen. Seems to me thats was going on here and i don't support them at all. Talked with friends about this since starting to read this thread, none have agreed at all with it.

Why are there very few moderate Muslims speaking out about the extremists?
Many middle of the road Brits feel disenfranchised in their own country, we have to accomodate others culture and beliefs loosing our own in the process.
A book written about the nursery rhymn 'The Three Little Pigs' has been banned from schools incase it upsets Muslims, Christmas being called Winterfest, the police having to take their shoes off before entering a Muslim home a bank who charges Muslim customers less for going overdrawn.
We are a country who has had immigration for many hundreds of years, and yes we have at times not been fair and just with different races but now the pendulum has swung to far the other way.
I dislike the BNP and would not give them the time of day, but unless our government gets to grips with the situation they alas will grow in popularity.
I am not a racist my daughter is in a relationship with a Hindu, my sons partner is of mixed race and I come from an immigrant background.

For a few months, I have been reading threads here about UK/immigration/muslims trying to understand the specific British problems and perceptions.
UK is not a hotspot for immigration as stated somewhere in this thread or at least not the hottest spot in Europe. In percentage, France, Germany, Spain have larger immigrants population. UK has an average percentage in Europe. In millions of immigrants, UK is behind France and very far behind Germany. In the last 10/15 years, immigration has risen dramatically in Spain from 2% to more than 10%, it has created problems but not the acute ones you seem to have. There are much more muslims in France or Germany than in the UK.
How come it looks like it's going out of hands in the UK ? The answer is not that you have a higher number of immigrants or muslims.
