"British Values" let me see...
Colonialism: Taking land from its original custodians in the name of King and Country
Cricket: Throwing rocks at people of colour for 5 days
Monarchy: Entrenched class system where those at the bottom will remain there whilst those at the top exploit their positions of power
Yeah Im sure there are other examples of british values, but from my POV what "british values" are IS racist elitism.
The BNP or whatever their branding themselves as these days are nothing but backward racist thugs
I. The rule of law. Our society is based on the idea that we all abide by the same rules, whatever our wealth or status. No one is above the law - not even the government.
II. The sovereignty of the Crown in Parliament. The Lords, the Commons and the monarch constitute the supreme authority in the land. There is no appeal to any higher jurisdiction, spiritual or temporal.
III. The pluralist state. Equality before the law implies that no one should be treated differently on the basis of belonging to a particular group. Conversely, all parties, sects, faiths and ideologies must tolerate the existence of their rivals.
IV. Personal freedom. There should be a presumption, always and everywhere, against state coercion. We should tolerate eccentricity in others, almost to the point of lunacy, provided no one else is harmed.
V. Private property. Freedom must include the freedom to buy and sell without fear of confiscation, to transfer ownership, to sign contracts and have them enforced. Britain was quicker than most countries to recognise this and became, in consequence, one of the happiest and most prosperous nations on Earth.
VI. Institutions. British freedom and British character are immanent in British institutions. These are not, mostly, statutory bodies, but spring from the way free individuals regulate each other's conduct, and provide for their needs, without recourse to coercion.
VII. The family. Civic society depends on values being passed from generation to generation. Stable families are the essential ingredient of a stable society.
VIII. History. British children inherit a political culture, a set of specific legal rights and obligations, and a stupendous series of national achievements. They should be taught about these things.
IX. The English-speaking world. The atrocities of September 11, 2001, were not simply an attack on a foreign nation; they were an attack on the anglosphere -on all of us who believe in freedom, justice and the rule of law.
X. The British character. Shaped by and in turn shaping our national institutions is our character as a people: stubborn, stoical, indignant at injustice. "The Saxon," wrote Kipling, "never means anything seriously till he talks about justice and right."
Are you trying to infer that Muslims are not British that they are somehow different. If they live in the UK legally they are as much British as anyone else here.
even the Muslim population themselves to stand up for British values
Some definitions of racism also include discriminatory behaviors and beliefs based on cultural, national, ethnic, caste, or religious stereotypes
In 2001, the European Union explicitly banned racism, along with many other forms of social discrimination, in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the legal effect of which, if any, would necessarily be limited to Institutions of the European Union: "Article 21 of the charter prohibits discrimination on any ground such as race, color, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, disability, age or sexual orientation and also discrimination on the grounds of nationality

Sorry bud in my eyes you thread stinks of racism. Why would you say..Are you trying to infer that Muslims are not British that they are somehow different. If they live in the UK legally they are as much British as anyone else here.

British Culture is made up of a mosiac of different cultures. We all have a lot in common and we have differences too. Racims can take on many forms dont try defending yourself by refering to it as religious hatred. This is a type of racism too..

Like you have American Values in the US of A
Don't you stand and sing the American National Anthem which stands for all things American.
Why don't Muslim extremists stay in, or migrate to, a Muslim Country instead of infiltrating Western Countries? Oh! They don't get any welfare there?
They are predominantly law-abiding citizens who keep their politics and religion to themselves and worship in their own way without trying to influence others.
The reason there are so many 'white brits' (your quote) on the dole is because there are too many migrants (mostly illegal) taking their jobs for a fraction of the wage.
