Article from the people.co.uk website regarding increasing extremism going on in the UK.

it would be interesting to hear from my Brit bros as to what they think about this?
The people is a well known sunday paper.

Honestly, this wouldn't come as a suprise to most brits Muslim or not.

the majority of Muslims are like us, just have diffrent beliefs. what shocks me is tho, how these idiots act, they make out as if they have such a hard life here its a fucking joke. This country is a fucking joke...

Last Christmas; more than one town BANNED Christmas, they renamed Christmas lights to "festive lights" they banned Santa clause in shops etc FFS (what you done in your own house was up to you) they had lights etc but they were all to be called 'festive lights/tress...'

An old lady who had collected porcelain pigs and had them showing on her windows was ordered to move them out of site as they 'offended' the Muslims who seen them!

Alton Towers (one of the biggest theme parks in the UK) a couple had booked to have their honeymoon there (god knows why but they did) they had booked the hotel in the park, friends and family were going. some time later they had a letter from the people at Alton Tower informing them that due to some clerical error they had booked their time there on a "Muslim weekend" A Muslim weekend there means women have to wear cloths covering the knees down, covering the shoulders, all rides were to be seregate (all male all female no intergender ride sharing) BUT the gracious Muslim leader of the event would allow the newlyweds to enter the park providing they abide by the rules...

Can anyone tell me one other country apart from this ass backwards one where Muslims get so much rights? they have it fucking easy here! Can you imagine going to Mecca and because your a birt wearing a short skirt and a tube top in their searing heat? fuck me they would stone you on the spot, but Muslims can go anywhere they want and wear what they want.

I really have no problem with any creed, colour, religion or sexuality for that matter. But one thing i always believed in is if you go to a chosen country, you abide by their rules. The uk is/was a Christan country, personally i have no religion, don't believe in it, it pisses me off to be perfectly honest, but the UK is a Christan nation. When these Muslims and what-nots try to change thing imo they should be told like it or go somewhere else. No way would and Muslim country ever change to make Christians feel welcome.

The sad thing is though, from ready what i have written so far it misleads you to believe allot of Muslims are like this, when the fact is they in large hate these changes as much as we do, as it will fuel hatred and racism. There was something printed a few years ago, where as business owners could be liable for a law suit for having Christianity symbols in their work place..

Say you owned a law firm, and you were a devout Christian, you had say Jesus on a cross in your office, or the statue of a the virgin marry. If you had a Muslim working there they could claim legal damages for having to look at these items. The sad thing is though, that this was done purly by the government being assholes, Jews and Muslims where coming out and saying that this was stupid and trying to distance them selves from this fearing the repercussions.

In general i have nothing against the Muslims, most seem to lead a life of their own beliefs and keep them selves to them selves, and as long as they don't try to impose their beliefs on anyone else, who really cares? its just the minority who like spoiled children, have been given so much, don't appreciate it and wont so much more.

Since you live there, have you seen a surge of extremism there?
Its only in major city's, people who use allot of public transport who if anyone would worry. Our intelligence are in fairness pretty spot on and have stopped numerous attempts of 'terrorism' since the bombings back in July 05. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings

Muslims see to do their own thing mainly down to one of their biggest beliefs of not drinking. They only alcohol they can drink is mead, and goodluck finding that at your local. Most people seem to socialise at a pub, club - somewhere where you can get rat ass'd lol but they can't
