Firstly, I haven’t called you rascist. Secondly the term ‘filthy Asians’ has nothing to do with PC, most people would find it offensive.

You ask why I bring up the number of hispanics moving to the US when the story is about emigration from Britain. Well, the story suggests that it is to do with immigration that people are leaving the UK. If that were true, they why would these people move to countries such as France, Spain, Canada and the US that have higher levels of immigration than the UK? You have turned the argument into a rant about Muslims, when this group only makes up 2-3% of the UK population. I’ll repeat again, the UK faced a far more sustained threat from its Irish community during the Troubles. During that period, would it have been rational for UK citizens to abandon their country because of this group of immigrants? You say that Britain is being flooded by immigrants and that all sane people should leave the UK. This argument is illogical given the fact that the US has far higher levels of immigration to it than the UK. You focus on Muslims, but this group is in the minority of emigration to the UK. Also, many Muslims are decent and hard-working. Look at Muhammed Ali and the British boxers Danny Williams and Amir Kahn. They are not all murderous thugs. I do concede, however, that there is a global problem with a minority of Muslims (fanatics).

I have respect for all peoples. Most immigrants to any country, be they hispanic, Irish,Italian, British etc are merely seeking a better life.

I respect you, Sir, and you opinion: lets have a friendly debate :-)

Interestingly, some of the most ardent Muslim defenders (of moderate Muslims) and Eurabia skeptics are British freepers (and to a large extent other European freepers). And still a lot of non-European freepers don't take much of your collective first hand experience into account and harp on Europe turning into an islamofascist superstate within a century (it could happen, but it's improbable).
