Where’d he get all the money from to open multiple shops?
He most likely saved up the money and also likely had help from his family. Many Muslims have lived very peacefully in Ireland and the United Kingdom for years. Remember Britain had ties to much of the Middle East and India. It was not unusual for sons of well to do families from the region to pursue education in England. These sons legally immigrated and had families and set down roots. Not only that radical Islam had not emerged as a true threat. So it was very unlikely they were influenced by it.
To compare them to recent illegal Muslim immigrants from North Africa and Mid East would be like comparing the Cuban refugees who came after Castro to the Mariel boat people.
It is rather ignorant that so many lump all Muslims together. Doing so makes it more difficult to combat radical Islam. It should also be remembered in most parts of the world where Islam is in the majority the most likely victims of Islamist terror are other Muslims.
Having written that I totally agree that the newer group of illegal or refugee Muslims (especially from Africa) will never assimilate to life in the U.K. Why should they when they are told over and over how evil Britain is and has been in her dealings with former colonies? Why should they when major sexual crimes go unpunished? Why should they when deportation is likely to never happen?
“Where’d he get all the money from to open multiple shops?”
Here in the US they get all kinds of tax advantages that we don’t get, making it hard to compete against them.
They often rotate businesses among themselves to somehow keep their tax breaks coming indefinitely.
