"mass Moslem immigration has been a huge failure..."

"Mass" immigration? UK Muslims make up 2.7% of the population (0.8% in Scotland). Hardly sounds "Mass" to me...

London is one of the largest international cities in the world. Sure, walk through Tottenham in North London on a Saturday afternoon you're gonna see thousands of Muslims. But if you think you're gonna see thousands of old Pakistani men sitting around smoking hookas in Torquay, you obviously know nothing about the UK and have never been there.

Try some fact-checking and "keeping it real" for a change...

Here's some fact checking, smarter-than-the-rest-of-us-guy!

2 million Muslims in the UK, 2.7% of population (2001 census, many more today.) 607,083 in London, 8.5% of the residents (again, many more today.) 6000+ awaiting their asylum requests. (Escapees from Egypt and other places - they must all be dissident democrats, yes?) And this is not 'mass migration'? Since you know it all, tell us how many there were 50 years ago. 100? How many migrants from all of the Communist countries are in the UK? Or from France, why not? South America? And what are unassimilated Muslims, by birth and upbringing hostile to other religions doing in a Christian country?

In the UK, over 8% of the population is foreign born. I would call that a mass migration of population.

But if you think you're gonna see thousands of old Pakistani men sitting around smoking hookas in Torquay, you obviously know nothing about the UK and have never been there.

The Muslims who blew up those trains weren't smoking hookas. Nor were they immigrants They were native born into an immigrant population that Britain has failed to assimilate, and quite possibly never will.

Try some fact-checking and "keeping it real" for a change...

If you think that Muslims blowing up trains isn't real because statistically only 0.00002% of Muslims in the UK have participated in violent acts of mass murder, perhaps you need to "get real" and admit that the UK has not only an immigration problem, but a fundamental cultural problem.

Those Muslims killed over 50 people. If you want to play a statistics game, that is only 0.00008% of the population. But in my part of the world we don't call that an insignificant statistical aberration.
