Queen sanctions first ever Muslim prayer room

Daily Mail ^

Sorry, I know some people like to believe the worst, but it's not going to happen.

I hope that's true.

But I can't help thinking that the same thing was said by a lot of
Christians in the Middle East as the Muslims raped, murdered and
pillaged their way into possession of The Middle East, North Africa and
the Iberian Peninsula.

The scary part this time...is they are more subtle and have learned how
to make nice on occassion.

Not today, not next week. But how's that population breakdown going to look in 2030

I'm not sure, but they're certainly going to have to do some SERIOUS shagging between now and then to overcome an almost 30:1 ratio!

[Canard]

Even that figure is making an assumption that all the people counted as 'Muslim' in the UK census would vote in favour of the introduction of Sharia law. Which is not the case at all.

[Uncledave]

How pet, we'd best get on with a shag or yer soon be wearin' a burqua, tho in yer case it's a good idea.

[Da_Shrimp]

Which is not the case at all.

Absolutely true... there are many Muslims in the UK who love the freedoms here and would not support the introduction of Sharia in any way.

[Uncledave]

Kidding aside, if muslim birthrates exceed native rates by say 2 to 1 (I think natives are at about 1.5 kids per female, with muslims over 3.0), then your 30:1 ratio will be cut in half in a couple of generations, even without immigration.

[Da_Shrimp]

LOL: Viz fan, eh?

[Da_Shrimp]

I think it's rather more complex than that. Immigrant birthrates tend to be higher in any Western country, but this difference shrinks as the new generation takes on Western ways.

Immigration to the UK is more strictly controlled than it was 20 years ago and as I said before, our main source of immigrants is now from Eastern European countries that have recently joined the EU. The strength of our economy and low unemployment rate is what attracts them here. We're expecting even more when Romania and Bulgaria join the EU in January!

[butternut_squash_bisque]

I wouldn't doubt it one bit. (no sarcasm intended)

[Uncledave]

Yep, big Viz fan. I spent quite a bit of time in London and got hooked.

On your other post, I truly hope British culture holds on, not that nothing changes in life. If push came to shove, there would come a time when Europeans would say, "enough".

[sageb1]

"This is news?"

Evidently, the British Daily Mail thought so. I highly doubt one Brit speaks for all Brits.

[Canard]

And prior to that, someone in the Royal Press Office clearly picked up that here was a nice story for the press to show Her Maj being all tolerant as well as caring for her staff.

My employer let me borrow a spare room and a pc in my lunch hour the other week to type up some random personal stuff I was doing, but I fear the press release has been delayed...

[Yaelle]

Nothing to see here, move along. What if the woman were breastfeeding and they gave her an empty office at lunch to pump in? What if she were Jewish and they gave her short days on Friday in the winter so she could get home before sunset?

[Shion]

Fantastic, lets just enable people to want even more concessions. What happened with the whole, "working" when you're at work thing?

[Canard]

"What happened with the whole, "working" when you're at work thing?"

Pfft, they don't pay me in my lunch hour, I ain't working then! Well, some of the time :(

[sageb1]

I don't believe that for a second. If you want to, go ahead.

[SauronOfMordor]

The only way it can happen is if a majority of people in this country vote into power a party which wants to introduce Sahria Law. That's democracy for you.

Or if a sufficiently large minority intimidates enough legislators into going along with implementing Sharia. That's thug politics for you.

It's amazing what concessions you can get in exchange for not burning the cities down in a "long hot summer"

[Canard]

"I don't believe that for a second."

Sorry, which part don't you believe?
