Immigrants are OK if they're trained professionals in a specific field (anything from Bricklaying to Medicine for all I care), as they actually offer something to our society. When it's greasy little Muslim-fundies who want to stand in the street and hurl abuse about the rise of Islam and the impending introduction of Sharia Law in the UK, clearly people are going to get pissed off. "Islam is cracking. We've got women talking back. We've got people playing stringed instruments. It's the end of days".
According to Gov site. If outside the country, spouse needs to apply for immigration status. If here, they need to apply for Permanent Residency. If the person doesn't pass the qualification standards...bum's rush, married or no.
You have no idea...Most of the young Muslims that protest in the streets are 2nd generation or more, and are pissed off by the way they're treated in this country.
Tody, I usually agree with a lot of what you say even though in the eyes of some that makes me gay but I have to disagree with the 2nd part of your statement. A lot of those protesters are doing so because of the propoganda they are fed in certain mosques and on the internet and by their peers. It has nothing to do with the way they are treated in this country. It has everything to do with religious hatred being thrust upon them by people with a vested interest in continuing what is in their eyes a holy war.
The fact they are pissed off often leads to them being influenced by people who have those views. They're not only going to protests, marches,... because they're angry, they have been influenced by outside sources. But the motivation for them to seek out websites and other jihadist propaganda is their anger, from my point of view.
Whenever I get angry, I don't imagine myself bombing a supermarket or tube station because I want to be a 'Paki Rambo'. I'm an infidel, and the mad bastards don't like it, so they're hostile.
Non-Muslim skangers tend to form gangs, or hop on people, Muslim skangers tend to go in for Jihad. Both symptoms of the same problem; being treated like **** by society. You'll always get the odd educated person who's been brainwashed, or is just plain crazy, but most of the loudest people are just people who feel let down by British society. Quite often, the only real difference between an EDL skinhead and a Sharia nutcase is the country their grandparents were born in.
No, but as you probably commented on the Creationism thread, religion destroys people's logical thought processes. You're lucky you haven't been exposed
I created it. Edit: I wholeheartedly agree with what you say about religion, so at least there's one thing we can agree on. I'm also thankful I haven't been exposed.
Societal violence is a crock. Everyone has an axe to grind, but few are stupid enough to vent their feelings with violence. To say that it's ok to go bananas because we feel let down by the life we have, is a real cop out. What next? Disgruntled disabled anarchists?
I never said it was okay, I just said being a little scumbag wasn't something inherent to being a Muslim.
