The presumption was that '99%' of Muslims would be clamouring to fight on the side of Britain should we be invaded by ISIS, implicating that Muslims indeed love this country and will fight for its culture and defend it from evil. If that were the case, why is there such a small number of Muslims in the British army? They make up ~4.5% of the population, yet are significantly underrepresented in the armed forces (0.39%). Why are there more fighting for ISIS than for the country it is claimed they love? I know the answer to these questions, do you?
I'm still not quite sure why you choose to defend it so vehemently, are you even aware that it is a right wing ideology? Heavily conservative in nature, the complete antithesis to what you believe, and yet here I am in opposition of it and you're attacking me! You really think you can live in peace with it? Is it at this time only? Or in the future when they make up a significantly larger proportion of the population? We all see what happens in France every other month, those are big stories, but the little ones that go amiss? They can be summed up with this little statistic... Despite only making up ~7.5% of the French population (largest in Western Europe), Muslims make up ~70% of prison inmates. It's quite breath taking how you will leap to the defence of Islam without really knowing much about it, other than regurgitating bottom of the barrel platitudes.
No, the reason you think I'm not worth engaging with is that you have no retort. You cannot think of anything to counter what I am saying, the points that I am making, the statistics I am bringing forward, the questions I am asking and, most importantly, what Islam actually is, the first mistake a lot of people make is classifying it as a religion. Your Muslim best friend has disappeared too, is it because I'm just a 'racist, bigot, Islamophobe', which presumably you'd all be cherishing to 'put to bed' as he put it? Or is it because I'm hitting a little too close to home? Orwell had it right when he was talking about the truth... Oh, and do you know want to know what that feeling you're experiencing is right now? That's your little brain desperately trying to hurdle all of your contradictions, the anger isn't with me, it's with yourself as it's not capable of doing so, hence why you continuously revert to calling me all of those lefty buzzwords.
