Now i have worked with Muslims and shared there food and talked with a muslim work colleague about the living here and we joked about the weather and many other things and we talked on matters more serious, When the 9/11 attacks happened he and his friends had a clitchy looking plane going into a building? when this was talked about round the dinner table they thought this was funny? He also talked to me about his english muslim wife and how he hit her and how a pakistani wife would not answer him back. we talked more about this and he knew he was doing wrong but found it hard to deal with, So the matter was dropt with me and him and we talked little about his wife after this.
On other occasion i went to Oldham with my muslim colleague to buy a car. and when he parked outside a shop to buy some cigs, i was then dragged out of the car and asked what i was doing here (i nearly **** myself) But luckily enough my muslim work colleague came out and said he was ok!! and off we went and the car turned out to be ****!
So my point is have engaged with muslims. And my end result is they are issues within the communities that need addressing, just to reiterate this is what i seen myself and in no way do i hate muslims i just feel they are issues that need dealing with.
