Answer 1

WELL RACHAEL!!!
You certainly opened a box of worms here!

Looking at this objectivly I won't agree or dis-agree however:

1. All cultures feel threatened by different cultures because people feel threatened by what they don't understand.

2. (Links to point ONE) This means that a migrating culture will want to stick with what they know and feel is right; and the host culture will be annoyed that they have been 'invaded' by an alien culture because they don't want it to alter or encroch on their own.

3. NO-ONE, no matter what religion/race/group we are talking about here has the right to abuse anyone's society/benefits, but surely you can't say with a straight face that no UK nationals that are non-muslim don't sponge off the state??

4. Ideally all groups in any country should be able to live side by side in harmony with there own cultures/religious-beliefs/values and keep themselves to themselves, not bothering each other...

5. (Relating to point number FOUR):
Point four was there to through people off the scent... because point 4 is BS!!!
At some point people from all cultures will want to MIX together, when that happens both cultures will jump on their soap-box over the right's and wrong's of each other's cultures... Political correctness is the biggest evil here, it stifles real opinion and debate... the thought that racism and predjudice will go away if people ignore that it exists and watches what they say is rubbish, where there is difference there will always be difference of opinion...THIS is not racism, racism is ignorance NOT debate.

6. Where I agree with the lady in Spain, you make a VERY good point Rachael... I wonder exactly how accomadating a muslim country would be? I DON'T know and would'nt want to guess... but the point you raised even though it IS loaded is not predjudice, but what I can't ignore is that there is obviously some under-lying reason behind your outburst (i'd say this was you were unhappy with the fact you have seemingly no say in your own country perhaps)... but you HAVE asked the question...

Funny how PC society has got so many people's backs up over this... How do PC people think it is healthy to basically tell opinionated people to 'SHUT UP!!' and then think all must be well in society just because that veiw is not being SAID!

I fear we are all in for a HUGE collision-course for disaster if we don't DIRECTLY address the fact that we don't all get along all the time and be comftable with that, rather than flying our flags and refusing to budge one-inch...

Answer 2

Girl, you'd better stay where you are. You wouldn't be able to live in any other country except UK, muslim or no muslim. Go back to your council house and keep sponging the country off (don't worry about working, us foreigners will do that for you), stuff yourself with tasteless English "food", go to pub every night and get drunk and to church on Sunday and oh- when you are here, you won't need any other language but English, right? I think that's the kind of life you like, so why change it? And P.S. if you're scared to get on a bus or tube or plane, then stay at home.

Answer 3

It's funny that you should say that. I live in a non-Muslim country. Spain. However, the amounts of British people who live here refusing to speak the language, refusing to integrate, living in their own communities and own housing estates using only British products, and employing British workers and working in British companies, getting money from the 'FREE BANK', having British holidays, makes me a little embarrassed to see people criticising other cultures.

Who are you criticising exactly? All the Muslim people or just the minority?

Do you know that many people have the view that ALL English people are hooligans?

Do you really feel too frightened to get on a bus or train? Last night i was on the train and the only thing that frightened me was the mass of drunken tourists (not all English) who were vandalising the carriage.

In case you are wondering what nationality I am, I'm English. And sometimes embarrassed to admit it!

What about you?

It's ok to have your point of view, but have you thought about it from another point of view?

Answer 4

I have to say, ur question actually makes one sit down and think about how the British Government are being taken for a ride and they are actually allowing it, u r absolutely right, if we were to go to one of their Muslim countries we wouldn't get anything of our English cultural beliefs would we, oh no, it just wouldn't happen. I'm not racist either, but I do get a little annoyed at the way our system is being abused.

Answer 5

I agree with the point you're making here it does seem a lot to ask, but then I ask why is it so difficult to accept other peoples traditions and accomodate them. Is providing Halal food in a shop really degrading us? Is dressing in their traditional dress offending us? Are white people only allowed the chance of a better life?

Answer 6

The Bosnia Muslims had accepted all these demands. Yet, when the true colour appeared, they faced a genocide, a holocast, an ethnic cleansing, even babies were not spared. That is a very recent history. Try to win the heart of fellow humans. ask your demands once you are on such a spree. You shall be welcome to every Muslim country...and be my guest.

Answer 7

yes and no..i stay in a muslim country n i assure u u will get many of those pt.s u have mentioned..but seriously some of ur demands are ridiculous..like..free housing benefits..n national holidays for christmas n easter ..
ohh come on ! first temme does US or britain have a national holiday on EID or any of the other muslim festivals ?? NO!! how can u expect them 2give u holidays then , ha ??

Answer 8

hahahah best point ever!

i think the same thing sometimes...i look around me and think I'm sure i wouldn't go to someone elses country and make such demands and have such expectations...especially not if i was just going to turn around and criticise or blow up that country anyway!

and why is it that no one seems to get the point of this question?!

why is it that we have to respect other cultures but no on respects ours?!

Answer 9

Buy a time machine dear, and go back to the days of the British Empire, circa 1850... This should suit most of your demands (although they didn't have the DSS back then, I think it was called the workhouse).

Answer 10

YOu had better stay just where you are. Even where you are all the above are not guaranteed. Good lluck. Point made loud and clear.
