Would you ever boycott Muslim stores?

Question

In Britain all I ever seem to hear are the Muslims complaining.I myself are sick of how our government and alot of other people bend over backwards as to not offend them.We know us indigneous Britons are not liked by the muslim community as a whole with no go areas for white britons springing up all over the country. I think that the muslim faith will overwhelm britain as
they tend to stick together unlike us white british folk and am worried about this.
For this reason I am gonna try to shop at places/get taxis not owned by muslims. I would rather help my indigneous british folk
by walking a little further to their shop and keeping them in employment. I would also like to buy british made items to support our country instead of buying stuff thats made in china,could we ever compete with the prices?
What would the conciquenses be?
Im just thinking of ways we could all support our country and help it get back on its feet.

Yes we must not confuse sikhs with muslims
as one reader suggested............and doh i forgot to use spell checker >..< appologies

Plz dont answer if ur a muslim or scared of being called racist.......ive no time for u sorry

Yes "tina" you are so smart, i mean you have answered nearly 900 questions but asked only 1. I wish i had your knowledge.maybe one day i will. :>)

Answer 1

Now your talking. To hell with the rest of the world, we have a ticking timebomb here.

Answer 2

I can understand your feelings but boycotting products won't contribute to anything. You are talking about two things in your question: products made in China and saving the British economy by not buying in Muslim owned stores. That is a bit talking in general, I would say. These are two completely different subjects.

I can just add that trying to turn desperately to nationalism again, it is a process which is not possible anymore due to globalization. You cannot turn back the clock and make Britain English again, the whole world has gone multicultural, if you like it or not. In ten years the whole world is buying Chinese products because it is an unstoppable market, to give a simple example, a united UK would stand completely alone if your plan would work. It is simply too unrealistic to make it happen. The only thing you will achieve is xenophobia and hatred, led by misunderstanding. By the way, most Muslims in Britain consider themselves British, you know. Ask a few down your block.

Answer 3

Think of it.... Yes the Muslims are complaining alot, but are they to be blamed?( not that the British are to be blamed though)

When the war on terror began, it was plainly and justly a war on Bin Laden. But, through media and bullshit comments made by great people who have the privilege of masses lending their ears to them, the war has become a war on the religion itself. Example, most recently, Pope Benedict made a rather foolish comment about the teachings of the Prophet, the founder of Islam. And this was not the first time comments have been made.

Tell me would you be mentally stable if you were always picked on? Wouldn't you be in constant fear? I know I would.... Relate that back to the Muslims isn't their worries or as you put it "complains" justified?

Some small questions, that may in turn answer your question, I would like to leave you with is; By not shopping at the Muslim shops there is probably not going to be a down-fall in your country's economy, but what about the monopoly of morals? Do you think you are doing the right thing? Do you think that the Muslims are not going to react to it?( when you do something, somehow another will also be obliged to follow ) So what is goin to happen if the whole of a British state alienates that particular Muslim shop?

Thank You. Hope my answer helps.

Answer 4

Where is this hate coming from? I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can't 'send people back where they came from', if they were born in the UK and have full British passports. As far as the guy from the US is concerned - the US would be pretty empty if all people with an immigrant background were expelled. Most of your Presidents seem to want to be Irish!
And no, I wouldn't boycott Muslim stores. Where else would I get my spices? Twice the price and half the weight and flavour at the (possibly Jewish owned) supermarket? You've got to be joking.

Answer 5

Only if the owner is supporting a cause that costs others, i.e. in this case if the owner is openly supporting the terror of the Islamists...
That said, I would boycott any store whose owner(s) support any cause that I don't agree with as I do not want anything that I don't agree to be supported by my money.
--------------------
I don't think you should generalize when boycotting although generalization is an economic way of decision making. Make informed selections. That way you are likely to give more harm to the society you are living in by increasing the distance between the poles of the society. There is no way back from globalization and moving of people around countries so accept the fact thay you and generations after you will have to live together with other cultures than what you call your own.
----------------
I hope you will reconsider and will not boycott based on generalizations based on races or religions.

Answer 6

Lets get real what you see is Renta Squad or its equivilant.

The peoples of the world are the same and they all want the same thing and have the same hopes. I had blood brothers who were Muslims in Malaya and I would die for them when I was there.
I am a cockney and old and I would defend the weak even today.
Would I defend a Muslim.
Certainly and perhaps more so if it was a mother and child.
Don't let a few spokesmen colour your common sence.
I'm over 80 and nobody's asked me to speak on behalf of anyone, and I could moan for England.
I would rather shop locally under any condition and if you are being this personal, what about Tesco?
What's her name' ripped off Westmister and moved to Isreal.
Daughter of the owner and she never had a penny???
Shop locally and if they are Muslim so much the better.
At least you have a better chance of not eating chemicals.

Answer 7

what has Islam done to hurt us? nothing at all.

You seem to be against the Islamic people because they still have a sense of community and rather than improve your own community you choose to drag a better one down. The majority of Muslims dont dislike the British the same as the majority of British dont dislike muslims

If you are serious about doing this, you need to boycott anything made from oil- after all most of it comes from oil fields in Islamic countries. Good luck on that one!

Answer 8

I am white British son of a Catholic father and a protestant mother married to a woman whos mother is Jewish and father Muslim so I understand about religious opposition. The reality is most muslims are peace loving people who repect the host country. British muslims are as British as I am, the point is Islam is a religion not a nationality. Every religion has bigots and abusers of the purrpose of that religion and some less intelligent people are swayed by manipulative people who use religion as a tool to exploit others. They are not true followers of any faith but are out to cause trouble and give them distorted status.

backlashes of any sort against the general population of muslims or any other religion plays into the hands of those manipulators and gives credance to their distorted arguments that there is an us and them culture. Instead focus your anger on those that activly pronounce the downfall of freedom. Give your business to the taxi driver muslim or otherwise that appreciates being british and the british way of life. If you are in a taxi and you disagree with the drivers view then vote with your wallet get out dont use that driver again, go to the cab company and state clearly you wont be using the fanatical driver but are happy to use reasonable muslim or otherwise drivers. The owners of these companies will start to lay off those drivers and the good ones will succeed. if the whole company is wrong then boycott that firm. But in any event better to focus on the guilty than punishing the innoocent. if you dont then you become one of them and add credance to their argument.

Answer 9

I would only boycott if I definetly had proof that they were traitors to our country not if they were innocent hard working people , but this would be to ALL colour ,creed , I would never victimise anybody for no reason at all , that is just plain ignorence also very nasty , it would be the same as being arrested for something you had not done just because you are British ? Stop stirring up , you cannot blame ALL Muslims for what a few do!
but a message to the guilty .
I am not on this earth very long let me live in peace as I let you!

Answer 10

No. For one thing, you seem to be confusing race with religion. Many retail outlets are managed or owned by people of Asian origin or descent, but it does not follow they are all muslim.
Secondly, there is no logic in the supposition that by shopping at a store owned by muslims you are directly contributing to Islam. If a store explicitly said that it's profits went to fund a religious organisation, I would avoid it - there is a second hand furniture store in my home village that raises money for a christian organisation - I do not shop there because I do not want my money to go in any way to promoting theism.
Finally, I am bone idle and find it hard to stick to my principles - I don't like what Tesco does by developing greenfield sites and ignoring planing laws, yet they are so convenient I still swallow my pride and shop there!
I have to say that you are in danger of falling into a trap that many seem victim to - you start by protesting against a particular religious mindset, but extrapolate it into just plain racism - that is bad, be careful!

Answer 11

How much do you ACTUALLY know about Muslims?, about what they ACTUALLY believe, about what they REALLY want, and about what they think? Or are you just spouting the vitriol you read in your newspapers?
Remember that it isn't just China, it is also India, and other parts of east Asia, so you are severely limiting what you can buy. Can we compete on price? Do you want the honest answer? NO we can't.
I have a small Wholesale company, and we regularly get bombarded with mails and emails from Chinese companies and the China development board, offering to help us with anything we want. We haven't taken them up on it yet, because we like our British suppliers. But I can tell you for free that some of our products would cost us about 20% of what they cost us now, if we got them made in China, and that includes delivery. Buying British is COSTING me a lot in lost profits; how long do you think I can continue to ignore that fact?
