why dont muslims speak english in public and do u see this as rude and a slap in the face?

Question

to everyone whos english,,,,dose it make the gap between islam and other religions wider,,,please answer honestly

Answer 1

i agree with you. i think it does widen the gap, and you cant compare going on holiday for a few wks and not spking the native language to choosing to live in a country and refusing point blank to learn the native tongue. just how much is it costing the tax payer to have every leaflet printed in different languages? its all about integration. if your not prepared to integrate and p.i.s.s and moan about how the country wont accomodate you then move to an arabic country. i for one have had enough with hearing how islam is a religion of peace when very clearly it fcuking isnt! and the argument about women wearing headgear,(cant remember the word for it, how ignorant of me!) is another point. i think it show they're fundamentalists. i'd certainly be more wary of someone covering up then i would be of someone with an open face. the country is trying to fight intolerance with tolerance and it just aint gonna work. the same laws dont seem to apply to muslims as they do to british born citizens. its not universal. and the fanatical muslims only have themselves to blame. why should we make the effort to understand what is basically a hide behind for bloodshed when they dont acknowledge other faiths.

Answer 2

Why don't racist scumbags write English in public?
Isn't this rude and a slap in the face to everyone who's English? Does it make the gap between racists and decent people wider?

You could make an effort to master the language of the country you claim to want to defend from foreign invasion. Or maybe you're just another racist trying to blame your own shortcomings on someone else.

Answer 3

I don't see the use of other languages "in public" as rude or a slap in the face. Using other languages WHEN SPEAKING TO ME WHEN I'M IN ENGLAND is. I have, however, never come across that. Languages are wonderful things and I think people using them is marvelous.

By the way your English, at least your written English, leaves a lot to be desired. I'd brush up on your spelling and grammar before having a go: most Muslims I know who speak other languages speak English better than you write it.

Answer 4

Majority of Muslims speak English both outside and inside of their homes.

I find you quite ignorant of the concept of being a Muslim. Being Muslim is a way of life not a cultural issue, it doesn't matter from which part of the world you come from Islam embraces you regardless.

People live in the UK from all different parts of the world, you should be proud to have all these different cultures living amongst you! rather than being ignorant perhaps you should learn about these people around you.

I know a lot of English people who go abroad and simply don't make the effort!!!

Please learn to accept there is all different creeds and colours and religions in this world, but, we are all still the same people through and through!!!

Peace.............................

Answer 5

No. It's fine. Muslims should learn English so they can communicate with the wider community but when they are among people who speak their first language, why should they speak English?

I spend part of the year in Russia and when I am with Russians I speak Russian, but when I am with another English person I speak English and I bet so would you. Stupid question.

Answer 6

I think that Muslims can talk in whatever language that they want. If you were in India, or somewhere, wouldn't you still talk in English to your friends?
I don't see this as a slap in the face. I think they should be able to talk however they want to.
As for the gap part of the question, I don't really know. I guesse if you can't understand what they're saying, then you can't really learn anything from them, and vise versa.

Answer 7

May i ask why you are only directing this towards Muslims?? I don't see a problem with it at all....i don't feel that it makes a larger gap between Religions... don't assume that they are talking about you..maybe it is just easier to have certain conversations in native tongue..

Answer 8

Lighten up, you're paranoid.

I hear lots of different languages around the 'burgh, not just from people from Arabic countries. If someone is out with their friends and/or family and is having a conversation in their home language, whose business is it? Not mine, and not yours. Who knows what they are talking about, or why they are not using English? Maybe it is more comfortable to speak in the home language. Maybe grandma and Uncle Fred are visiting from Kazikstan and can't speak English. Who knows, who cares? It's not rude. What is rude is wanting to listen in on other people's conversations.

Answer 9

In united statesa., that's what we call "freedom of speech". as long as they placed across English with you whilst being spoken, you may not be concern approximately their language. it is extremely an imposition with the aid of fact the corporate now a days hires people who could desire to talk distinctive languages to make stronger their agencies. consistent with possibility in case you study yet another language different than English, you will locate out for your self that that's extremely an asset to talk yet another language different than your mom tongue.

Answer 10

That's a tough one.It depends. If I take a phone call from my Nan I'll speak Twi (a Ghanaian language), not because my Nan can't speak English (she speaks with a crisp British accent) but its feels far less formal. If I'm out with friends who can speak Twi or Mandarin we talk in English. If I'm in a restaurant with my husband and either myself or he are talking about an aspect of work well speak in Mandarin.
