Britain is like a culture sponge. The oldest human remains found in Britain date to about 500,000 years ago. People have moved to Britain from Continental Europe and beyond for hundreds and thousands of centuries. What has happened here is almost unique in the world in that new cultures have been absorbed and all or parts of them have become the culture of the Island of Britain. Britain has always been multicultural it is only recently that this label has been used to describe how the people of Britain live or wish to live.
I am a Brythonic Celt (Welsh) by race. I would not seek to impose my culture, language, way of life on anyone else. Yet in historical terms, the Welsh are probably the oldest surviving known inhabitants of the Island of Britain, being descended as they are from the Ancient British, who occupied the island in about 500BC.
New ideas new cultural ways of doing things, or fashionable ways of conducting ourselves, continue to come to the Island of Britain.
If you think that fish and chips is the most popular meal for the people of Britain, then please think again. Actually it is a dish called chicken tika masala. It does not actually exist in real Indian cooking and was invented right here in UK by an Indian Chef in an Indian restaurant, based upon a real Indian dish called simply, chicken tika.
The people of Britain may very well take up with Islam, only time will tell. What is most likely is a continuation of what already exists, a tolerant outlook on other people's religious beliefs.
Who knows what next year's new fad or fancy might be.
Do not try to see into the long distant future, content yourself by taking care of today. Make today your best day ever. Do it every day. Enjoy your life.

Um - as someone who pays attention to these things, I haven't heard any arguments that we should all suddenly convert to Islam. There may be a few extremists running around and trying to blow us up to make that happen, but that's not going to work for 2 reasons:
a) We're Brits - blitz mentality makes us as stubborn as heck, and that's not going to die out any time soon.
b) It would take a few hundred years or another syphilitic, psychotic king to make us change religion again - and both are rather unlikely.
So stop being such a dumbass. We are the result of the invasion of numerous nations - that is a fact but it has little to do with where we are now. And what the heck does being mixed race have to do with the price of fish?
Oh, and if you're going to go on a religious hatred bent - what about the Catholics, the Sikhs, the Hindus, the Buddhists etc etc etc? Why is Islam such an issue to you? Christianity has killed more people in the UK than any other religion.
Pedantic, uninformed drivel. Try reading a bit more and relating your own opinions rather than quoting idiotic, narrow-minded cr*p.

I do not know anyone who denies our tradition or culture, in fact we are very proud of our heritage. I have never heard anyone say that the invasion of Europeans is a good argument for anything, and certainly not in relation to Islamics or mixed race progress, whatever that is. There will never be a time in England when we fail to appreciate our history or indeed fail to learn from it. Our Christmas will never "not be" It is important to both Christians and non Christians alike, although for different reasons.
I think perhaps that English is not your native tongue, and you may have had a slight problem in translation, from your own language. English is not an easy language to master.

you have not any lifestyle. in case you probably did what you're affirming does not ensue. Your boys emulate black boys because they imagine they're cool and masculine. Your stupid pub and chips is somewhat imitated. Your football and pastime awards must be non existent without blacks, Brazilians, Spaniards etc. each and anybody is established with English so even as they arrive right here, there is not some thing you could coach them. Even your white center type coach their toddlers French or some eu language to look state-of-the-artwork. French, Spanish, Italians, Swedes and all Europe do not attempt to mimic black human beings or immigrants. even as foreigners toddlers are not as understanding of their lifestyle this is ridiculed because they imagine the youngster has no lifestyle in the journey that they strengthen up right here. The blacks and foreigners in those international locations get assimilated and immersed of their cultures because they have cultures to commence with. you do not have a lifestyle, so once you word different cultures it type of feels you're being taken over.

England has a strong culture, it is liberal guilt trippers who try to deny it.
England has had a settled people for the last 1500 years, it is only in the last 50 years that we have allowed mass immigration.

Islamic? Never. Although a multi-faith society, England is predominantly a Christian country, and that's the way it will remain. No one will ever stop us celebrating Christmas and I will not deny any of our traditions or culture. Why would I, I am proud of my heritage.

They have got a rich culture- morris dancers etc. And I once saw one with a bald head, all tattooed.
Some of my best friends are English and I can assure you they have a VERY strong culture. The English are at their best when their backs are up against the wall. So all these muslims, homosexuals etc better watch out. The British Lion is only sleeping- it's not the first time people have thought otherwise?

This should only cause bother to racists. Consider that white people only make up 30% of the worlds population at moment and this will gradually drop till it is zero in about 500years, enjoy your stay, is what I say!
