Why are there so many Muslim People living in London, U.K.?

Question

We always hear how dedicated the arab people are to their countries and causes. Yet there seems to be a major influx of Muslims migrating to western Europe in general. Is it because there is more opportunity for them outside of the Arab world?

Answer 1

Today's Muslim immigrants, by and large, are moving into traditionally non-Muslim countries solely for financial reasons. In essence, they want to retain their Muslim traditions and customs while simply having a better life economically. Unfortunately, many, perhaps most, of these traditions are in direct conflict with the accepted behavior and customs of their new homes. When cultural differences are minor and nuanced, integration, while usually not easy, is inevitable and generally works out for the best.

When these cultural differences are as pronounced and in direct opposition to each other, as is largely the case with the Islamic and non-Islamic world, you will see a greater clash than has been seen in the past. This is not a case where certain traditions and customs will need to be modified by Islamic immigrants, but rather, will need to be completely dropped. I don't see that happening and believe this situation is only going to continue to worsen.

Take for example what recently happened in Pakistan, a country considered "moderate" by Islamic standards. Hundreds of lawmakers were outraged that President Musharraf was trying to rewrite the country's Islamic law regarding rape. The current law, based on Koranic text and Sharia law, holds that a woman who claims she has been raped must provide 4 male witnesses. If she can not provide the witnesses, she is considered an adulterer and can be sentenced to death by stoning. This law, known as the Hudood Ordinance, also sets no minimum age for sex with girls, saying only that they should have reached puberty.

If this is standard practice in one of the Islamic world's most moderate countries, how bad a problem do you think there's going to be when these same Muslims want to immigrate to the West and carry on the traditions of their native countries?

The UK and other countries need to wake up before it's too late. Any religion who screams for tolerance without demonstrating any tolerance of its own will eventually use that leverage to stomp out its opposition.

Answer 2

Most middle east and north African countries are not very nice places to live with little opportunity even for muslims to advance themselves. There is little or no middle class or personal freedoms in these theocratic tyrannies. Europe has allowed muslims to migrate freely, and unfortunately the jihadists have availed themselves of the opportunity and are now stirring up trouble. If current demographic trends continue or accelerate UK and Europe will be Eurabia by 2050 with the original European population in a dhimmi minority under Muslim majority rule under Sharia law. Good luck!

Get a bloody good atlas and learn it troublesome, now the position on earth do you discover the country of Islam everywhere? It doesn't exist by way of the undeniable fact that is a international faith alongside with Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism etc. You get extremists in each and each and every of the international religions and in all international locations, only because those extremists ensue to adhere to a particular faith, it doesn't advise that they are all undesirable. a lot of British Muslims were born right here and they only follow a faith and in case you requested a real follower of any denomination of that faith, they could be disgusted with techniques from the behaviour of those extremists. The media are centred on those human beings for some reason, because they ought to have some type of scapegoat. the day previously right now it replaced into the students, right now this is all Muslims because of a few extremists. very last 365 days it replaced into all those who smoke. the following day it will be all Atheists, the record isn't exhaustive. face as a lot because the extremists, the authorities and the media circus who stirs the pot, yet do not generalise about a heck of a lot of human beings for it will be you or I who's getting centred next week, only because of a few idiots!!!!!!

Answer 4

Go back to the history of British Empire, due to the Industrial Revolution, the labourforce especially skilled & semi-skilled labours are widely needed in England. So, your country started to invite foreign workers especially from Yemens and other Ottoman Empires nations to filled the jobs.

Secondly, British Empire do maintain a good relationship with Muslim world as Queen Elizabeth I do asked Ottoman's armada to beat Spanish armada. Moreover, Elizabeth I established the East India company to monopoly the herbs & spice trading from Arabic traders. Since Disraeli let Queen Victoria have her crowned in India, British Empire do create an army from Gujerat.

Beside illegal immigrants nowadays, I guess, almost all of the Arabs are British citizens since their grandparents we're granted as British citizens. Foe eg : Prince Naseem, his roots are Yemens.

Answer 5

Ironic isn't it? They hate us yet they want to live with us. Don't worry though. Comrade Blair will make sure the People's Republic of the UK becomes non-offensive to these charming people and we'll all get along in the new UKA (United Kingdom of Arabs).

Answer 6

Did you expect any thing less from your leaders? Your leaders have made poor choices for the country and the common people that have a blood right to that land. The Irish let migrants in, but its very controlled, and mostly people that are white and will easily assimilate ( Polish ) Ask the Irish why they want you out of N Ireland?

Answer 7

Because the Arab leaders are criminals and dictators . Stand behind the terror and bombings and international tension ... Arabs and Muslims keep stay and practicing terrorism because those fascist regimes or migration ?

Not just London all over first they propergate quickly and if I told you why {I think You know} I will get zapped by one of our friends who gave us 9/11 or the fiasco at Heathrow where they wanted to bomb the planes

Answer 9
