how many people on here have a negative view of Pakistanis/Arabs/Muslims?

Question

Be completely honest with me please?
I'm just interested in trying to find out if this is true that most people in the UK now view British Asians such as Pakistanis, Arabs and Muslims as a whole negatively and why it is so?

I'm not asking anyone to admit they're racist or anything just wanna know what u think of these people.

Answer 1

mixed view...

Answer 2

In my honest opinion we need all the brains we can get and a lot of the world's brains are sitting in the heads of Muslims and other Asians and Asians in particular.

Why bother educating your own people when it's much cheaper to steal educated people from other countries?

Both the Brits and the Yanks have been doing it for years. Bringing people in from outside to fill the gap. If you're old enough, you may have heard of the 'Brain Drain' which started in the 1960s when thousands of academics left UK for jobs in USA - more money, more resources, better life, etc. We've been trying to fill that gap ever since. Brains are what run countries, enterprises and just about everything else.

I only have one negative feeling about the Muslim world and it is simply that they seem unable or unwilling to share their culture with us. I've had this mad obsession with Arab music since the 1950s, yet still know little about it. I've got Arab music CDs, scratchy vynils, tapes and even listen to Arab music on the Internet. BBC Radio 3 often play Arabic music late at night. There's got to be a secret Arab Music Society somewhere out there, but where?

To be honest about it, on the so-called race issue, the average Brit is quite simply indifferent and probably does not give a damn what race people belong to. The problem seems to arise when people open their mouths to speak. If what comes out does not sound like English, then the native Brits just give up and walk off.

Last week I was running to jump on a tube train at Ealing Broadway and saw a couple of guys wearing Tube uniforms. I asked them is this train going to Charing X? They looked at me totally BLANK and spoke together in a foreign language, I think of Pakistani origin. Fat lot of use they are.

Learn English or die. It's that simple. The colour of a man's skin has nothing to do with it. Make the effort. Our country can no longer afford to ponce about with this, it's fast becoming a serious issue.

The Americans have the right idea. Ask any New Yorker. New York is where foreign languages go to die.

Answer 3

To be perfectly honest, I do have a slightly more negative view. I can't help it after the terrorist attacks. I do know that not all Muslims are terrorists, however most (if not all) of the terrorists have been Muslim. I can't help sometimes looking at Muslims in the street and wondering if they were happy about 9/11 or the 7/7 bombings in London. I don't like thinking like that, but I'm sorry to say that I can't help it.

Answer 4

Well maybe when they stop dealing drugs, pimping teenage girls and shooting people and murdering their customers then may be I'll feel ok about them spoiling this country.

Islam does not condone illegal behaviour, but as soon as they are caught all of a sudden they need an interpreter, (because they can't speak English!) they need Halal food and a prayer room and mat!!

So I just feel that the Islamic religion is being used as a tool to control our (UK) legal system and to maintain separation for covert opperations.

On an individual basis, I take as I find.

Answer 5

neither those of the middle east nor those of the west like to think
objectively about their own situations as regards right and wrong.
so i will be objective against both of these. first the muslims claim that we are the infidel.....tue or false i would say for the most part our way of life is the way of the infidel. the muslim way to stop this is holy war....wrong.....the west claim they should have democracy and votes ect and negotiate our differences....this is truer than holy war because nobody gets killed..muslims and christians have the prophets, many of them think that the prophets want them to have a holy war to fulfill the prophesies, but no, the prophesies are there to help you avoid them being fulfilled so you dont have to taste the desaster, but repent and change. they are not changing and we are not changing....stalemate.

Answer 6

I don't care what anyone is, i live my life and i hate certain individuals, but how can i hate an entire race until ive met them all.
my golden rule is "do not **** with me and I wont **** with you".
The first real liberal ,beardy Hippy guy, J.C said "Do onto others as onto you", and I do.
I grew up in northern Ireland in the70's and 80's but i don't hate all protestants or English people because i suffered bigotry at the hands of a few.
What I really have a negative view of is religious zealots and people who use their "god" to get what they want. Or as an excuse for what they have done.

Answer 7

to be honest Asians don't bother me like Chinese,they adapt to our culture as do some Pakistanis altho i find there attitude towards whites as ignorant but some are diffrent than others in my experience. Arabs i do find closed up and keep to there self's and don't try to adapt to our culture which makes me fell untrustworthy towards them.with all the stuff happening just now i am worried about all the immigrants that are coming here and think our policies need changing

Answer 8

I don't have a negative view of Pakistanis, Arabs or Muslims.
On the whole they are law abiding citizens like everyone else.

Answer 9

No. I truthfully have a chum who's a member of a clean Age church, and that i've got attended that church's centers many circumstances. i got here across little or no there that conflicted with my own Christian ideals. regardless of the reality that, i'm open to which contain diverse styles of eclectic spirituality into my widely used ideals. most of the instructions of the hot Age do no longer resonate with me, yet others do. between the instructions i've got come to have self assurance in is the flexibility of affirmations, as taught by ability of the hot theory church homes (cohesion and others), and additionally in the hot Age flow. jointly as affimations are not inevitably the area of all New Age communities, i've got attended adequate New Age centers and events to renowned that many New Age human beings do share my perception in affirmations. As for seeing religions different than my own as "the Antichrist", that is only ridiculous. human beings have the main appropriate to have self assurance regardless of they need.

Answer 10

no matter what race or what religion you are there are bad and good in every one and it all comes down to racism not all arabs/muslims should be singled out because the others are doing stupid things, if that was the case everytime one of our own done something stupid that means we should all be punished for it, thats not fair and its not right. We are only turning the good arabs/muslims against us with all our racism and hate.

so my answer to your question for me is no i dont hate them and i dont think negative about them there human like you and me and there are good and bad and you cant judge them all because of other peoples stuff ups.

Answer 11

I have and it is from personal experience. I have lived and worked in Muslim countries for several years. In my opinion they are the most miserable humourless culture. I have never met a Muslim with a sense of humour. Their whole culture is driven by paranoia. I have never met a Muslim who does not tell lies. This is because they believe that telling an untruth to a non Muslim is not a lie and is acceptable. I personally would never trust a Muslim.
