The children of other cultures must also be taught tolerance.

There are extremists on both sides.

but we, as a country are backing down in our own country. this is not a racism thing (though i can see perfectly why it would appear that way) it's watching ones history go down that pan. why are we bowing to these requests? is it because it's the british way? i don't know what it is or what is wrong for putting your own beliefs, in your own country, before others
 
We are talking about it now DD...

How can I ask a mod to discuss certain topics.... which you won't tell me about?

You really are getting pedantic with this.

The topic of what I would do about Muslims in Britain. Don't play dumb. Or maybe you aren't playing, come to think of it. You want the thread, the onus is on you to get permission. I've already told you that I've been told not to post so much about certain stuff yet you keep badgering me in a sad effort to score cheap points :)

We are being colonised and in future Britain will be unrecognisable from what it is today. Just as it is unrecognisable today compared to 60 years ago. Hell, even 20 years ago.
 
seriously lol. I have quite a few friends who are muslims, they are highly educated and don't wear the veil nor do they agree with it and would disagree with you on the fact that women are pressured to wear these.

unfortunately a lot of muslims in the third world (which is where the majority reside) are not as well educated as you pretend, and even less so when it comes to women. unfortunately this backward mentality you refer to is not a just few. women in those countries have very few rights, which is not the case in europe. the veil is a symbol of this oppression and thus counter to western values. to say it's a choice is plain denial or misinformation.


You seemed to have misunderstood me mate.

I said that any of the people who i know who are FORCED to wear it there families while being highly educated area extremely strict about these things and really dont allow them any freedom of choice in these things.

Most of the friends I know and people I know who wear scalves dont always wear full veils and it the majority of them do it by choice alof ot my friends only started wearing them when they were 19 or so.

It depends on the family what there like.

No, the onus is on you to prove you are actually a little more well thought out than most of your racist companions.

Otherwise, you sling hatred and disdain when the conclusion is foregone and you apparently have no intellectual answer on this to reverse the trend.

You never said you weren't allowed to post such stuff, why are you commenting in here then? This is what you said:

"Past discussions with a few mods have given me that impression and I respect that."

So is it an impression you got, or did they just tell you?

Which mod told you not to discuss it so I can go have a word with them?

Its got nothing to do with me badgering you (ego?) or scoring points, you score them against yourself with your views. I just want to see if you actually have any weight to any of the off the cuff comments that come out of your account..
 
yes it has. i've had conversations with people from all walks of life who are in their 50's/60's/70'/80's and things have changed and the general concensus is that it is not a change for the better

The country always changes as said UK is unrecognisable compared to 60 years ago. But we have always been multiculturalism in recent history and go further back we have been colonised so many times, there are no true English.

What has not changed is us welcoming people in and living a free life, actually I lie it has changed. To many freedoms removed.

But you don't a balaclava, motorbike helmet, face scarf, hoodie.

No reason to specifically ban one item, ban covering of the face.

people usually wear those items for good reason. eg , the cold or safety

not because they feel like they HAVE too because men said so

A motorbike helmet is to protect one from falling off their bike, and the others are an item to wear for warmth in the cold weather. You could argue about the balaclava as it's used by a lot of robbers. but I don't see why you couldn't wear it early in the morning on a freezing day at work or something, just take it off if you go into a shop!

A veil is for religious reasons, they wear the veil in the summer so it's not main purpose is not for warmth, but religion. I don't think people want this sort of religious non-sence to take over this country.

This is the first time in history that we have allowed ourselves to become colonised without a fight, and with the complicity of our own government.
