Do you think Islam is British?

a.hay said:
Islam originated from the middle east. So no it's not British.


\o/ at least someone got it right considering this threads nearly 4 pages long now.

Islam itself is not British. That much is obvious. However, following Islam does not mean that one is not British. It is a religion, not a nationality.

Just a shame the rabid xenophobes in here dont seem to understand that:(.

That's good because there are nearly as many Muslims in Canada pro rata as in Britain

Wrong the muslim population in Canada isnt anywhere as close to as it is here:).
According to the census in 2006 there is an estimated 780k odd muslims living in Canada compared to the UK which has over 1.6million muslims.

Just thought id point that out as you like to make some pretty wild claims without any sort of proof lately:).


But ultimatley islam isnt british, never has been and hopefully never will be. Anyone who thinks otherwise really hasnt a clue.

Yes i do but it still doesnt back up your claims unless you can give me a factor that can be calculated exactly???.

Interesting but still far from what you originally claimed:). 0.8% is quite a bit of a difference...but as it is the population of muslims is steadily growing over there. But thats due to the Canadian govt allowing more and more immigrants to come into Canada.

What "rabid xenophobes"? How can these wild accusations and insults continue to be thrown out at various forum posters daily without any sign of being reigned in?

And yet you complain about those 'rabid' posters that blindly throw out xenophobic, anti-muslim posts?

Your double standards are quite evident, and a shame.

Keep em coming I say VIRII (the insults!), it shows a total lack of argument on their behalf.

Because what does what?

The fact that, in your eyes, a supposed xenophobic movement on the OcUK forums throws out anti-muslim statements is irrelevant.

I was pointing out your hypocrisy in that you do the same thing, albeit with a different subject matter.

Clearer?

So you agree that when you said 'Wrong the muslim population in Canada isnt anywhere as close to as it is here' you were wrong? 2% and 2.8% are very close.

There is no argument.. its I don't like Muslims, send them back vs I don't mind Muslims, Let them live where they want.

then stage 2 of the argument is along the lines of They come to our country blow themselves up and steal our jobs vs They come to our country work hard and contribute to the economy.

then finally stage 3, your mum sucks vs no your mum sucks! :D

No i dont agree, i still stand by my previous statement that the difference in population is quite a bit higher here in the UK than in Canada. Plus im sure there are plenty of muslims that are underneath the radar so to speak ie illegal immigrants etc.
