Islam in Britain

[ScottSA]

...Education

Presently, Muslim students sometimes perform less well than non-Muslim students, but only if you limit performance measurement to racism-tinged subjects, like maths. In subjects that are more attuned to a Muslim ethos, such as reciting the Quran whilst being beaten with a stick, Muslim students outperformed their non-Muslim counterparts 78% to 11% in a recent study by the Ministry of Schools...

That is one bigotted sick minded article...

Replace Muslim with Jew and see how it reads.

Coming from you though I am not surprised.

Here's a wonderfully enlightened passage:

Also forbidden in Islam: pre-marital sex, adultery, and homosexuality. This will obviously help reduce London's appallingly high rates of sexually transmitted disease. And during public executions for the guilty, vigorous aerobic stone-throwing will help build upper-body definition.

Just think of it -- instead of a decadent nation of tubby gay pub sots, England will be a happy sultanate filled with believers with the hardbodies to shame Posh 'n' Becks! UK boys will have the six pack abs to impress any celestial virgin, and beneath their burqas UK girls will have the trim figures to fetch a 20-goat dowry for their families!

*******

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel eh? Well not surprising since your hero is Mark Steyn the racist bigotted hatemonger.

I think she tried to insult you , MacFeeble....

According to the 2001 census there are 607,083 Muslims living in London (310,477 males and 296,606 sub-males).

When you think of the Muslim world what's the first thing that comes to mind? That's right, ecology. Soon London will be enjoying the same careful Islamic environmental stewardship seen today in places like Cairo and Damascus.

Presently, Muslim students sometimes perform less well than non-Muslim students, but only if you limit performance measurement to racism-tinged subjects, like maths.

Inter-faith relations

In an Islamic London, inter-faith relations would be little changed. As ‘peoples of the book’ Christians, Jews, Hindus and Sikhs would likely be allowed to exist, just as they are allowed to exist today. And like today, these people of faith would also be allowed to submit to Islam. And it doesn't stop there: under Islamic rule you will be conditionally allowed various other freedoms, within reason.

This non-steyn fellow is a wit.....I like the last snippet....very advancodish of them.....

I like you too Buffy! You're kinda hot when you fluff up in outrage. But I must say, if I replaced "Muslim" with Jew it would be kind of silly, since, well, Jews don't wear burkas, trade goats, or stone people to death. Not in the last millenium or two, anyway. They did throw stones at folks fairly recently, but some historians have argued that the nature of the raids on the warsaw ghetto excused that sort of unruly behaviour.

The fact is that not one thing he says here is untrue. It might be "bigotted" to claim that sharks eat people, but it's also true, so it renders the biggoted part moot. Should it perhaps be phrased differently? Would that salve your sensibilities? Perhaps if the stonings were referred to as 'pious tossings of pebbles?'

Math is not racist, there is no way they can say it is. Londistan has a problem,

" Race relations

Under Islam all ethnicities are equal. Once you have submitted to Allah you are a Muslim – it doesn’t matter what colour you are. If you haven't submitted to Allah, you are NOT a Muslim - and it matters even less what colour you are. End of story. "

Is London's future Islamic?

It’s the capital’s fastest growing religion, based on noble traditions and compassionate principles, yet Islam can still be tainted by mistrust and misunderstanding. Here Time Out argues that an Islamic London would be a better place .... that's a hmmmm

I am disinclined to click on the article because of its 'apparently bigoted content. I will say, however, that substituting "Jew" for "Muslim" makes no sense because Jewish culture is not pathologically violent.

Time to lighten up folks. It's intended to be humorous.

[ScottSA]

Yeah, really. If I post something similar about Scotsmen and sheep, will someone laugh instead of pontificating about "racism" and "bigotry?" Christ, I don't even think most Muslims take themselves as seriously as a good many folks here...

[White Doors]

hahaha

that was a good article.

I also chuckled at buffycats post, that was funny too!

That DID sound like Mark Steyn.
