What is surprising me as of late is the way the muslims are now being treated in the UK. They are almost untouchable. Everyone seems to be scared of them

Let me start off by saying I'm not a religous person, never have been and never will. But I'm very interested in religion and I've been studying it for a few years now. I'm not here to mock anyones beliefs as everyone is different and I respect that.
What is surprising me as of late is the way the muslims are now being treated in the UK. They are almost untouchable. Everyone seems to be scared of them. Why is that? We see them on TV nearly everyday stating their beliefs and if anyone argues with them they are labeled a racist?
As far as I'm aware the UK is a Christian state (correct me if I'm wrong) so why does the Queen and Parliment allow this? I'm sure if this was the case a few hundred years ago then there would be a war as it would be treated as an invasion. But now they give muslims a house, cars, phones and money to stay in the UK.
Is there something more sinister going on in the background that we don't know about? maybe they want a big mixed religious community that are fighting each other all the time? Or are they scared of the muslims?
Your thoughts please as none of this makes sense to me?
My whole point of this thread (which I now wonder why the hell I done it) is that it seems like the Muslims are treated differently by the "People in charge" they are almost scared of them.
Notice how people are scared to even flag this thread.

There is little difference between Islam and Christianity so if you have no problems with the latter then you should be fine with the former.

A simple question if I may...
What charges would be brought against a person in these circumstances
I attacked a muslim
A muslim attacks me
Now I know the answer since both scenarios have occurred but I'll let you lot have a guess first.

There is a worsening problem in the UK with effective ghettos existing around the country, a growing anti-British decent within young muslim males, a very dangerous extremist element with a good foothold and a general lack of integration with many. Debate must be open and frank but it is stifled.
The problem imo is the multicultural experiment that has gone wrong. Instead of being allowed to develop naturally the government has interfered and tried to make an artificial community but in doing so have alienated many and put up these barriers to debate I mentioned earlier.
The issue goes much further than Islam in the UK, I think we’re very confused about race in this country and we need to be much more open to sort it out.

Muslims are being treated differently. Governments are afraid of reprisals. If you claim they are not then you obviously haven't had direct dealings with them. I honestly believe we are going to get an apostate pope who denies the deity of Christ, and Islam will be the one world religion.
Write this prediction down, it will happen...

OP, I am not sure what you are referring to about the Muslims in the UK. Is this in reference to the recent protests by Muslims calling the returning soldiers terrorists and baby killers? If so, do you think your government should disallow this sort of protest? It does seem anti-British to me, but isn't that their right, as citizens of your country to protest what they believe is a wrong? Should maybe citizens of Britain who agree with what the government is doing get off their duffs and rally round the troops, making signs and shouting, etc.? Like, drown them out? I don't know much about what is going on in Britain.
Of course they are allowed their freedom of speech just in the same way people in america protested against sending american troops into Iraq/Iran All I'm saying is that the extreme Muslims seem to be able to do what they want in a Christian Country. This seems strange to me
