What a false argument. Most of the immigrants do not try to change the country. Don't you know anything. What did the Windrush generation do? What did the asians fleeing Idi Amin do? And yet people like you drone on and make blanket allegations to show your political orientation.. It is a handful of moslems.
You use that current terrorism to turn the country back to what? The pre war era??? When you talk about laws remember that there are many law abiding immigrants or else you sound like a BNP supporter.
Try and be specific THe Fundamentalist moslems are the problem not multiculturalsim.
Look at this

Muslims in the UK don't live with other Britons, they set up areas which are only Muslim areas, they won't buy from white british business owners, they don't vote in elections, they even go as far as setting up there own law system (sharia)
This is the issue.
The truth is only 'some' muslims do what you say, like only 'some' black people do the same, and even 'some' white people.
I see plenty of Muslims in ASDA and Sainburys lol, I'm not sure where your going here, but there are all kinds of Muslims in this country. Not one is the same as the other, just like with anything else.

If you want to live in the UK, live with other British people, vote in our elections, promote British Values!
Plenty if not most Muslims do this. I think the word 'some' is important when your talking about this subject, it really helps make your points more believable, instead of obviously invalid. Seriously.edit on 5-2-2011 by _Phoenix_ because: (no reason given)
Clearly a few posters here are still enjoying their upper middle class lives, living in a quaint, Edwardian style English village.
Muslims do not contribute to our economy. Most work and deal under the table to avoid paying taxes. Any earnings are kept within their own community, with a great deal of funds being wired abroad every month (Pakistan, Bangladesh)
If you want to see examples of multiculturalism. u2u me your address and I'll pick you up in my van and we can take a drive to suburbs in Manchester, Birmingham oh and Cardiff. In my travels for work I've strayed into Muslim controlled areas on rare occasions. I've had my van bricked, been threatened with machetes, followed and hounded by Muslim gangs driving pimped out Beemers and Mercs. And just for being a white-van-man.
Cardiff is my personal favourite though. What was once a shining beacon of Welsh rule and culture is now a virtual no go zone. With just about the entire city under Muslim control

God's country
Which God? The middle eastern one?
Our Religion?
Are you again referring to the middle eastern one, that Rome Spread and HenryVIII bastardised?
Or do you mean our orginal religion, Paganism?
Personally I prefer NO religion, for me its proved to be the most hateful thing I've ever been forced to be part of. Having a nun tie my left hand to a chair behind my back as a kid so I could not use my left hand which was my natural choice is nothing short of sadism.
Multiculturalism causes more problems than it fixes.
For it to be a false argument, I would have to be wrong, you're going to have some fun trying to prove that, since throughout documented history empires and countries have been destroyed by multiculturalism.
Being called a BNP supporter is such a terrible thing /sarcasm, it's just a label you place on people to help you polarize the world in your own little mind. Don't bother labeling me as I am neither a racist or a bigot, I've just lived all over the world and I know how these things work, but I think that does makes me a realist.

Damn.
My Grandmother in British Guiana got the same treatment as a little girl and she developed a stammer. I can fully understand your annoyance. I have been in and out of the military bases in Northern Ireland during the troubles and was at risk from both sides>
I am glad that we both support some form of multiculturalism.

I have to admit that it does look as if multculturalism hasn't worked out too well in the UK.
But, I think it's too easy to blame just the immigrants.
How have the UK traditionally treated immigrants?
It's easy to say that the immigrants haven't intergrated, but how were they supposed to?
When I grew up in the 70's and 80's, any families in my area of a different colour, or culture were shunned, and even openly abused, verbally and physically.
So, how were these people supposed to intergrate? Keep taking abuse untill they wear the locals down, or just stay within their own communities for reassurance and safety?
I know what I would have done.
So, I do feel ashamed and disappointed that it has come to this.
Singapore’s Lee: we can’t integrate Muslims Andrew Bolt:
Singapore’s presiding genius, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, on the failure of Muslim integration: In the book, Mr Lee, when asked to assess the progress of multiracialism in Singapore, said: “I have to speak candidly to be of value, but I do not wish to offend the Muslim community. “I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came, and if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration – friends, intermarriages and so on, Indians with Chinese, Chinese with Indians – than Muslims. That’s the result of the surge from the Arab states.” He added: ”I would say today, we can integrate all religions and races except Islam.” He also said: “I think the Muslims socially do not cause any trouble, but they are distinct and separate.” Not endorsing, not rejecting. Just noting. More here from the launch of the book: Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going. H/T: TROP
