Islamaphobia is getting out of control

Kandinsky

*Because he is popular? He is doing stuff Londoners like? He isn’t corrupt*

He definitely isn’t popular & he’s not doing stuff Londoners like. I live here.

He gets voted in because London has a very high Muslim population - and they vote him in.

That doesn’t stack up Kandinsky, there are 1.3m Muslims out of 9m Londoners (2021 figures).

Snap.

You know I said that Islamaphobia is getting out of control……..

Can you please stop putting your passive aggressive smiley faces after most of posts.
I don’t know what you find so hilarious about these debates that you start?
It’s childish as best, and a bit creepy.

You’re assuming all 9 million Londoners vote.
you know voter turn out is pathetic in many elections, so you can cut that 9 million in half for a start.

You may not be aware that I endeavour never ever to become personal in any of my posts.

It gets us nowhere.

Okay, so if half of Londoners vote, and all Muslims vote there would be 1.3m Muslims out of 4.5m total voters, so 3.2 non Muslim voters. It still doesn’t stack up. Obviously some are children so not eligible to vote, but that would apply to all groups.

I’ll just leave you two to it.
You’re on a wind up and I doubt you’re really that interested in debate.
You just seem bored and looking for arguments.

Someone else can indulge you.

I expect that you would feel very different about the ULEZ charge if you had young children suffering because of car pollution every day of their lives.

To the rest of us it is a mild irritant to a young child it is their life.

I have asthma which is probably why I was so ill when I caught Covid.
I’m aware of the problems of air pollution. Heathrow has no housing in the area where you pick up passengers, it’s money making pure and simple.

No wind up. I just can’t stand hyperbole.

I agree with you Kandinsky. Not so very long ago we were a Christian country - the day will come when we are a predominantly Muslim country. I’m not happy about the change - if anyone wants to call that Islamophobia so be it. I don’t like the thought of being outnumbered in my own country. What Anderson said wasn’t far off the mark.

SeaWoozle and Maybee, 30p Lee makes me think of the scarecow song from The Wizard of Oz : " If I only had a brain". Can't comment on his heart.

I just read something interesting which made me think. Hinduism. These people don't make aggressive claims. No terrorists. They live and let live and generally just get on. Hence there's no Hinduphobia. What is so special about Islam or Judaism that so many demands are made by them?

What demands are made by Jews ?

Kadinsky, fwiw I see your posts as the wind ups. You’re also sailing very close to Islamophobia.

Anniebach- Palestine!!

It really isn’t down to Muslims that white British people are increasingly unlikely to identify as Christians.

I agree Iam - but white British people will be in the minority.

I lived bang next to the Regent's Park Mosque when it was first opened, late 1970's. I'm not saying it was a popular addition to the community, but there were certainly no attacks and no protests around it in those days. There were no protection officers and no obvious security or cctv. Infact it existed quietly, (except at prayer time), alongside daily life. No fear, no hostility either way. That was not so very long again.
All I can think is that it is the sheer increase in number if Muslims and their demonstrative behaviour that has give rise to an increase in Islamophobia.
(Not spelt Islamaphobia).

*ago not again

The world is changing - as it has in the past. There are wars and famine leading to safe Northern Europe having to accommodate people fleeing to safety. Many of those who land on our shores have family or historical links. English may be a 2nd language because of empire/colonisation

And as a result ‘safe Northern Europe’ becomes much less so.

Spain, Portugal, Holland, and France all had empires. Spanish is the second most usual language spoken in the world I believe, but I think Mandarin/Chinese may be getting quite close.
Just saying out of interest.

Clearly Europe is not as safe as it used to be in view of the many terrorist attacks that have taken place in the last few years. Nor America either after the twin towers (alongside their awful gun crime statistics.)
Whilst the majority of immigrants of all faiths settle in Europe peacefully, I simply don’t understand the mindset that brings some people to Europe and then to attack them.

Sounds very much like “rivers of blood” to me.

Wrong then and wrong now.
