Arbooz, you are so right. You can't fly the Union Jack on your house because it's offensive to Muslims. You can't eat at your desk during Ramadan. St. George is offensive because he killed Muslims centuries ago. Don't teach Winston Churchill in school because some Muslims deny the Holocaust!! Here it's foot baths in airports and colleges, no alcohol in taxis, separate classes for boys and girls in public schools, prayer breaks on company time. They just got a Christian evangelist taken off tv in Tampa because he spoke against Islam. Newsflash, Christians don't believe in Allah!

With all due respect to the Brits, the point is not immigration but assimilation. Are the newcomers becoming British/American or are they keeping their own language and culture and simply living among us? England is vulnerable because of size and the EU. America is under assault from three directions: Mexico, CAIR, and the ACLU. The same secular humanism that has been pushing Christianity out of the public square for decades now rolls out the red carpet for Islam. Christians who find abortion, pornography, homosexuality offensive are small minded bigots. Muslims who hate the same things, plus alcohol and dogs, are peaceful, devout people who must be given every accomodation they ask for.

As far as I'm concerned, they don't get to live in our countries and enjoy the fruits of other people's sacrifices, yet despise the culture that made them want to come here in the first place. Western culture has got to stop apologizing and stand up for our way of life. If their way was better we'd all be emigrating to their countries.

The UK governemnt encourages flag flying more than ever at the moment. Most Brits don’t even know waht Ramadan is, never mind not eating during it. And having gone through the UK education system: Winston Churchill, in my experience, was never taught in my history classes as everyone knew about him anyway. If changes have been made, then will have been to refresh the curriculum (not pander to a small minority).
