UK Equalities Chief ’‘I Thought Muslims Would Blend into Britain… I Should Have Known Better’
Breitbart ^ | April 10,2016 | RAHEEM KASSAM

Phillips, a former elected member of the Labour Party who served as the Chairman of the EHRC from 2003-2012 will present “What British Muslims Really Think” on Channel 4 on Wednesday. An ICM poll released to the Times ahead of the broadcast reveals:

One in five Muslims in Britain never enter a non-Muslim house;

39 per cent of Muslims, male and female, say a woman should always obey her husband;

31 per cent of British Muslims support the right of a man to have more than one wife;

52 per cent of Muslims did not believe that homosexuality should be legal;

23 per cent of Muslims support the introduction of Sharia law rather than the laws laid down by parliament.

Writing in the Times on the issue, Phillips admits: “Liberal opinion in Britain has, for more than two decades, maintained that most Muslims are just like everyone else… Britain desperately wants to think of its Muslims as versions of the Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, or the cheeky-chappie athlete Mo Farah. But thanks to the most detailed and comprehensive survey of British Muslim opinion yet conducted, we now know that just isn’t how it is.”

Even left wing columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown told him: “[W]e [liberal Muslims] are a dying breed — in 10 years there will be very few of us left unless something really important is done.”

Phillips comments: “Some of my journalist friends imagine that, with time, the Muslims will grow out of it. They won’t.”

Mr. Phillips’s comments echo those of the Czech president, and research from across Europe that revealed attitudes amongst Muslims on the continent have hardened. The younger the Muslim, the more likely they are to hold hard-line views, one recent study found.

It’s time the UK stopped misappropriating islamic culture. Re-patriate most or all of them to their homelands. Consider letting the ones stay who’ve lived there for two generations without getting in trouble, on a case by case basis.

Maybe if you had paid better attention during the medieval history classes, you would have an idea of what Europe had to deal with from around 700 to 1400.

Maybe if you had read up on what the new nation in America had to deal with in the early 1800s you would have realized why President Jefferson needed to create a navy -- to combat the Barbary Pirates (a.k.a., Islamic extremists).

Maybe if you had unstuck your head from the sand (or your posterior), you might have been able to perceive what was coming. It isn't rocket science. But, hey, don't feel too bad, because politicians in the Americas are doing the same. Just count the number of new mosques (a.k.a., training centers) that have sprung up in the last 15 years.

Protecting tradition, culture and successful family values are racist. Everyone knows that.

Imbecile.

Britain, Europe (and the USA if we don’t make some big changes pretty damn soon) will blend into Islam.

There sure as hell will be “assimilation”, just not what this guy expected.

Any culture that surrendered its past also surrenders its future.

if you don’t believe in something, you’ll fall for anything.

Like Islam.

Possibly these wishful thinker should have read the Koran, which has never gone out of style in mosques as the Bible has gone out of style in phony “Christian” churches. They should have also read “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” by Edward Gibbon, which shows the bloody conquest of Europe by the Muslim butcher, Saladin, among others.

Human nature has not changed, particularly Muslim human nature. Nations who try in integrate millions of Muslim true believers into their culture are committing national suicide.

Water and oil don’t mix but leftist fools will ‘deem it so’ by the fairness of equality and human good intentions.

Excrement doesn’t blend.

It just floats there.

Until flushed.

The money quote: "with time, the Muslims will grow out of it. They won’t.”

From Pamela Geller: VIDEO: 'THIS IS OUR COUNTRY NOW, GET OUT, YOU DIRTY T**T!' shout Muslim migrants in London

And they are all well off enough to own cell phones - probably paid for by the Brit taxpayers.

Muslims flee their sandrat hellholes and then try to turn their new country of residence into the replica of the toilet bowl they fled. Copy that for demoRats fleeing blue states.
Unholy alliance indeed.

One question was missing in this survey.

The % of Muslims who believe that homosexuals should be executed.

I’ll bet this is easily 20% - 30%.
