Be our stereotype or I swear we'll nuke you.

London has had Islamic and Arab populations since the 1950’s and 60’s. Until 1989 and the Rushdie affair, they were no problem.
London is a city, and by nature multicultural. It has always taken in immigrants: Jews, Irish, blacks, Sikhs and Hindus, Italians, Greeks, HK Chinese, Asians etc. So the idea that London has been a white city with British/English only is a fiction of old Sherlock Holmes films. There have been non whites in London since the 1700s. The first black policeman in the UK was in London in 1837.
Yes, there is a sizeable Muslim pop in the city, but most of the city is NOT Muslim. And contrary to hype/myth, there are still plenty of areas of London which are white native. And areas where Muslims are few.
Finally, London is not England or the UK, anymore than NY or LA are America. 96% of the UK is NOT Muslim. 92% of the UK is white. Three parts of the UK have tiny Muslim and ethnic populations: Scotland, Wales and NI. All with 1% or less Muslim populations and small ethnic populations.
The UK has serious issues with extreme Islam that it is and needs to continue to address. BUT it is also important to counter the myths, lies and outright rubbish spoken about the UK and to discuss the issue knowing the real facts about the UK, not internet myth and heresay.
It is still is. It wont be ruined. Whilst the UK has problems with Islam, a lot of what you read here and in the US is OTT to say the least.
Do tell.
Another myth: Muslims are the biggest ethnic UK group. Not true. Black British from the Caribbean migration of 1948 through the 50s/60s are the largest ethnic group. Add to that black non Muslim Africans.
The largest ethnic influx of the last 25 yrs ironically has been the WHITE influx from Poland and Eastern Europe, under easier EU travel rules.
I think that’s rather the point.
London and the UK never was the London and UK of films. Only the barmy or ignorant think Scotland was like Brigadoon or Greyfriars Bobby. Or London was the London of Sherloc’ Olmes.
Be our stereotype or I swear we'll nuke you.
When asked why Europe has to change their ways to accommodate Muslims, she says because it must be such a culture shock to move from someplace that is so "orthodox" to a place like Europe. It's Europe's duty to change to lessen that culture shock for them.
In 2010 the census had London at 45% foreigners. Half. Today, it is no doubt much more than that.
“needs to continue to address”
Continue? The UK hasn’t even started to.
This “address” word is nothing but a dismissive word used by liars when they need to trivialize something.
They don’t call it Londonstan for nothing.
Actually we have.
We have anti-extremist programs, we’ve jailed many extremists. But hey, I am just someone who actually lives in the UK, what do I know.
And address, Einstein, means that its a deep rooted social issue within a community which we need to expose and root out. We wont beat extremism by being John Wayne all day.
” what do I know.”
Not much. Your propaganda is well known here on FR, an American website.
You first tried to claim there were no muslim neighborhoods in London, but after overwhelming evidence to the contrary you had to change your bs story.
I hear ya....it’s sad & it’s not getting better. Refugees are still pouring into the UK.
Never claimed such a thing.
F*ck off.
Your personal attacks on me on FR are also well known.
You have outright lied many times and claimed I have made comments and posts I have never done.
I have never claimed there are no Muslim areas of London, nor did I change any such claim.
If I did so, POST THEM OR STFU.
The London I toured in the 1970s is light years from the festering Muslim cesspit it is now.
“I have never claimed there are no Muslim areas of London”
Not my job to go back and do research on you. You are not my hero not worth m time except to call you out on your propaganda.
Your, “There are no muslims neighborhoods in London”, routine got real old.
