July 8, 201610 yr Thowt kids were excluded from partaking in the fasting until their balls dropped or started bleedingI always thought that was the way too but apparently some kids join in with the fasting too.Which even as a proper yoghurt knitting lefty is bloody ridiculous.
July 8, 201610 yr If that's correct then can we get a correlation with how much trouble they cause as a percentage of the total? Y'know, terrorism, grooming, flaunting road rules etc. I'm sure those figures are available, but i wouldn't know where I could find them. It does seem that 20% of those in Category A prisons are Muslim though....... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3424584/Muslims-UK-3-million-time-50-born-outside-Britain-Number-country-doubles-decade-immigration-birth-rates-soar.html The point that I was getting at is that there isn't actually as many in the country as some people might think - but that depends where you live. I can go days without seeing anybody with brown skin where I live, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody walking around in a burka close to where I live. I know that some people would be surprised that the overall number of Muslims in the country is under 5%, many will think it's actually a lot higher....but then I suppose many of those people automatically assume anybody with brown skin is Muslim

Once you're out of Preston heading this way there isn't one single area you'll find populated by Asians or others en masse. And that's covering Lytham right the way up to Lancaster.
July 8, 201610 yr Give it time, the star and crescent will be flying over Blackpool Tower in ten years time, and that laughing clown at the entrance to The Pleasure Beach? Gone, replaced by an anamatronic Abu Hamza - delivering a hate-filled sermon on a loop... The UK will be 86% Muslim then, mainly Turks coming because of the free trade agreement we'll have with The EU.

July 8, 201610 yr Because Halliwell Rd and Blackburn Rd did yesterday, with the majority of shops shut. Couldn't get a haircut at my usual Halal Barbers, it's a scandal ;-) See that's why in unsympathetic Not been a barbers for 10 years

July 8, 201610 yr Ask someone in Bolton where 1 in 250 people is a recently settled migrant and you will get a different answer from someone in Cornwall with a 1 in 500000 ratio.
July 8, 201610 yr I have lots of Islamic friends due to working with Turkish manufacturer for 25 years and they are great folk however I would prefer the UK to still be vast majority Christian whatever their skin colors is in 100 years time even though I'll be long gone.

I'd like to hope that in 100 years we'll have moved on from religion altogether.

It still will be a majority Christian country in 100 years - don't believe these dicks who would have you believe that we'll be some sort of caliphate by the turn of the century
July 8, 201610 yr When you say Christian.... We're pretty secular really aren't we? In reality, yes we are.....but most would still class themselves as Christian if asked, even if they aren't "practicing"
July 8, 201610 yr The number of muslims in the UK trebled from 1991 to 2011, to 2.7m The proportion increased from 1.86% to 4.83% A statistician would no doubt create a projection of the date when they become the majority
July 8, 201610 yr I reckon' Kent's projection/hope is well wide of the mark...We're on the downward slope now as far as progression goes (technology aside). In that vein, I hope in a hundred years we'll have thrown out all of these bloody invader religions from the Middle East and returned back to Paganism and/or Animism. Speaking personally I'd be well honoured to be garotted and chucked into a peat bog to ensure a good apple harvest.
July 8, 201610 yr I'm paraphrasing, but I believe the Koran urges you to feed your brethren during Eid; so as such, I have been grazing on some homemade delights all morning courtesy of my colleague.

July 8, 201610 yr I'm paraphrasing, but I believe the Koran urges you to feed your brethren during Eid; so as such, I have been grazing on some homemade delights all morning courtesy of my colleague. That old trick? Well it's been nice (digitally) knowing you... I nearly fell for that once, some 'friend' trying to pull the old Alexander Litvenenko trick on yours truly. Fortunately I checked her ingredients beforehand and found these, shameless in their honesty, they don't even try to hide it...

However, other experts believe that the higher birthrate of Muslims will drop to European levels. http://www.thecommentator.com/article/3770/the_islamic_future_of_britain

Well the UK has started on it's road to a progressive society; we've managed to get rid of Bolty for starters.

Youri, due to the ozone etc, Shatpool will be washed away before Abu Hamza can make good use of his claw as a jip wire on Gonzo's slot machines. Gonzo's Gnarvery will have been long relocated to the new beach resort of Croston. Sorry for being pedantic old bean, but you must read your crystal balls more.
July 8, 201610 yr Nah, they're sorting it out with those chemtrails, saw about four of 'em tonight, heading for the Fylde coast...
July 8, 201610 yr Well the UK has started on it's road to a progressive society; we've managed to get rid of Bolty for starters. Leave him alone, he's invented a new holiday down under ffs.
