Tbf the Welsh language is slowly gaining popularity. It's their country and I'm all for it.

Not that it's much use out of Wales but I respect it ... Which others entering our island fail to do ... Respect our way of life.

Working in a Welsh speaking school for 8 years I picked up a bit. It's difficult though.

Went to classes for a year but stopped once they stopped funding.

I know enough to piss off the local pub goers when they start slating the English. None of them know what I'm on about though 😁

Being the only non-smackhead whitey on Deane Rd is quite an experience. I've also  walked from Gibraltar Street to the Vulcan pub a few times and, not even joking, I haven't seen another white person 🙃

Only a joke. But you're not risking your life walking down Chorley Old Road, unless you're staggering into the road in front of cars. There aren't loads of Muslims hiding in the bushes waiting to jump out and stab you.

No there isn't, they are not the problem, it's the gangs of Eastern Europeans hanging around outside the shops, using the Shell garage as a base and causing trouble,

Gangs of youths always hang around outside shops, regardless of their birthplace.

I was setting it up for a why the hell are they so vocal about then post....

Then Cheese served an ace

But my point is people were quick to say Muslims shouldn't have to come out and apologise for things nothing to do with them.

Likewise they shouldnt be getting their knickers in a twist now about some scroats getting beat up in an airport.

It's fuck all do with them.

 

😁

 agree with that bit

I think you're assumption @only1swanny was referring to youths might be incorrect

Yuck.

Are you okay mate?

Obviously some people won’t believe this happened because Tommy Robinson posted it. Anyway 2024 and there’s people, as expected, outside a police station, making threats to serving police officers whilst chucking objects at the building. 

Sad thing about all this is when the police fail to do their job, you see the many clips on social media of police running away, police failing  to make arrests, police who you can see are totally incapable of doing their job and nothing is done to them, they’re just laughed at. These are the coppers who should be getting suspended 
 

 

Well, the officer has been suspended and referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, so perhaps the promotion and pay rise suggested by @royal white will come from that. 

Genuinely quite shocked and saddened at some of these posts on here.

There are so many kind, caring and friendly Muslim families who live in this country and in our town. 

I see this regularly and those who know me well know I witness this on a regular basis. 

Maybe I shouldn’t bite. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding some twisted humour that exists on here at times.

It reminds me why I don’t come on this side of the forum too much.

Just felt it needed saying.

Adios! 

in the last 12 months ive  used

You mean the same Muslims who are no fans of gay people or the Muslim countries who throw them off buildings for their sensuality? 🙃

You want to see what they say about us on Pakiways.

Khadchgall is on there defending our culture to the hilt.

How may of those are in this country?

Or are you saying social values here should be the same elsewhere?

In which case will you be registering your disgust with all nations that have similar or stronger beliefs?

Equally then, you will agree that such values should not be permitted here.

However, they are not being dealt with and unfortunately people like you turn that around and refer to those objecting as racist etc.

Remarkable double standards.

Why?

Seems like another instance someone seeing only black or white.

Not doubt there are many decent Muslims here. Not the point whatsoever.

There are many, and increasingly more, that aren't decent.

I've also witnessed behaviour through work, some good some bad.

 

My wife was also sexually assaulted by a Pakistani teen over here visiting relatives. 

Thought that white women are easy, and essentially worthless.

I'd have kicked the cunt in the head if I'd been there.

Thought it needed saying. 

 

So if you raise some issues with Islam and some of their cultures and core beliefs and how they don't necessarily integrate well with our society you are right wing.

But then by being right wing it's automatically assumed you don't like gays?

Jesus.

So then we have the left wing who are usually pro LBTQ+ defending to the hilt a faith and set of beliefs that deplore homosexuality.  

Jesus.

That's where it all breaks down.

I personally am that liberal I can't stand a faith or ideology that constraints women and putting it mildly opposes homosexuallty and everything that comes with it. 

Same goes for any faith. Islam is different to others though, clearly.

Yep.

Muslim percentage in England approx 6.7%

In Scotland 1.4%

In Edinburgh less that 3%

London around 15%

Old milltowns etc- the ones we all know- are all significantly higher than the average.

Edinburgh is quite an expensive place, and I would imagine that the majority of Muslims and indeed any group, are on average, better educated and well off than those elsewhere.

As such, social attitudes will be more closely aligned.

 

Increasingly, those born here are becoming more "extreme", with a number of factors behind that.

Increasingly areas are becoming more separated, and not integrated.

Living in self-righteous, ideological cloud cuckoo land will achieve 100% of fuck all.
