By 2030, Muslims will be 8% - not anywhere near a majority.

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank...ion-in-europe/

Quote:

In their study, Westoff and Frejka sift through the available data to estimate the level and trends in childbearing among European Muslims. They show that although Muslim immigrants do have more children than other Europeans, their fertility tends to decline over time, often faster than among non-Muslims.

In Austria, for example, Muslim women had a total fertility rate (an estimate of lifetime births per woman) of 3.1 children per woman in 1981, well above the 1.7 average for the majority Roman Catholic women. By 2001, the rate for Catholics had fallen to 1.3, but the Muslim rate had fallen to 2.3—leaving a difference of just one child per woman between Muslims and non-Muslims.

Just a heads-up for anyone donating via JustGiving:
Quote:

Concerns about fraud have prompted fund-raising website JustGiving to review all pages raising money for the victims of the Westminster attack.
Money raised for victims will not be automatically released until verified.
For the first time, the company has taken direct control of a crowd-funding page, which any individual can set up.

I think what EVERYONE should do. Is simply this.
If you think something in your road, your next door neighbour could be acting strange. then report it.

It may be a starnge thing to say. BUT, this how things start.

Remember, the ******* lived in a normal street. And then went and carried out this horrible attack.

Call your local Police safer neighbourhood team and let them check it out.

Some people tell me things - and you would be total surprised at what l find out.

A man has been arrested in Birmingham by police investigating the Westminster terror attack, in which four people were killed.
The Met Police said the 30-year-old was being held on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.
Another man, 58, arrested in Birmingham on Thursday, remains in custody.

Yes it's how we start with a terror state where people can't say or do anything else some neighbour reports it and the poor sod ends up having to explain away to the "authorities".

Certainly we need to be aware but we also need to allow that other people are "different" and may not fit into what we think is "normal" and yet not be a threat.

The more i see of Arthurs posts the more i think he would have been the perfect soviet citizen as quite a few of his ideas are more soviet union then UK. I was very disgusted and disappointed to see the temporary memorial being abused by the pro EU marchers who seemed to think it was there for them to highlight their agenda.

When someone went to remove the pro EU rubbish he was insulted by these great examples one label was that he was a facist clearly thrown by someone who doesn't understand what a real facist is. Basically Damian they laid their pro EU banners and the like at the memorial site completely disrespectful but given disrespect is a daily routine for many of them i shouldn't have been surprised.

But a few people on a march who left placards by the memorial aren't representative of everyone. There were hundreds and hundreds of flowers and condolence messages. If you only choose to focus on the worst then you're only ever going to be angry. You could choose to focus on the vast majority of them who were polite and respectful or the minority who behaved badly. You see rows and rows of flowers, then a handful of placards, and your entire world is about the latter.

Terrorism teaches a lesson that some still refuse to learn
Quote:

After last month’s attack in Westminster there seemed to be an even more concerted effort than usual to say that the perpetrator – a Muslim convert called Khalid Masood – probably suffered from some mental illness, was a mere madman, criminal or drug addict. Various Muslims who knew Masood promised in the media that he hadn’t really been religious at all.....
This swiftly became the story. Man drives car into pedestrians on Westminster bridge and stabs a policeman to death. Nothing to see here. Certainly nothing to do with Islam. Probably to do with everything else in the world. But nothing to do with Islam.

The Church of England helped to spread around this fudge. At an interfaith service held in Westminster Abbey shortly after the attack (and before PC Keith Palmer was even buried) the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend John Hall declared that the nation was ‘bewildered’ by the attack.....

as the excellent Kim Sengupta reports this morning, the final WhatsApp messages sent just minutes before Masood began his rampage have become available. These messages, sent to a friend, reveal that the 52-year old convert:

‘Declared that he was waging jihad in revenge against Western military action in Muslim countries in the Middle East’

I wonder if the Dean of Westminster and the wider society will now drop the ‘we may never know’ stuff? I would guess not. Not because people like the Dean of Westminster are stupid. Far from it. But because it would mean having to learn the only lesson that they refuse to learn.

RizzyKing 29-04-2017 03:20

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
 
There will come a point where everyone has to realise that islam and modern western societies don't go together and cannot peacefully coexist much as we'd like it to be possible. Radical islam has a stronger grasp in the UK today then ever before and it's influence is increasing with moderate muslims either moving mosques or simply staying quiet. It just isn't practical to blame every incident on lunatic loner's anymore there is a huge issue within islam that the religion either won't or can't deal with and the longer it continues the worse the problem will become and the higher the death toll will be.

So what are you saying , we should ban Islam? There are extremists everywhere sometimes using religion as an excuse. 99% from all religions live in harmony. Making people feel outsiders us going to increase the risk of radicalism and make them less likely to report others they suspect within their community.

Of course not! The only way that this problem will eventually be tackled is through baby steps and the first step is for the liberal west to actually acknowledge that islam has a problem at it's heart, rather than burying our heads in the sand and blaming the problem on anything but islam. That will allow moderate muslims to voice their fears about what's going on and then we can slowly work towards a solution.

How do you think most plots including the most recent one are foiled, it's because friends and family get involved and inform the authorities. If anyone is turning a blind eye it's the prison service that allow vulnerable, impressionable young men lacking confidence, direction and a sense of belonging convert to Islam for better food and conditions and watch them slowly become radicalised. We could do something about it but it'd cost money and not only don't we like spending it we also like to sell everything of so don't expect those private companies that do it so much better than the public sector to spend a penny piece they don't have to addressing the problem, not when it's far easier to blame the community for turning a blind eye.

What I'm saying is there needs to be a change in islam if it is to continue in western countries lets not pretend that extremism is the only issue with islam. There needs to be an acknowledgement within islam that the problem exists and if they can't resolve it they need to accept help in resolving it and we need to stop making excuses when things happen in case we offend someone. We are spending so much time and effort trying not to offend this group and that group that sod all gets done and if we are not careful we will politically correct ourselves out of existence.

I'm not a muslim and being honest I don't really care about the inner workings of islam i just want it to peacefully coexist or stick to it's traditional geographical areas and we stick to ours i definately don't want to see anymore dead because of it.

You seem to be confusing people who are Islamic and speak out about things with the whole of Islam - that's like saying the Westboro Baptist Church, the KKK, and the Reverend Ian Paisley represent The whole of Christianity.

Or that Harold Shipman represents all doctors.

Difference is that we are only too happy to denounce Westboro, the KKK and Paisley but when it comes to radical islam we will bend over backwards to blame the atrocities on something, anything, else.

I don't know who this 'we' are - everyone I know denounces terrorist attacks, be they from Islamic Extremists, right wing nutters (aka 'lone wolves'), or anyone else...

There may be a few apologists for these idiots, but they are in a vast minority.

The reality is that because of the despicable actions of people like Shipman and now Ian Paterson, the whole of the medical profession comes under closer scrutiny. Is that fair to the vast majority of decent and honourable medics? No. Is it inevitable in order to try to prevent it happening again? Yes.

Most men aren't paedophiles or rapists yet the actions of the minority who are impinges upon the rights and freedoms of every man to the extent that different rules apply to males and females when it comes to matters of child protection. Is that fair?

We all know that most Muslims are just normal decent people but sadly the actions of a few mean that they will inevitably come under closer scrutiny and that is unfair but it's inevitable just like it was in the days when the IRA were bombing the UK and entirely innocent Irish people came under suspicion. The same happened in the wake of the 7/7 attacks and whilst it's very sad it's entirely understandable.

But in the case of muslim terrorist attacks, without attributing the attack to islam.

Should an attack be attributed to the religion of the perpetrator immediately? Presumably attributing the cause can't be done until the police investigation has concluded.

If religion has played any part in an individuals actions then it is right to scrutinise that religion and if it's being twisted or distorted to promote violent actions then it is right that action be taken to resolve that. Whether some like it or not the action and the religion cannot be so easily seperated in islamic terror attacks. I have to be honest as an atheist i am puzzled why all traditional western religions are fair game for any attacks and criticism but islam is not with people bending over backwards not to say or do anything that might possibly cause muslims offence.

In most muslim countries they are good at telling visitors and workers from outside that they have to adapt to their country and that the country won't bend to accomadate them but here in the west we are constantly adapting to their needs usually because they complain about our intolerance, racism or ignorance brilliant example of having your cake and eating it and more fool us for putting up with it for so long.
