The country I was born in has changed to accommodate ethnic minorities but at the expense imo of our rights. Minorities settled in our country for a reason,whether 1 2 3 or more generations ago. It was because they wanted a better life than the life they had in their own countries. And before you say Islam is not a race I know this but it is only so big in this country because is been bought in from elsewhere. If their own land was not good enough why try and change ours? I have no problem with you worshipping how and where you want but why does the county have to change? PC ethics white men not able to say what they want in fear of someone screaming discrimination
And before you think I treat anyone different cuz of race have I gave you any impression of that when you have pmed me for help? no but in threads like this I will post how I feel  |
Zing, to start with, i do not, and i say this irregardless of how you have responded to my questions, feel you treat people, as individuals, different because of race or religion.
I don't agree with some of your opinions and arguments regarding islam, immigration and minorities. I do think your view of muslims in britain as a whole, is unfair and tainted by actions of the minority of muslims. Now as far as i am aware, we have conducted our arguments and debates without causing each other offence. Unfortunately there are many instances where debate is not conducted with respect, with more often than not the offensive party hiding behind the freedom of speech act. My argument is that offensive people should not be able to get away with it. I don't see why a victim should have to grow thicker skin as you say.
At the end of the day no one really knows what was said in that hotel. I do find it sad that some of the opinions formed of the muslim woman have been made simply because she's a muslim, and before the papers printed she was a white english convert, because everyone assumed she was an immigrant.
