Yes before people ask I do have alot of Asian friends, and I get on well with them, because they are making something of there lives here.
It is about time the communities got together and BOTH SIDES draw there lines on what to publically celebrate or what to keep private.

whilst i agree that asian 'intergration' is questionable at times it does not excuse the fact that this is a celebration of a particular ethnic minority in the UK, its not about
telling non-muslims to do this or behave like this but its about being allowed to celebrate eid (like christmas to non muslims)
there was a program which i saw on channel 4 a few days ago. i didnt quite catch it all but it mentioned how Islamiphobia is being misused in the asian community, and brabnding people racists at every oppertunity, but the sam ecan be said for racism against black people, so it evens itself out.
i dont see a problem with this at all
