2003 stats indicate 71% of immigrants granted settlement originated from Asia or Africa ( source: Economic & Social Research Council). Countries whose populations are 90% to 100% Muslim include Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen (source: Middle East Policy Council). Note that most of these are Asia, Arab and African countries (plus some East European for good measure).

Probably unreasonable to most PC people, but still we are importing the enemy amongst us.

How about the Prevention of Terrorism Act, stop & search, ID cards, 90 day detainment without arrest. IMO all come about with increase in terrorism and immigrant presence.
