That statement dismisses itself. Does it not?

No it isn't. If I don't want to adopt their ways, why should I?

It's all a load of cobblers. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever and no God worth following would want people to waste their lives with that kind of crackpot behaviour, in my very honest opinion.
backward philosophy? treat women as a second class citizen? loads of tosh that is mate, no disrespect, but thats b*llox. You have no idea what Islam is. Its not the religion that treats women to be below men, this has been before Islam even emerged! back in the dark ages in the Middle East, where there were bedouen tribes and villages scattered all over the desert in the gulf region, where women were not treated equally, ask any historian and he will tell you this. Infact Islam puts women and men together they teach you to respect the other gender and to care. However, most of you watch the news, look at Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan etc... then assume that women are treated like sh!te because of Islam. This is a cultural aspect, not a religious aspect which has been there for a long long and long time. You have no idea what Ramadan means do you as well? Lando, sometimes you really need to educate yourself about other types of religion before you go on posting comments that are wrong and doesn't show any understanding on the religion type (Islam).

Good post mate. What some people seem to forget is that it is only a relatively short while ago that women were seen very much as second class citizens in the West. When I first joined the Civil Service in the early 70's a wife was a chattel in law as well as in practise, and had no rights to tax allowances in her own right (I think this only changed completely in 1990)
When I first entered the private sector I was told that "they didn't like to employ women because they only got pregnant and leave and they just distracted the men from their jobs anyway!"

Christians also have restrictions on what and when they can eat. Lent for example. No meat on a friday was another, no meat on Good Friday,etc etc
Then we have sexual repression (no contraceptives) and all gays are condemed to hell, priests and Nuns who can't marry, yet seemingly its ok to abuse young children?
Flagilation, people nailed to the cross and various other tortures are still performed by the extemist minority.
Most religions have people who will take it to extremes, and maybe its only the fact that religion for the majority in the West is now more or less a choose your own belief system rather than rules to live your life by that has diminished the problem.
Personally I think the world would be better off if we had no gods and no religions, because there will always be people who take ANYTHING to extremes and others that will follow them like sheep.

Check OECD reports on birth rates also in western countries, I think this is why SIOS protest in fear of becoming an ethnic minority in Britain.
The British public have had to swallow the political view of left wing notions for far too long now, to the point where it has become silly to say the least. Protestors who used their democratic right against the opening of a mosque which without compassion and diplomacy opended on the annivesrsary of 9/11. Where labelled as racists' this card has been used far too much now and people I suspect are becoming sick and tired of having to tread on eggshells where ethnic minorities are concerned.
As for 'trying to construct a proper argument' that all seems a bit rich coming from the ignorance of someone who couldn't be ar.sed to get all the their facts straight about the protesters and the timing of the mosque being opened.
Indeed it is tiresome.
What do you think the aim of 'Stop the Islamisation Of Europe' is?

No, I don't need to educate myself about Islam, because I have no desire to know anything about it.
Is alcohol not banned?
Do you not starve yourselves for Ramadan? (I know it's meant to teach patience and spirituality, and that it's a way of asking for forgiveness for their sins, etc. If it were me and I were nutty on Islam, I would not commit any sins throughout the year and carry on eating - is that an option?)
Are women not treated like 2nd-class citizens? (No matter the reason, it's the way of things in Muslim countries. If the religion said "women and men are equal", that bearded dustbin c*nt wouldn't treat them like sh*t, because no interpretation of the religion would come to that conclusion.
If it ordered that women and men were equal, women would be allowed to make eye contact, speak to outsiders, show more than their eyes, etc, etc, etc.)
I haven't just imagined this - it's how it is.
The religion on the whole is full of goodness and light. It's just a pity it's unlikely to be real.

Nothing unites like a shared hatred (Britain had France many centuries ago to cement it as a country) You just need a common enemy. Blame the Luxemburgers for all Britains problems and I bet it wouldn't be long before white britains and muslim young men started to look for pesky luxemburgers to beat up. There are so few of them around you'd have peace on the streets.
Perfect sensible solution.
