    rather than any "explosion" in the British Muslim population.

    How disappointing.
    How wrong.

    The Muslim population in Britain has grown by more than 500,000 to 2.4 million in just four years
    The population multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society, the research by the Office for National Statistics reveals

      Having read the thread should I take it that Ms Booth is in fact Tony Blair's sister in law?

          Ok, I'll come clean. I'm not racist, I couldn't give a toss what colour somebody's skin is. However, I do not really agree with multiculturalism and I think it has been proved to be a failed experiment with potentially disastrous consequences.

          Whoever comes to this country should be allowed to follow their religious and cultural customs within certain parameters. What are these parameters? Hard to say but I would venture that anything that is at odds with a centuries old established order would be outside of them. Imams bellowing from minarets and women dressing up in burqas are outside of these parameters, as is the ritual slaughter of animals.

          As a corollary to this, I lived and worked in Brazil for several years - one of the most diverse nations on earth. Great people and I made a lot of friends there.I'd have no beef with areas of my home town resembling Ipanema (some chance) if a load of Brazilians migrated there. I wouldn't, on the other hand, be very keen to see it looking like Karachi. There you go, terrible isn't it but if that's what makes you a racist then you must be right about me.

            I am half German, half Irish, both sides of my family had to change names 'to fit in'.

            You want to see reigious tolerance then come to Glasgow, the person you are punching because he is punching you has never heard of the word parameter before.

              These seem to imply you are somewhat of the Jewish persuasion - which is perfectly acceptable to me.

                  Yep. I know and I find it abhorrent. For the record, I'm secular.

I feel the same way about Julie Birchill when she goes on about wanting to be Jewish and flying the Israeli flag in her garden.
                    Give me a gun and I'll shoot Julie bleeding Burchill.
