Firstly I'd like to point out that most of those "Muslims" in the video sounded very English. Secondly, no where in the video does anyone say they are refugees, asylum seekers, or on benefits. Thirdly, I'm extremely impressed with the denunciation of these extremists by British Muslims.

i guess we should give you some acknowledgement like knighthood, besides your well-earned dosh?

a handful of extremists muslims being portrayed as the representatives of 1.5 billion strong community.

utter bollocks.

and what is sad you have people who would never earn near the money in their own country making lovely bunsen in this region, slagging off those very same people in the region or lean towards the generalization of them through this horrific crime.

What is it with you and your fixation of how much money expats here earn?

And this is not a regional issue...attackers were from Nigeria. Muslims, like Christians and other religions are from all over the world.

Are you in some way jealous perhaps? Are you stuck in the states and can't get a job in the Middle East?

attackers attack because they feel there is a wrong-doing.

there is not one area in the world where uk or france sticks up for the peoplle because it is worn.

How do we know they don't like it? We hear very little objection except from David Cameron and Boris Johnson...known experts of different schools of Islamic thought.

I bet many peaceful Muslims don't speak up because they are afraid because they don't follow the book literally like these thugs and are therefore not really good Muslims. Afraid the thugs will kill them too - most Jihadist attacks are against Muslims, they kill more of each other than any outsider could hope to - and all our leaders do is make laws to stop us insulting this religion and arm and fund these chaps in foreign lands.

Madness is the word that comes to mind.

I agree...it's essentially cultural and national suicide. Muslims here I speak to ask me why we allow them to come because here they would be jailed and deported.

They didn't say it was all immigrants, only the groups portrayed in the video.

Luton is my home town - it is a hotbed for groups like this, the Muslim population there has increased by 300% in the last 30 years and it's not educated Sufi pacifists and amicable Anglophile Ahmadiyyas (who are banned from entering Mecca) for the most part who go there. The town has plenty of ethnic groups who have integrated and mixed with the locals - and also a large Islamic ghetto (for want of a better word) the police don't go to except in force.

I suppose it doesn't matter when you come from more middle class areas where immigrants work hard and speak with RP accents. It's not the daughters of the white middle class who are being groomed by rape gangs because they are white and kaffir so this will not mean anything, and the response by the ill informed lower classes can be dismissed as thuggish xenophobia rather than ill informed anger and frustration by the common man (which can and is being used by the facists because the classes above simply despise them and do not listen to their concerns).

Once the British working class towns are taken over Middle England will be next, but that's a few generations away so why should we worry...we have money and can simply move anyway?
