When you think about it so many pubs and churches are closed or not in use now...makes you wonder how long before they openly declare Britain is an Islamic state

It's well on its way! - Urdu is the most common language spoken in Bradford! Perhaps we should create a Cell of Sleepers called 'Anglican Fundamentalists,' or launch the 'Provisional Wing of the Salvation Army?'

Urdu being spoken in Bradford as the common language is simply a sign of the failure for immigrants to integrate because of successive government’s failure to demand all people in the country must learn and speak the same language.
Seeing Halal food for sale everywhere (unlabled to those who don't want it), women in burkhas, separate courts for Sharia law, and people going to court for insulting the Islamic religion etc...that's a sign of encroaching Islam into Britain.

I actually think more and more that British people (and I mean native Britons and those immigrants who fully integrate and do not want separate laws or a religiously led government) will end up like the Copts in Eygpt within a hundred years or so - because I don't see any pride whatsoever in us. I'm sure if a referrendum was held specifically on this issue the result would be shocking...like it was when the Swiss held one on Minarets. Democracy isn’t acceptable anymore because it spoils the plans of the spineless elite.

"Provisional Wing of the Salvation Army": Known for it's musical attacks using marching bands to drown out the call for prayer hehe.

Oooooh! - And all of those Tambourines!

I never had much time for TBW (Margaret Hilda Thatcher) but I did like one of her quotations (probably anecdotal), when commenting on a Planning Appeal.

"We will have the call to prayer at UK Mosques when Church Bells Ring in Riyadh!"

You'll be thrilled with what's happening in tower hamlets in London the norm, if you're unaware I'll leave you the joy of googling it in news

On the basis of the replies I'd have to say 'rampant racism'

I think that you might just be able to find one still open in your 'hood, wherever that may be.

Been there, done that one, and have the medals and tee shirt! I got asked 'How long I had been in prison?' - When I asked for an ashtray! I paid the deposit for the glass, went outside, had a smoke and a G&T (extrortionate price), and then left!

No a Teddy Bear I have just made! I bought the toy for Dhs 10/- gave it a badge with 'Mohammad' on it, and plan to sell it for Dhs 20/- Have I made a prophet?
