I have just read my post three times... can you do me a favour and show me exactly where I laughed, chuckled, chortled or even smirked at someone getting stoned?

Cheers sweet cheeks.

Taking into consideration that out of the 4.8% there are young children, who would not be sent to jail anyway,

Why would the number of criminals be so high.

According to government figuers.

The tricky thing about statistics is that you need some context if you are to make any sense of them at all.

One thing to note would be that the Muslim population of the UK is vastly over represented in poorest, most deprived segments of the population.

http://www.mcb.org.uk/library/statistics.php#4


That raises crime anywhere and everywhere. In the US, for example, it is popular among the thoughtless and ignorant to say that black people are more prone to crime - and the very same over representation among the poor is true here.

To suggest that one is more prone to crime because of one's religion is as nonsensical as saying that one is more prone to crime because of one's skin colour.

Too simple to point out that if 13% of prisoners are Muslim then that means 87% are NOT MUSLIM!!! Shocking statistics really....

You know the post, and you received a kiss from one of the posters in question.

But funnily enough that post has disappeared along with mine.

But most of us who were around know which post I mean.
