And to answer your question - about 10%. I don't really consider myself to be British. I was born in NZ, lived in England for the most part of my life before moving here. There aren't too many things I miss about good old Blighty. I'm making the most of what Colorado has too offer.

And before you accuse me, no I am not racist, I spent around 10 years in London with a similar community who seemed to have no problem mixing with the locals and still retaining their culture.
It is not the whole of the muslim population in West Yorkshire, not by any means - it is mostly gangs of young males. The older population cause very few problems.
Anyway have a think about why people might like the area to be sans these troublemakers before you go making sweeping statements.
My nephew for one was beaten very badly by one of these innocent groups for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Just so you know, I looked at your website the other day and think that you have done a really nice job
. You have also had a lot of posters give you legitimate answers to your original questions. Whenever you enter an open forum like this you will always get posts that you either don't agree with or just plain don't like but that is the nature of an 'open' forum, (plus the majority of the 'off topic' posts are generally pretty funny with only a few 'exceptions' to the rule)
