    Exactly.

    Having lived in Brixton I can confirm that the people living there are happy to mix with all. Entertainment, food, culture from all the tibes are enjoyed with gusto. British, Europeans, Asians, Africans and those from North and South America.

    Like the Gazans then- although at least the ghetto dwellers could get out and ply their trades. Actually, the original Jewish ghetto in Venice was quite an affluent place.
    (S'pose you'll wanna link for that- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto)

    The ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestine is only feeding anti-semitism, worldwide. Small wonder many younger generation Jews are increasingly pissed off with Israel.

    Biggest melting pot I've personally come across in the UK is Southall in London based myself there for about 2 months earlier this year due to work. Stayed in a pub which was Sikh owned and me and my mate were the only 2 white guys in there, had a great time and Sikhs are total pissheads who made us feel most welcome. But back on point in Southall the Sikhs hate the Muslims, the Muslims hate the Sikhs and they both hate the Somalians, whole place is a tinder pot just waiting to go off. Streets and areas are all basically one denomination they don't mix and hate each other with a passion I hadn't witnessed before in this country, must be my sheltered life!!!!!

    Nonsense- I like Brick Lane,..... A curry, followed by a few beers in a poky little pub with some of the geezers (who had distinctly mixed views about the Bangladeshi influx).
    Ill bet they did too!

    ... in Sparkbrook,.. the local Islamic community banded together to peaceably harass the junkie hookers out of their suburb- he says now it is much safer and more pleasant to walk the streets
    Your anecdotal information is hogwash, as the Birmingham Muslim drug dealers were cleaned out by the police, not by a bunch of Muslims banded together to "peaceably harass" anyone. There;s no such thing as "peaceable" harassment, idiot.

    And if 'Muslims in particular like the idea' how do you explain the predominantly afro-caribbean 'ghettos' that predate them?]/quote]

    As you say, other ethnic groups tend to cluster also, it's not an uniquely Muslim tendency, although they will ghetoise (or cluster) more rapidly, opening Muslim schools, mosques and halal food shops within walking distance of often overcrowded Muslim neighbourhoods where they live often 10-15 per house designed for 6.

    I'd love you to provide factual verification that in some Council areas over half of the Muslim women cannot speak English- go ahead, be my guest.
    There was nothing posted to that effect.
    What was said was that nearly half of Muslim women can not speak English.

    So in short, the only reason you started this thread is for yet another racist diatribe against your favorite pet hate- Muslims.
    Nope, the article is a matter of government interest, read the article.

    Most of those who express reservations against the pace of immigration, especially from certain countries, or the fact that Britain had limited control over it's own borders under EU rules- are not proceeding from a position of outright bigotry and racism.
    True, as the OP states.


    In the 2011 census Office for National Statistics, the proportion of Muslims in London had risen to 12.4% of the population (40% of England's Muslims). In the boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets, the percentages of Muslims were over 30%.
    Yup, back in 2011, now, in 2016 their numbers have risen to 45.6%.

    "The highest percentage of Muslims is East London’s Tower Hamlets, with 45.6 per cent while neighbouring Newham has 40.8 per cent.

    Number of UK Muslims exceeds three million for first time - Telegraph

    You have absolutely no idea what you are fecking talking about. If you look at a map of Sparkhill, Birmingham (GIYF), you will soon find Showell Green lane- which leads into Stratford road at one end, and Moseley at the other. The stratford Road end became the hangout of junkie hookers- this at a time when the Islamic community was both moving in and already established- and there were (and still are) several Indian restaurants down there (good n cheap too, if you're down that way). So they were sharing their pavements with junkie's, prossie's, crime, and harassment reports. Not good for business, not good for the local community. If you ran a restaurant, and had a family- would you want that sort of lowlife on your doorstep? So they ran them out, peaceably, via harassment and shaming- as opposed to violence. It was not only the local Muslim community that was grateful. My friends house is on a lane off Showell Green lane incidentally. It had nothing to do with the Police, whatsoever- in fact the lib'rul lefties were up in arms that this 'vigilante' action could be put in place and effected by a local community. And for all I know, some of the lowlife junkie hookers may well have been Muslim- so what?

    And that is such utter and total bullshit, I even fail to laugh. Well, maybe a little bit- laughing at You.

    Threatened them.

    It was not only the local Muslim community that was grateful.
    The minority ethnics would have been pleased too.

    It had nothing to do with the Police, whatsoever-
    Really? Police have been hugely involved in that area, but not in helping Muslims clean up crime?

    Nothing to do with Project Champion CCTV cameras being taken down was it? When the local community got all the cameras taken down because Muslims objected to being spied on?

    Then the other half wanted the cameras back because they felt safer with them there?...2011

    Nice district.

    And for all I know, some of the lowlife junkie hookers may well have been Muslim- so what?
    They still are.

    Whatever the Muslims did then about drugs, hookers etc, didn't make much impact on the local Muslim hoods nor the drugies, ARCH is there looking after them when they flake out.

    Yes, it was a guess, I was wrong.
    It was 22% in 2015 and increasing when Campbell announced plans to do something about it earlier this year.
