I am not splitting hairs, if as Creaky has said that the largest growing group our those non religious, then how can there be greater religious driven decisions similar to those discussed on this thread.
How do soberly dressed middle class Muslim men try to effect the governance of some of our...
I think you're confusing numbers with influence, that is the key point here, although I suspect both our increasing.
Again I think you underestimate many peoples grievances and you seem to infer some underlying racism that for most doesnt exist, there is however a tendency to offer Islam a...
Well I think it does.
If any one religion becomes influential and numbers tend to dictate this then of course it is relevant, its silly not to acknowledge this.
I wonder if as a %, if the Muslim population has proportionately increased or decreased and how does this then compare with the other faith groups.

Some drivel talked here, it would be strange not have a view on Islam in the West and its consequences, it seems an absolute delusion not to even acknowledge some problems.
You can quip about 'closed minds' and rather tedious unfunny 'prehistoric analogies' but if the World/UK is to change then...
I agree with nearly all of your points except for the last bit.
Many when offering a wholly reasonable views on the lack of western Muslim integration and its effects, then nearly always feels obliged to counter it with a 'rise in the extreme right'.
Accepting this perhaps is happening in...
