Just how much further backwards are we expected to bend to accomodate muslims?
We have not been expected to do this for any other group of immigrants. We did not have council communications in Polish and Ukranian following the end of WW2. There was no suggestion that we should alter or curtail our religious traditions to accomodate Jews or Hindu's or Chinese minorities. What is so special about muslims that merits the complete overhaul of our cultural traditions. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it the same ethnic groups of muslims who whined, protested and complained loud and long when they had a British administration in their own country? Wasn't it they who could hardly wait to see the back of us in 1947? It seems strange that fifty years on they should be so eager to come and set up home in this nest of racist, imperialist, pigs.

It strikes me that if one goes chooses to live in a country which has different religious traditions, then one can hardly be surprised, or indeed offended, to find those traditions honoured. Surely it is for the immigrant to alter his traditions to fit in with those of the host country, not vice-versa.

But then I am just hopelessly old fashioned, so what do I know.
