I notice kash that you seem to have carefully avoiding acknowledging that you misquoted me although you have, just as carefully, brought back into focus a previous statement of mine where I opined that “Islam is taking over the UK”.

Fifty, sixty years ago there were few Muslims in the UK. Today there are an estimated 1.5 million. Most of those congregate in enclaves although there are many who live amongst the rest of us – amicably I might add. However fifty years ago the Muslim immigrants lived amongst the rest of us but slowly but surely those areas became enclaves and so the same is likely to happen in the areas where Muslim and non-Muslim live side by side.

It is the sworn DUTY of all followers of Islam to spread the word of Islam until there is no one else to convert. There is no misunderstanding there. I’ll grant you that many Muslims only want to live in peace with their neighbours but Islam has such a strong hold over its followers that few will not answer the call if required to.

Let me put it another way. A house owner, out of the goodness of his heart, offers a room to a virtual stranger who is homeless. As time goes by a friend of the ‘lodger’ visits him for an afternoon. The house owner doesn’t mind because they stay in the lodger’s room. Again time goes by and now the friend is staying overnight from time to time. The house owner, although not too happy with the situation, feels it might be churlish to deny the lodger the overnight company of a friend. After all what real harm is it doing?

Over time the friend moves in on a more or less permanent basis as the lodger explains when challenged that the friend’s own lodging have been denied her. But now, as a couple, they want more access to the kitchen to cook meals that are traditional to them. So now the house owner is sharing a kitchen with the “guest”. It was bad enough sharing the bathroom and all the problems that brought but all the residents got round that problem more or less amicably.

Eventually the “guest” couple have saved enough money to be able to offer to buy the house and do so. The house owner has two options, accept the offer and sell or throw the “guests” out to regain control of his own house. The house owner has bent over backwards to help someone and is now faced with a dilemma. But the offer is too good to refuse so the deal goes through and the original house owner moves away.
