An excellent post.

The media love the idea of having a new scapegoat, and for the past couple of years it's been Islam, even though the majority of British Muslims are peace loving, hardworking citizens.

We certainly didn't brand all Catholics as potential terrorists, when for decades we were attacked by a tiny minority of people.

Until a decade ago the most famous Muslim in the world wasn't Bin Laden, it was someone who always tops the polls of the most popular sportsman of all time, Mohammed Ali.

Hi

This discussion appears to have come to an end. My post was meant to stimulate more discussions and thoughts from our virtual community on this site.

Please do not stop the discussions/posts.

We need to keep topics like this live in order to understand each other, then maybe we can become truely a Multi-cultural hyndburn at least.

My argument lies with the surrendering of our indigenous way of life in the face of overwhelming immigration, to the apparent detriment of this nation's wellbeing. I am happy to continue contributing to the exchanges in a civilised manner, but take umbrage when things are put on a personal basis by those who I thought would have known better.

No offence is intended on my part, nor will be it ever be.

There was very little indigenous life here of ay kind, when mankind first evolved in east Africa, and some eventually migrated here, from differing directions.

The sooner the better as the crap churned out by the black rap groups is absolutely bloody awful and a gross misrepresentation of what is perceived by normal people as 'music'.

This taking the road of infinite regression adds nothing to the argument of what is happening in Britain now ....

The point that mankind is migratory being is a fair one. It's happened since we started to walk, and will carry on until we can't.

If people are prejudiced against people because of the colour of their skin, that's their problem. No need to keep harping back to days that were as simple as a pre-war Gracie Field's film, when the only darkie was the cheeky sweep, and nigger was the colour of the oil cloth on the kitchen table.
