That's all very well having having these nice little agendas, but in the cold light of day that just plays right into the hands of the terrorists that can play the racism card.

[Mark J]

No it doesn't.

So you don't mind the islamification of Britain that's taking place?

I really don't think there is 'islamification.' going on. No one I know is about to give up their cultural identity. There's a sizable difference between racism and dialogue. That's the point I was failing to make.

I love a good debate but this one is going round and round. I'm getting dizzy now....Everyone seems to be getting distracted by the immigration/racism argument.

The real issue is the fact that British Muslims are getting radicalised in BRITAIN! How's about we, move the discussion on and use our collective wisdom to start suggesting some positive solutions to a problem that is already here in the UK?

So what is the cut off point for you? When are you going to say enough is enough of this?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't buy that there's much 'islamification' going on but perhaps people viewpoint is altered by their location? According to your profile you're near Newcastle? I've just had a look and the Muslim population there is 6%. In Manchester it's 16%. In Luton, my nearest big town it's 25% and believe me there are areas you'd feel very uncomfortable spending time in...
