    It doesn't say that it's the most popular name in the English midlands.

    West midlands. Over here in the East midlands we prefer Blister.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Yeah Mohammed's a very common name in the midlands. It's so common now in fact that they even have an annual convention in Birmingham every year open to anyone with the name. Here's an artists depiction of last years frolics.

    Well, being absolutely serious I reckon that in a 2 or 3 decades Europeans will be a minority in Europe, I'm not saying whether it's good or bad, it's in my opinion unevitable with the current tendencies/political correctness/birth rates, etc. In fairness I am afraid that ethnic/religious diferences as well as Muslims pushing islamisation of Europe further and further will lead to a war, when the Western societies snap. It worries me, seriously though.

    Interestingly enough, none of the parents complained in the beginning.

    What happened was that the school sacked a teacher, who then decided to stir the shit. She heard about the bear thing, and went to the parents, all of whom bar one refused to complain. Then when it went to the local court, some fecker in the Sudanese government decided to use it as a bandwagon, and starting trucking in 'protestors' from outside the area...

    The Islamic population of the UK is about 3.5% of 60 million The Irish have been breeding in Britain for generations and the Irish descended population is put at about 10% so those Muslims will have to be at it morning noon and night and then some.

    I live in Leicester, which has a huge amount of Muslims, and I know a lot more people born Muslim who no longer practice than people born other religions that converted to Islam, so I don't think Muslims are gonna take over Europe just yet.

    I realise that my perspective isn't very popular, well - cannot be popular because these days the difference between what people think and what they are allowed to say is huge.

    Whoever thinks I'm a *fob, racist or any of these is very much mistaken. I come from a mixed background myself and I only ask questions about things I am concerned about or try to point what I do not like - which I hope I am still allowed to do, due to freedom of speech/opinion that we still apparently have in the EU. I did not like to see life threats regarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy

    I do not like riots, burning cars on the streets of European towns no matter who does it (however the Muslims happen to be most proactive in this field), threats against anyone's life and it is understandable that I as well as many other people may (and I am sure do) feel worried about the new "culture" coming to Europe and practices associated with it.

    I do work with people from countries like France or Germany, who openly admit that there is a problem with Muslims' antisocial behaviour, fanatism, lack of integration, creating ghettos, etc. How would it be if there were white catholics demolishing centre of Dublin? Would they be getting so strong defense and support on boards? Doubtful, because it's the easiest thing to sh*t on our own doorstep.

    Being serious, it's a very difficult subject, because trying to defend one side (which is always a right thing to do) people discriminate the other.

    Looking forward to be understood I am giving up on this topic on boards, there are way more intersting threads ;)

    Had you said 'some Muslims' (you know... simply acknowledging the rather inconvenient fact that only a tiny, tiny minority of Muslims actually burn cars and partake in riots), your ramblings could merely be dismissed as those of a wildly paranoiac, scaremongering blow-hard, rather than an Islamophobic bigot.

    Hey,

    As stated before, I couldn't find it here http://phobialist.com/

    To ensure that you know and understand what are you're talking about:

    A phobia (from the Greek: φόβος,phóbos, meaning "fear" or "morbid fear") is an irrational, intense and persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared stimulus. When the fear is beyond one's control, and if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobia


    Hope I've helped ;)


    And here, throwing them couple before I go:
    http://www.news.faithfreedom.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1852

    This is what Imam Khomeini, the top shia authority says:
    “A Muslim man can have sexual pleasure with a little girl as young as a baby. But he should not penetrate her vaginally, however he can sodomize her”. (Tehriro vasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990)

    Your mindless pedantry hasn't helped at all, unfortunately. Like many people who have an irrational fear of Muslims; a fear which manifests itself in the shape of highly prejudiced opinions, you deny the validity of the term 'Islamophobia'. Fine. I think engaging in any etymological discussion on the matter would probably be more tiresome than fruitful. And at some point, I would inevitably find myself on the wrong side of Godwin's Law.

    Anyhow... can you think of a more suitable term than 'Islamophobic' to describe the opinions of someone who believes that The Muslims (as opposed to a minority of Muslims) are most proactive in the field of car-torching and rioting?

    The nice thing about countries like the UK is that there is a lot of readily available information online. And by information, I don't mean videos made by people in their basement wearing a tin hat with a shotgun across their lap, or "issue groups" which are really fronts for the tin hat people.

    Birmingham's Population

    • According to the 2001 Census nearly 60% of the City's residents identify themselves as Christian, 14% Muslim, 3% Sikh and 2% Hindu.

    The White population is not expected to fall below one half of the total until 2024, and it will remain more than twice the size of any other group. Its reduction is due to movement out from Birmingham to other areas of the West Midlands and Britain. Births and deaths are quite closely balanced for the White population.

    • Birmingham’s population was diverse in 2001, with Pakistani, Indian and Caribbean populations numbering over 40 thousand. African and Bangladeshi populations will also number more than 40 thousand by 2026. A further 150 thousand or more than 10% of the population will come from a diverse range of other groups.

    • The proportion of children aged under 16 who are of black and ethnic minorities is currently about 50% and will rise to about 64% by 2026, confirming the growing diversity of Birmingham’s population.

    • As Birmingham’s minority groups mature demographically, there will be noticeable growth in the workforce. The working age population will grow as whole by 62 thousand in the next 20 years, most of this growth at older ages. Black and minority ethnic residents will make up 50% of the population aged 40-64 by 2026, where they are 25% in 2006.
    The White population decrease is about six thousand each year, or a net reduction of about 10% in a decade. This percentage of White out-migration is more than from other city districts.

    • The African and Chinese populations are the fastest growing populations in Birmingham, but remain relatively small. The population with Pakistani origins will grow to about 232 thousand by 2026, larger than other ethnic minority groups but less than half the size of the White population.

    If people are going to argue, at least argue with some basic data.
