I was thinking something similar, but the word began with an "r".

Its happened here too. Especially in the outer burbs of D15(Clonee/Tyrellstown), known locally as the United Nations.

But the reasons here are slightly different than in the UK, over there its a case of aggressive Muslim immigrants who may or may not speak for all Muslims who preach intolerance of secular values.

JC it would be a pleasant change if you actually debated any immigration subject like an adult, rather than a 10 year child.

O please - just "jesus". We're all buddies here.

Well, when you're dealing with folk who think having people with different coloured skins together in the same country is "multiculturalism".....

Sure, at the end of the day aren't we all blacks? By that I mean aren't we all of African decent, not that we're a members of the New Zealand rugby team.

Also, ye do realise that when compared to your average Radical(and not so radical)Muslim, we're an awful bunch of cissies. They have a religious dedication and interest that will eat us for breakfast. We will "meh" ourselves into extinction, sadly. By "we", I mean western Christians.

Does work involve getting all worked up about muslims?

Indeed. if you take a group, any group, and tot them all up, and devide by how much you like, you get a number, which if you squint at half light, is the median, which is close to the average. Your average Christian wants a Dominoes Pizza, your average radical wants Sharia. I'd imagine Sharia will prevail.:)

...which presumes a sufficient number of "radicals" to enforce such a scheme. Whilst I've no doubt there a great number resident under your bed, the streets are not so afflicted.

Nope. Actually I admire their dedication. I have not one thing against them, apart from their desire to assimilate me and mine. If you've missed that bit, you're really missing the point. But you can glory in your enlightened Multiculturalism. well done. I'll stay here, a tad doubtful about the benefits, if it's all the same to you.:)

You are obviously walking the quiet streets. None under my bed, I checked. I'm not paranoid, come back in five years and see if you're still so cock-sure.:) I didn't grow up here btw, we in Ireland are a bit behind the curve, but don't worry, we'll catch up. You can be sure of that.

...theres all kinds of nuts who want to do nutty things. My advice, such as it is, would be to worry when they aqquire a few nuclear powered aircraft carriers and a vast amount of wealth, as well as the ability to defend their own airspace.

You're missing the subtle point. There wont be any war, or any missiles, or any bombs. There will just be birthrates and equality laws and immigration. It's a gentle subjugation, like slowly boiling a frog. By the time we realise, it'll be too late.

Well with such a concise understanding of the scientific method and the procedures of statistical analysis who could possibly argue with your conclusions?

Hmmmm. Well, for one thing, the whole birthrate nonsense is a bit of a myth.

I have no idea what you mean or refer to by "equality laws".

We only share free movement with countries in the EU. There are no muslim majority countries in the EU, and theres nothing to attract people here anyway.

I just treat these kind of things like a word puzzle, look for the deceitfully elegant attempts to slide subtle little bits in the midst of the madness in the hope that it will slide through to the unconscious, like Tyler Durten splicing cocks into cartoons

I always keep my point to myself and see what others have to say. Judge the feel of the water so to speak.
