The future for Islam in the UK is war.

I am not rascist and I am not stupid, I am educated and British (Colour Irrelevant). I speak as I find. Islam expects my tolerence yet offers non in return... the fact that I don't want someone elses cultural religous beliefs in my face does not make me evil, yet through the successive governments and political correctness I feel unable to vent my dislike of Islam and anything else for that matter. I am sick of people in our streets turning my country into some sort of Islamic paradise in the UK, why should I feel out of place in any street in the UK, why should I HAVE to change my way of life to tolerate the intolerant. none of my other 'Cultural' asian friends expect or demand this. They have their religion and faith which they practice peacefully and yes they have problems but they do not seek to blame the world or live by any archaic priciples in the UK or ram it down my throat.

Like it or not, your religion IS preaching hate in the UK, It DOES abuse women, its laws ARE corrupt and out of time and it DOES promote terrorism, you shake our hand yet seek to cut it off.... and you expect this to be tolerated? Time and time again your faith is caught out by documentary and by the loud mouths who in fits and rants betray your real intentions. I used to believe there were genuine Muslims who were tolerant and kind, but I fear this was based upon my exposure to middle class Muslims... where did they go??? The ones I know dare not speak out, why is that?

You talk of Jihad...... I will tell you something, as a middle class non religous everyday member of the UK public.... you should stop your preaching and start to listen, you want Jihad well remember sometimes you get what you wish for!! I get the impression that if you want a conflict to prove your religion is great then you can have it..... I assure you most are thinking what I am saying and the government knows it. I sit in pubs and restaurents, trains and buses and people all say the same. So go on, lets have some more bombs and lets see what happens... I remember the anti Irish backlash after the pub bombings..... That was bad enough, and you should remember that we Brits like the Irish and didn't in the main feel threatened by them, now couple that backlash to how most of the UK regards Islam and you might just get Jihad... but not the one you want.

I have worked in some predominantly Muslim areas in the UK and seen the drinking, whoring and drug dealing by your faithful.... no different to any other culture (including my own) so ditch the pretence that you are the religous saviours of the world... you never know we might just like you then and see you like we see our Sikh, Buddhist, etc friends who are first and foremost Human, Secondly British, and do not seek to impose their will on others. You can learn from these fine people!

I find it disturbing that you believe you can turn the UK into a Sharia governed Islamic country, so many of your faith have openly declared this. Are you on drugs... are you so blinded by your faith that you believe by penetrating political circles with Islamic retoric you would be allowed to power by every culture in the UK so that you could takeaway the freedoms so hard won by them. Think again.... please.....

That is why there is no future for Islam in the UK....
