EUROPEANS THINK ISLAM IS DANGEROUS

AN “overwhelming majority” of Europeans believe immigration from Islamic countries is a threat to their traditional way of life, a survey revealed last night.

The poll, carried out across 21 countries, found “widespread anti-immigration sentiment”, but warned Europe’s Muslim population will treble in the next 17 years.

It reported “a severe deficit of trust is found between the Western and Muslim communities”, with most people wanting less interaction with the Muslim world.

Last night an MP warned it showed that political leaders in Britain who preach the benefits of unlimited immigration were dangerously out of touch with the public.

The study, whose authors include the former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, was commissioned for leaders at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

It reports “a growing fear among Europeans of a perceived Islamic threat to their cultural identities, driven in part by immigration from predominantly Muslim nations”.

And it concludes: “An overwhelming majority of the surveyed populations in Europe believe greater interaction between Islam and the West is a threat.” Backbench Tory MP David Davies told the Sunday Express: “I am not surprised by these findings. People are fed up with multiculturalism and being told they have to give up their way of life.

“Most people in Britain expect anyone who comes here to be willing to learn our language and fit in with us.”

Mr Davies, who serves on the Commons Home Affairs Committee, added: “People do get annoyed when they see millions spent on translating documents and legal aid being given to people fighting for the right to wear a head-to-toe covering at school.

“A lot of people are very uncomfortable with the changes being caused by immigration and politicians have been too slow to wake up to that.”

The report says people have little enthusiasm for greater understanding with Islam and attempts to improve relations have been “disappointing”.

And with the EU Muslim population expected to reach 15 per cent by 2025 it predicts: “Any deterioration on the international front will be felt most severely in Europe.”

But leading Muslim academic Haleh Afshar, of York University, blamed media “hysteria” for the findings. She said: “There is an absence of trust towards Muslims, but to my mind that is very much driven by an uninformed media.

“To blame immigration is much harder because the current influx of immigrants from eastern Europe are by-and-large not Muslim.

The danger is that when people are fearful of people born and bred in this country it is likely that discrimination may follow.”

I agree a million percent if there was such a figure . How right up to the hilt are those already writing their comments and this morning in the Sunday Express on page 5 we have members of the WRAF being told to wear Headscarves when entering mosques in Peterborogh . How dare they desecrate our uniform of the Queen's ROYAL AIR FORCE.(where is the MARSHALL OF THE RAF
We must stamp hard on this insurgence of Isam in the K We have had enogh and if we dont we shall end up bieing subjagated by this faactical religion.. Every last one of the MUslims should be shipped back to their own country. I never hear anyone and i me anyone with common sense agreesing with this policey of multi culturalism Its is not what soldiers fought for in WW2 and this is what we are fighting for now, What a disgrace to allow those protesters last week in LUton and for the POLICeE to arrest a decent white English person and charge them with an offnce abslutely abhorrent and i shall never accept any Muslim in this country .

Great article and about time too, this once great country has been sold out by the malignant pc crazed bunch of socialists that without manadate rule this country. They are in total spineless and I urge, no demand at least one of them to read the article and the majority of agreeing comments and then to stand up, be recognised and agree with their countrymen and women that enough is enough and make preparation for the removal of every vestige of non conforming immigrants. Equally to end this stupid and incoherent policy of an open door Britain.

An overwhelming yes to this statement. We are British in these Islands, and the onslaught of Muslim beliefs being forced upon us is not acceptable. It is clear to see to any normal thinking person that this threat is going to grow. Yes there are peaceful muslims, but the fanaticism of the extremists begs extreme measures to remove them. Allowing Mosques\\ every where, is an invitation for them to eventually gain footholds they should not have.
Has\\ anyone else seen the fanatical marches in London ? I rest my case. But our Government should act, and act now in the interests Britishness, and adopt Australian standards full stop. Kerry0

The problem is that it is getting too late to do anyhting to stop the colonizattionof europe by Islam. The British goverenment has doen all it can to turn the country into a polyglot dumping ground for all races, and amongst these many thousands are those who wish us nothing but hram. But when you opn the folldgates as we have done, how do you close them again?

An open plea to the politicians: When can we have our country back?

ISLAM IS VERY DANGEROUS

The Islamic invasion of Europe has begun, the advance guard are here in Britain and taking over large areas of our inner cities. Seemingly immune from British law the Islamic hordes have even persuaded the simple Archbishop of Canterbury that Islamic Shari law should be practised in Britain.(Presumably he also condones the barbaric atrocities and repression of woman carried on in the name of Islam). Where the Islam invasion lands the mosques spring up, christianity retreats and evil Imams are allowed to preach hate and terror for the country whose social security benefits they enjoy.

The tolerance of Islam in this country borders on the insane. Iran would not show any tolerance at all for a christian in Tehran. Islam does not show any tolerance for infidels. Barbaric corporal punishments, stoning to death, beheadings and amputations are all carried out in the name of Islam. Fatwahs and death sentences are issued against all who dare to challenge their way of life. Islamic fanatiscism breeds terrorism and the Islamic society sheilds the terrorist from international justice. Allahu Akbar!!

Islamists do not integrate into our society , they do not accept our standards but rather seek to force their culture on us. We should not tolerate schoolgirls in the yashmak or Imams preaching violence or any suggestion that shari laws can prevail in this country. Islamic aims for world dominance and Islamic terrorism are a clear and present danger and the warning signs are everywhere. The inbred hatred has been intensified by the illegal war in Iraq. We are all in danger from the growing invasion . The army of Islam is swelling too fast in this small country of ours and it is time to close the door to people that do not like us
