    You mean to say that in Great Britain genetics studies are not lumped in with biology studies in your high schools and colleges?

    not hardly...............I have no mercy to those who desire to suffer unto others, like liberals and mooslems, catholholics or any other that would step all over their fellow man.

    If you have nothing to contribute but infantile comments then perhaps this forum isn't the place for you.

    If by "suppress", you mean treating religions inequally, yes.

    Laws can't discriminate against religion, for example.

    prayer blanket.... that would be a no, yet
    at the rate they are taking over your country, you'll have Islam as the rule of law there, unless you are willing to fight in the streets, because they are willing to do so.
    Infantile? you are the one facing a Muslim crisis in your own country and here you are trying to convince us that all they want is your way of life to go away and replace it with theirs and all you can do is greet them.
    I so agree with that assemsment

    Legally, it hasn't gone anywhere.

    Socially... well, the majority has always had prejudice against minorities. Although, it's considerably worse in a lot of the developing world. A lot of Islamic societies treat minorities considerably worse than here.

    Do you live in Britain? No. You get all your 'information' from hysterical tabloid rags and Fox. There is no crisis. I live here, you don't.
    Now go away-sounds like you're having Smurf withdrawal symptoms...

    Yes, killing minorities overseas must go a long way towards releasing domestic pressures.

    That has more to do with the military industrial complex.

    While America has a social atmosphere that allows for rampant interventionism, I don't think it has any significant connection to how we view minorities here. In all honesty, most Americans are oblivious to the finer details of our foreign policy.

    It's a knowingly flippant comment (though with a vein of, albeit more complicated, truth).

    Anyway, religious and secular aren't mutually exclusive. Religion is about what you do, secularism is about what everyone else can do.

    I can agree with that. Sometimes, it's a tenuous line, but with the right legal framework, the rights of religious and nonreligious minorities can be preserved.

    A good point, which nonetheless does not preclude anyone from making informed comment upon any society - the key being 'informed'.

    The Muslim percentage of the UK population, according to this 2013 study and despite what any daily rag may claim, has not changed substantially since 2009, and stands at 2.7%.
    http://www.indexmundi.com/united_kingdom/demographics_profile.html

    There is abundant evidence that, at no point does the Sharia, or Beth Din, supersede Common or Statute Law in Great Britain. It is impossible for either to do so without repeal of the various Acts currently governing the application of the laws.

    It is possible that under Arbitration Law, Jewish and Islamic bodies may be accepted as brokers in family matters (if they are registered as arbitrators,) but acceptance of such arbitration is purely voluntary, and no findings may run contrary to British laws.

    And, LOL, as someone who attended high school not two years ago, I can assure the forum that, despite being classified as Church of England, I was never 'isolated' by my UK school's Muslim students (which consisted of perhaps 20 boys - out of 600).:smile:

    9 of 12 governors are Muslims in a school in Birmingham and the governing body is predominantly Muslim, reflecting the school's student body. Students in a particular school district could be exclusively Muslim in the UK and non-Muslim students such as Hindus and Sikhs may face religious discrimination. One of the schools under investigation allegedly banned sex education and a Sikh head teacher was forced out by the school's governing body after opposing "extremist policies" promoted by Muslim governors.

    Oh teh aplomb, teh snobbery... I remember that certain British couple seating in front seat of me on a delayed departure from Perth, making fun of Delta's elder stewardess and everything American in general... flying on American made jet navigated thru American made satellites, watching American made movie, one of them holding Tom Clancy's book on his lap, undoubtedly going to America to educate Americans :roflol:

    Does your own experience negate OP in any way, or make OP less troubling? Do you recall the case in one of Milton (I think) public schools not long ago, when lunch-lady was summarily fired for (ALMOST)!!! serving pork sandwich to a muslim pupil, accidentally? I can bring you many examples of UK muslims being intolerant and dominant over Britons, I can assure you :)

    LOL, I am sure you can, and I can bring you many examples of Christians (so called) being intolerant of Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus, Shintoists, Wiccans, Socialists, homosexuals, women who have abortions, and other Christians of every ethnicity. Intolerance is not the preserve of any demographic, and whilst I grant you that the religion of Islam is currently probably the most proscriptive of the faiths, we 'Christians' have had our day for many a century, and still put up a good show when of the fundamentalist variety. But strange to tell, we Brits who are being allegedly over-run and enslaved by the Moslem hordes, appear considerably less concerned about the matter than you Americans. Whilst one appreciates your kind concern, one can't help but wonder why that is so. :smile:

    Yes, but that 2.7% represents (to panic-stricken and hysteria-driven Americans) an unstoppable tsunami of jihadist fundamentalism, flooding Britain. It's true, I saw it in the Daily Mail and on Fox...:oldman:
