The latest terror plot in Britain proves that multiculturalism doesn't work

I can't believe that no one on this board is talking about the terror plot that the British authorities just broke up. We are talking about an attack in the final stages that could have killed hundreds and possibly thousands of innocent British and American citizens. A second 9/11. Yet there is only one thread and just 12 posts on this message board about this news. Have we become so accustomed to Islamic terrorism that plots like this barely register on our news radar?

Well you guys might not want to discuss it but I do. In my opinion, this latest news is the final straw. Seriously, no more Muslim immigration into the West. NONE! We tried it out and it obviously does not work. We threw open our doors to these barbarians and gave them a chance to live in a proposporous, free, and tolerant society but obviously they are incapable of doing so. All the liberals and multiculturalists have been proven WRONG. Multiculturalism does NOT work. These people will not be content until they subjugate us, and if they can't subjugate us they will simply try to kill us. I say no more. We have to stop any further immigration from the Muslim world. No sane, clear thinking people would import evil into their countries.....so why should we?

Do you even think before you post bullshit like this? Blaming a whole culture on what a handful of individuals tried to accomplish is ignorant and stupid. Eat shit.

Real American:
Oh and I would like to give a warm thank you to those tens of thousands of British Muslims who flooded the streets to march against these latest terror plots. It is so refreshing that you came out in such massive numbers to protest Islamic terror and show your allegiance to your country and fellow citizens.

Oh wait, that didn't happen did it? I guess they were all at one of those anti-American rallies they love so much.

Real American:
Damn C Walker is dropping some knowledge today.......

Is this what you want in your country?

Poll reveals 40% of Muslims want sharia law in UK
By Patrick Hennessy and Melissa Kite



Four out of 10 British Muslims want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.

The ICM opinion poll also indicates that a fifth have sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7, killing 52 people, although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity.

   
50pc said interracial relations were worsening
Overall, the findings depict a Muslim community becoming more radical and feeling more alienated from mainstream society, even though 91 per cent still say they feel loyal to Britain.

The results of the poll, conducted for the Sunday Telegraph, came as thousands of Muslims staged a fresh protest in London yesterday against the publication of cartoons of Mohammed. In Libya, at least 10 people died in protests linked to the caricatures.

And in Pakistan, a cleric was reported to have put a $1 million (£575,000) bounty on the head of the Danish cartoonist who drew the original pictures.

Last night, Sadiq Khan, the Labour MP involved with the official task force set up after the July attacks, said the findings were "alarming". He added: "Vast numbers of Muslims feel disengaged and alienated from mainstream British society." Sir Iqbal Sacranie, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "This poll confirms the widespread opposition among British Muslims to the so-called war on terror."

The most startling finding is the high level of support for applying sharia law in "predominantly Muslim" areas of Britain.

   
Sadiq Khan: 'Alarming'
Islamic law is used in large parts of the Middle East, including Iran and Saudi Arabia, and is enforced by religious police. Special courts can hand down harsh punishments which can include stoning and amputation.

Forty per cent of the British Muslims surveyed said they backed introducing sharia in parts of Britain, while 41 per cent opposed it. Twenty per cent felt sympathy with the July 7 bombers' motives, and 75 per cent did not. One per cent felt the attacks were "right".

Nearly two thirds thought the video images shown last week of British troops beating Iraqi youths were symptomatic of a wider problem in Iraq. Half did not think the soldiers would be "appropriately punished".

Half of the 500 people surveyed said relations between white Britons and Muslims were getting worse. Only just over half thought the conviction of the cleric Abu Hamza for incitement to murder and race hatred was fair.

Mr Khan, the MP for Tooting, said: "We must redouble our efforts to bring Muslims on board with the mainstream community. For all the efforts made since last July, things do not have appear to have got better."

He agreed with Sir Iqbal that the poll showed Muslims still had a "big gripe" about foreign policy, particularly over the war on terror and Iraq.

David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said: "It shows we have a long way to go to win the battle of ideas within some parts of the Muslim community and why it is absolutely vital that we reinforce the voice of moderate Islam wherever possible."

A spokesman for Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, said: "It is critically important to ensure that Muslims, and all faiths, feel part of modern British society. Today's survey indicates we still have a long way to go... [but] we are committed to working with all faiths to ensure we achieve that end."
