Racism in uk

Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Senegal, to name a few.

What about?

Yet the people who see a woman in a hijab and call her a P and attack her will be arrested for a racist attack.

Lock the racists away and throw away the key.

Christians allowed to pray in large groups in public in a high profile areas in Muslim countries? Where?

Religious intolerance is of course horrible but we do better than most if not all.

Unfortunaly the issue around racism has got worse over the past ten years. We have prominent racist party leaders and world leaders.

Racism even on MN is not dealt with appropriately and many racist post will be allowed to stand.

People will often point out it was worse in the 60/70/80's or that is it worse in xyz country. So what no racism is acceptable or should ever be considered acceptable or excused as a society we should have much higher standards.

Some majority Muslim countries do have quite a few Christians and they are allowed to worship.
In any case, religious intolerance is horrible.

Ugh, Yes it’s not, so why not have sympathy for the people who face the most racism in the UK?

I’ve suffered racism and I think it’s important to acknowledge the racism that our country is studiously ignoring. I’m not Jewish and right now I feel extremely sorry for the Jewish community.

I was trying to find information on attacks against holy places, the BMT noted 25 attacks on mosques in 2024, 164 on synagogues according to the CST. There are of course far fewer synagogues than there are mosques in the UK.

That doesn’t make attacks on mosques or muslims any less bad, it’s just that the evidence consistently suggests that Jews face way more harassment and harm than other groups. But so many don’t think it’s a problem. I think attacking any place of worship is a problem and if one particular community seems to be disproportionately affected by racism why not talk about it. The OP was about racism.

Someone being attacked for being Muslim still doesn’t make Muslim a race.

@Gwenhwyfar My dsis is a nun.
She never wears her veil when travelling on public transport because too many pervy men make creepy remarks to her.

I don't know the details, but it's obviously quite difficult now since Brexit.

My experience was also of friends being made to wear a hijab by parents for reasons of modesty. Grim. What’s immodest about hair?

I thought to live there permanently you had to have an income of around £30k per year and private medical insurance?

So you cant just rock up and try and find a job or be looked after by the state.

I'm not arguing that they shouldn't learn the language. I'm just answering your point about working.
Of course they should learn the language, but we have to accept that it can take a few years.

Perhaps someone should have had a word with Andrea Jenkyns then.

I personally have no issue with any woman wearing a head scarf.
I have major issues with full face coverings, whether that's a balaclava, bike Visor or niqab.

Absolutely no way have you seen women in Burkas swimming. Please do not troll a serious thread with this garbage,

A nun's wimple doesn't cover her face. More comparable to a hijab than nikab.

I agree with you about communication. It was harder in Covid times when people had masks on. However, it's not a good enough reason to make something illegal imo.

There is a double standard at play here.

If someone brings up Islamophobia in the first few posts on an OP talking about about anti-Semitism, they would instantly be accused of derailing.

What did she say?

It may be a choice for some women, but not all. I personally knew many young women who were in my daughters year at school and were friends of hers, they were told they had to wear a scarf, they had no choice, these girls were 12/13 years old at the time.

Really? Well, there’s only one of us trying to make sure one group of people aren’t allowed to mention racism against them. And it isn’t me.
I notice your subsequent antisemitic comment has been deleted though, that’s something at least.

OP, sorry about your husband. Yes racism is open and thriving, as you can see by some on here.

She specifically said she doesn't want Muslim women to be allowed to wear head scarves.

Why on earth is being unhappy about successive Governments policies a licence to be racist ?

Your post is dripping with racism, you obviously don't understand the issues around immigration, legal or otherwise , otherwise you wouldn't think it's easy to fix.

Your post is similar in tone to the thick and racist Reform voters who are going to vote for that clueless, grifting party because they committed to less brown people being in the country ( without having a clue how to legally do that even if it wasn't morally reprehensible)

Headscarfs and full face coverings are totally different and you know it.

Agreed.
