Racism in uk

@Gloriia

And here is the inauguration of a massive new Cathedral in Egypt.

Muslim places of worship in the UK are nowhere near this large.

Of course there are public events, Gloria. I can’t believe you typed that with a straight face. Here are some examples from Lebanon:

Key Recent Events:

• Pope Leo XIV's Historic Visit (November–December 2025): A major Apostolic Journey, featuring a Mass with approximately 150,000 people at the Beirut waterfront. The visit included a visit to the site of the 2020 port explosion and a meeting with Christian and Muslim leaders to promote peace.
• Corpus Christi Procession in Zahle (May 2024): Thousands of worshippers gathered in Zahle (the "City of 52 Churches") for a mass procession, a tradition marking a 19th-century miracle.
• Beirut 2024 Worship Event (January 2024):10,000 Christians gathered for a worship event and prayer for unity during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
• Installation of a Huge Jesus Statue in Al Qaa (March 2026): A new, very large statue of Jesus Christ was installed in the border village of Al Qaa, serving as a landmark of faith.
• St. Maroun’s Day Celebrations (February 2026): Mass at the Saint George Maronite Cathedral in Beirut brought together political and religious leaders to mark the feast of the Maronite Church's patron saint.

Bless you, I hope you find kind friends to replace the ones you lost. 🌹

I'm talking about public places in strict Muslim countries. Would a Mass be allowed in Iran or Riyadh city centre? No. It would not.

So we should all be thankful that we are such an inclusive nation.

Unfortunately I am seeing an increase in everyday racism. People are far more vocal about it since certain political parties here and across the pond gained momentum. It's disgusting.
I have lost a couple of friends over it, even been called a "traitor" for helping asylum seekers with food parcels and doctors forms for their sick baby. The programme I volunteer for helps all people.

No you weren’t, why do you think anyone with half a brain will believe that?

No. A person with a Muslim husband posts that she is worried about racism. You immediately say Jewish people have it worse. Just why?? There is no need to reply like that and I would say the same if it was the other way around. About any topic actually. Shameless whataboutery with a dubious agenda.

We’re women, we are a marginalised group and should know better than to do anything but stand up to prejudice

Agreed. We’re better than this.

Sad times for many minorities. I don’t think we need to have a competitive argument about who experiences the worst prejudice. What we should be doing is standing shoulder to shoulder against racism. We’re women, we are a marginalised group and should know better than to do anything but stand up to prejudice!

Why? 3,000 people of all faiths and no faiths were fed for free, whats wrong with that?

I was fluent in Norwegian after living there three months

🤣

No you wont have been fluent. You will have had a working knowledge.

After the Iftar event in Trafalgar Square, people should be concerned about the rise of Islam.

I can’t see a single news source corroborating these threats.

Would like to see proof because this man lies. A lot.

We were originally discussing Muslim women being required to wear burkas in very hot weather. Not necessarily in the UK.

I don’t like this guy, but people are threatening to rape his daughter. She is teenager literally receiving rape threats from multiple men.

I was fluent in Norwegian after living there three months. I went on to live there many more years. But then again I made a big effort to learn.

St Peters Cathedral in Rabat. Off the top of my head.

If you only hear and are spoken to in a foreign language for 12 weeks the average person will gain a basic understanding of it. With lessons they can be fluent in less than 6 months.
As for banning the nikab it along with all face coverings should be illegal in public.

The vast majority of restaurants in the UK are not halal. None of them are attacked for not serving halal.

Muslim people are more likely to go to a Pakistani curry restaurant because they know it will be halal.

Very few Pakistanis would expect halal food at a Sikh restaurant.

Mr Singh has admitted his restaurant was losing money before all this debacle.

His car windows should not have been vandalised due to his support for the EDL and Reform.

It has nothing to do with him not serving halal.

No adult is capable of becoming fluent in a language in a year. I speak two languages fluently, well, my English is close enough. I work in a third language that I have only been learning so I’m not fluent, I have taken and passed professional qualifications in my third language.

Learning another language as an adult is a life long task, it isn’t something that happens quickly.

What languages do you speak?

They were wearing full burkas. TBF it was very hot.

Why are Muslim women not allowed to wear burkas in pools in Muslim countries? Is it against their religion?

Christians in those countries often face violence and persecution as minorities. The Lebanese Christians are the safest being 10% of the population.

Probably the safest place to be a religious minority in the muslim world is Dubai. i know egyptian copts, some Christian lebanese, druze from syria. It is never comfortable being a minority but really the religious intolerance is pretty extreme as in someone may genuinely try to kill you extreme.

Does that include those who attacked Mr Singh, the restaurateur who doesnt use halal?
Ill wait

It will be much worse after April when taxes go up - thanks to idiotic Rachel Reeves. I've noticed in the workplace people making comments that they wouldn't have made several years ago. The Cost of Living Crisis has everyone up against the wall. It doesn't help the government and most overpaid politicians aren't reading the room at all. Racial tension is going to get worse.
