The future for Muslims in the UK is "bleak and dystopian"

syria (by the Syrian government & recently Turkey,) yemen, ( by the Saudi government), sudan (civil war)

Precisely. I commented on this thread having grown up in an area with a high proportion of Muslims, with muslim friends and neighbours about how both sides need to work on integrating into one community. There are sadly racist thugs who use any excuse to inflict violence but these people do not represent the vast majority, most of us detest these people and just want to live in harmony.

We have more in common than we all think and it is important that we can have conversations without being accused of Islamophobia which is what this thread has descended to.

80% are judged to be genuine asylum seekers yet many people don't care about that.

There is an overlap between the two groups. Some people arrive here and claim asylum and so are “asylum seekers “ … if their claim is rejected they become “illegal immigrants “.
So … some of the asylum seekers are ultimately judged illegal immigrants

But no doubt you knew that already

Illegal immigrants receive nothing. Asylum seekers, yes. But you know that already. Do you take issue with refuge and asylum in which case you could say that and make a case for it but you are erroneously trying to imply that asylum seekers are illegal immigrants which is incorrect.

Name anywhere else in the world where Muslim civilians predominantly women and children are being bombed, killing tens of thousands.

But they are relevant when our government are supporting it. That's like saying the concern for the hostages is also not relevant to the UK. Is that what you think?
Not all Jews are frightened of the protests though, many are taking part. Some are which I agree is something to be addressed with what is intimidating them and how we stop that whilst also balancing that people have a right to protest against a genocide. No one ever should be facing threats or aggression and I would condemn any actions at a protest towards Jewish people like that. Some of the reported incidents of being fearful of the protests though has been saying that the Palestinian Flag makes someone feel threated for example so we need to balance people's feelings with facts. Just as we need to actually address and call out real attacks on the Muslim community (the ones you were dismissing earlier ) but also balance them with people's rights in a free country.

Is our government sending weapons to China...?

fairy nuff, just seemed not to touch on the citme very much.

Incorrect.

Some are some are not. There are several threads about antisemitism in the uk in this board.

note I’ve no problem with them. Neither do I’ve a problem about this thread being in this board

Whereas non-muslim parents purely just teach kids to bully, riot and be Islamophobic.

Are you saying the men who arrive on boats are not accomodated in hotels, because that's not what I see round here. I cannot speak for what faith they may follow.

Apologies for incorrect grammar ! I say sorry when I made a mistake :) them muslim parents hey teaching us these values....

The two problems I have with the Gaza protests are firstly that it's not relevant to the UK or if it is there's not a lot we can do about it. But the fact that Jews in the UK are frightened to go out in London while the marches are on IS relevant to the UK and there IS something we can do about that.

And secondly I am suspicious of the motives of many of those on the marches in that there doesn't seem to be as much of an effort made to protest against ongoing treatment of Muslims in other countries such as China.

Neither of those are Islamaphobic views I wouldn't think.

‘Not intelligently put’ then proceeds to spell you’re wrong - fantastic.

Apologies I haven't read this thread past @piggypigalle who claims that this is a "Christian country".

• For the first time in a census of England and Wales, less than half of the population (46.2%, 27.5 million people) described themselves as “Christian”, a 13.1 percentage point decrease from 59.3% (33.3 million) in 2011; despite this decrease, “Christian” remained the most common response to the religion question.
• “No religion” was the second most common response, increasing by 12.0 percentage points to 37.2% (22.2 million) from 25.2% (14.1 million) in 2011.

From the 2023 ONS. So by my reckoning that means UK isn't predominantly a Christian country.

@Scirocco posts regularly advocating for tolerance for all groups and religions including the Jewish community. You must be new here.

If that’s what you want to talk about don’t sit and wait for someone else to start a thread, just start your own.

Remind me who makes the law? It isn't religious groups. This country will never be subject to Sharia Law.

OK I'll bite for one more post;-

1. not divisive- discussion on an article about report highlighting islamaphobia
2. muslims= british. Get that right in your head first and for the rest of you that have posted about us being foreign aliens. We're one of you lot- shock horror. 😲 quick cleanse yourselves you got Muslims the same nationality as you...

If you meant 95% non muslim people then say that, don't essentially equate Muslims as not being british because that is factually incorrect isn't it.
Being derogatory about anyone else having taken your word for what you wrote, as 'having half a brain cell' is not helpful nor very intelligently put - when your the one who made the mistake, just kindly correct yourself without name-calling.
3) glad we agree on attacks on Muslims not being condoned.
4) your right conversation and respect works both ways- so if the article about islamaphophia is highlighted why has this thread descended into ' only antisemitism is really a problem' ' go back to your country' ' shariah law is out to get us' rubbish.
Couldn't people have just come on and commented on the article and said yes/no we don't think it's a problem and this is why... instead of let's pick apart the ' issues' around the whole population of Muslims and what we don't like about them.
Its like saying on a antisemitism thread - let's not talk about that the hate they're receiving - let's just talk about what parts of Judaism I disagree with. Forget the actual human/ kids receiving the daily hate.

See the problem...nope? Didn't think you would. Have a good day.

I don't know which threads you're referring to, are they recent?

I am suggesting if you are here purely to enlighten the MN community about issues of diversity then I look forward to your articles about other minorities too e.g antisemitic attacks on Jews

Some of us would say that the levels of Islamophobia and as the article says the reluctance to call out Islamophobia when it's there is directly related to how our government especially and some of the public approaches the genocide in Gaza and the smearing of anti genocide and anti occupation protests as antisemitic.

I note you didn't take issue with the thread being on this board when you posted your misinformation that illegal immigrants are being put up in hotels etc..

Did I specifically say you? Several PP about ‘sticking it to Muslims and Muslim bashing’.
