Multiculturalism has failed

Now whilst i believe the debate itself has merit ( though think that DC has put a rather disturbing anti islamic slant on it)
I do not think it the wisest day to do so given that there is a planned march by the English Defence League (think BNP with more hair) today

march in Luton

I'm really not Daft Punk my previous name was MuddlePuddle86 for what it's worth.

I have no idea who Daft Punk is.

best i have - now do you want to respond to any actual points or are you just stalking me being picky!

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:43

Well I am surprised! I could have sworn you were her. Apologises. As you were!

What was that Betty or whatever talking about? - Germans (steady there racist, my best pal is German) and Jews - have a couple of Jewish girl pals who get on with my German pal very well too (sorry to upset you)

Why do some people think it is ok when they talk a load of bigoted bolloxs but don't expect white/English/British/Scottish etc etc to be able to have the same old bullshitty say!!!

dobiegirl · 06/02/2011 21:47

Who are all the racist bigots betty?

Aren't you a nice piece of work!!!

softglowsandmaybes · 06/02/2011 21:49

LOTM DP is bad!!! i never would have thought you were her - shes bad, but funny

StarlightPrincess · 06/02/2011 21:50

The horse-fucking thing really did crack me up, I have to say!

dobiegirl · 06/02/2011 21:51

giveitago · 06/02/2011 21:51

So WHAT IS THE CHIP ON MY SHOULDER? I clearly don't know and now it's bugging me as I'd quite possibly have a better quality of life for knowing.

dobiegirl · 06/02/2011 21:51

Only kidding - no idea who that is!!!

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 21:51

discussing Germany C1936 in the context of The way Jews where used as scape goats and comparing it to present day Islamaphobis in light of the global econimic crisis is what was being discussed - no one said anything about 'Germans'

I loved in Germany in my 20's I have many many German friends - and polish ones, dutch, australian. american etc etc do I win Grin

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:52

I don't know who DP is I haven't seen her posts. Dobie is in a league of her own I think.

Just to recollect my thoughts; there are many aspects of things that are British that I thoroughly enjoy, but I feel the pressure to "fit in" so overwhelming, when I really can't just drop some values-or expect British born people to drop theirs.

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 21:53

Your chip is you seem to think everyone rejects you and you can;t mix with people - according to your post :)

you think you don;t belong

or you think everyone else thinks that

those are issues that leas to chipdom

but that is only based on the small bit I undersootd ,shrugs. I could be very wrong - in wich case forgive me

dobiegirl · 06/02/2011 21:53

LadyOfTheManor · 06/02/2011 21:56

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 21:57

Blush yeh I did actually - sorry combo of arthritic fingers and watching being human - but anyway I LOVED and still LOVE Germany - I'd move back in a shot - and be a dirty economic migrant Grin

softglowsandmaybes · 06/02/2011 21:58

no you aint dobie, you would have jumped on my previous id straight awway - and you aint nearly cuastic enough

alemci · 06/02/2011 21:59

I think you will find that some Hindus are not keen on Moslems either and feel threatened by Islam. take the India/Pakistan situation.

I think it is because in Islam there has been no reformation and it hasn't really moved forward. To me it seems like how christianity was in the middle ages.

Also as a christian I feel very sorry for the christians in countries such as Pakistan who are treated unfavourably.

It is a very difficult subject to discuss as it does become very emotive.

dobiegirl · 06/02/2011 21:59

Gordy is not an immigrant - or if she being one between 9.30 and 10.30 tonight before turning into a buddhist Turk between 10.30 and 11.30 rolling into bed shortly after that and waking at 7.00 am to find herself a lady of the Amazon and so on and so forth every hour after that!!!

dobiegirl · 06/02/2011 22:00

What is the meaning of this word cuastic? never heard of it I'm afraid!!!

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 22:00

No I am not - my father was

gordyslovesheep · 06/02/2011 22:01

course Islam has moved forward - there are different factions and levels as with Christianity - other wise I'd never be able to share an office with a Muslim man - which I do
