So it would be misusing black mumsnetters to ask for their take on racism? Ok

Yes, that would be a misuse of that forum.

Have you been to Bangkok? It’s all white men as sex tourists.

Of course, but British men IN GENERAL do not hold the values pp mentioned.

Which council in Wales?

it was actually the Welsh government as it turns out. Ban dogs as an over enthusiastic ‘anti racist’ measure.

an article about attitudes toward dogs in Islam:
https://www.animalsinislam.com/islam-animal-rights/dogs/

Obviously the majority of Muslims living here, maybe second or third generation, that wish to assimilate into British society, live in mixed areas and are perfectly fine with dogs.

Unlike some arguing against OP on this thread, I don’t see all Muslims as a homogeneous group. I understand that they follow different strands of Islam and have different standards and there is a variety of approaches from the influential mosque leaders.

As West Midlands police have revealed, in some areas, there are powerful and large mosques with leaders that preach extremism with impunity. They threaten mob violence if their demands are not met and the authorities bow to them.

THESE are the Muslims that are causing serious concerns in our society and when we listen to them and their plans to gain power it is a worry. They are using the moderate Muslims as a human shield to protect and divert attention from their extremist views. Too many people in power are very worried about upsetting those that they seem to treat as a homogeneous group of Muslims. This is the problem.

Call for dog-free areas in Wales to tackle racism

The recommendation has been put to the Welsh government in a report responding to its anti-racism action plan. But the goal of the dog-free areas is unclear.

Someone told me that my made up 'white daughter' should only reproduce with a white partner lest mixed race creep into my family.
I asked if the same would be said to the mother of the "mixed race " daughter she described in the exact same way lest whiteness creeps in 🙄
So again what did I make up?

I can't work out here if you are deliberately trying to misrepresent the thread in order to avoid the allegation of having made things up, or whether your brain is actually so addled that you aren't capable of thinking straight.

Yes, that's ridiculous. Islam generally permits keeping dogs for specific, functional purposes—such as guarding, hunting, or herding, anyway.

Poetnojo · 15/02/2026 17:59

Ah so should you say similar to the poster who actually posted that about her mixed race daughter, that she better only reproduce with non whites lest whiteness creeps into her family?

Let's get this straight for the record.

You claimed in this post that I had said that my mixed race daughter should only reproduce with non whites lest whiteness creeps into my family.

That is pure fabrication and nothing else.

It is true that another completely unrelated poster suggested that you should advise your fictional white daughter to only reproduce with white people, given your strange obsession with whiteness. That comment had nothing to do with me or with anything that I have posted.

How dare you seek to misrepresent what I said in this way.

Let’s see what the Islamic website says. No dogs as pets. Remember there are some in this country that preach these versions of Islam.

Islam forbids Muslims to keep dogs, and the punishment for that is that the one who does that loses one or two qirats from his hasanat (good deeds) each day. An exception has been made in the case of keeping dogs for hunting, guarding livestock and guarding crops .
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for herding, hunting or farming, one qirat will be deducted from his reward each day.” Narrated by Muslim, 1575.

Look up the recent Defea report on the countryside being ‘too white’. I’m cooking dinner.

Somerford · 15/02/2026 18:56

MunicipalDarwinism · 15/02/2026 17:29

Well, if white women choose to have fewer children with white partners then numbers of white people will probably very slowly decline.

But if you are worried about that, there is good news. White people migrate to the UK. So that will help keep the numbers up. The bonus is they bring their cultures and traditions with them, to add to the rich diversity of the UK.😊

Ok this is progress. The thread has become solely about skin tone and you've moved past that, admitting that immigrants of any stripe bring with them a different culture and different traditions. That is not inherently good, in fact in many cases its frankly terrible and migrants from certain countries bring with them cultures and attitudes which are wholly incompatible with those of the native people which leaves our country in a worse position than it was in before those people immigrated here.

Regardless of skin tone and the colour of certain posters' daughter's eyes, immigrants change the country. If white british people become a minority in their own homeland, their country will be irreversibly changed permantly and they're allowed to object to that. See, it was very simple after all that.

Right, so a proposal to keep dogs on leads in some places? As a white atheist, I would welcome that. I go for a lot of walks in the countryside and much as I like dogs, it's actually very annoying when they jump up at you with their muddy paws.

It is my dark-haired, brown-eyed, brown-skinned daughter's homeland too.

You can object to white people becoming a minority all you like, but what do you want anyone to do about it? Force white women to have more children? Ban white people from having interracial relationships? What's your solution?

If you're really concerned, perhaps you should get off MN and go and start making babies.

I have children, thank you. What I plan to do about it is vote for whichever party convinces me most when they say they'll end mass immigration, prevent illegal immigration and repatriate any immigrants whose presence here is to the detriment of the country. Be that financially or culturally.

Yes, I personally think that the Muslim injunction that dog saliva is unclean is a pretty understandable one. I love dogs myself but my mother is very allergic & overall I think dog mores need to change to ensure they are better trained and licensed.

Re Islam : the alcohol one is another one people criticise but I'm less sure if this one is worthy of much criticism either. British pub culture is great in many ways but imo the alcohol is its weak point. Alcohol problems are high here & especially bad for men. Pubs are great for socialising so I understand it when people argue the alcohol ban stops Muslim men socialising as much but there are ways round this. Alcohol is linked to so many illnesses and I don't think it is ideal for it to be seen as integral to British culture (or any other).

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you're questioning my post. The website you linked confirms that dogs are allowed for those purposes. I never said Muslims were allowed dogs as pets.
