It's interesting but I've see quite a few 'white' people in Manchester dressed up in conservative Islamic/Pakistani garb. I guess they are converts or have married Pakistani women or men. They have been assimilated into Islam rather than the other way around.

Apologise to Rio on behalf of Scoobynet.

Have some factual history regarding the loyalty of the Sikh population toward the British. It's only 30mins and you may learn a thing or two.

My very point.

But i would say 'worrying' rather than 'interesting'.

How do you know they had married Pakistani women or men? The muslim population spreads beyond just Pakistani people!

I think you should let the Muslim members of this board speak instead of continually trying to shut their opinions down with thinly veiled 'advice'. It's really not on, f1_fan.

Well, you've let him silence you; if you choose to be mute on a subject you clearly feel passionate about, it's your call, Banny, I just hope others like you aren't similarly coerced into silence.

That's crap and you know it. The post I was referring to was bait pure and simple. You're only sore as it spoils the 'sport'.

As I have opined several times if you were really wanting to debate the issues with Muslims there are many better places to do it than on SN. I for one can not work out why you and TdW keep posting on here about an issue you claim to want to debate with a section of society that in the main doesn't visit this site.

It's a bit like going a Ford dealer to buy Honda, they may have a few in the used car lot, but there are bound to be more at the Honda dealerd own the road.

Thanks JT, its been a long slog!

I mean a politician who is prepared to support this country as he should do as our elected leader and be prepared to stand up the the extra requirements that the Eu keeps on trying to press upon us telling them to wind their necks in, and also to take proper legal action against those who are trying to undermine our country and all it stands for.

We need someone like the one real leader we had in more recent times who stood up for this country and was not frightened to say "No".

It's a statistically valid assumption in the Manchester area.
