Is the BNP racist/not racist?
Stop the Islamification of UK if it’s occurring.

George I don’t see the link between the two?

Lets for arguments sake believe 50 years from now the UK becomes mostly Muslim, after all like the BNP says “followers of Islam breed like rabbits” just like the BNP used to say “the UK would be taken over by blacks because they breed like rabbits”.

How does Islamification link to the BNP being or not being racist?

The BNP can be racist and right on the Islamification issue or be not racist and be wrong on the Islamification issue.

The two are in no way linked.

Just to throw a small spanner in the BNP Islamification argument. The last census was 2001 (next is 2011 so we’ll have new data soon) and the religious makeup of the UK was as follows:

Religions in United Kingdom, 2001

Religion/Denomination: Current religion : Percent %
Christian 42,079,000 71.6
No religion 9,104,000 15.5
Muslim 1,591,000 2.7
Hindu 559,000 1.0
Sikh 336,000 0.6
Jewish 267,000 0.5
Buddhist 152,000 0.3
Other Religion 179,000 0.3
All religions 45,163,000 76.8
Not Answered 4,289,000 7.3
No religion +
Not Answered 13,626,000 23.2
Base 58,789,000 100

That’s 2001.

In 2007 a BSA Survey gave the following figures.

Denominations in Great Britain

Religion/Denomination : Percent %
No religion 45.7
Church of England 20.9
Roman Catholic 9.0
Presbyterian/Church of Scotland 2.8
Methodist 1.9
Other Protestant 2.7
Christian (no denomination) 10.3
Other Christian 0.4
Muslim 3.3
Hindu 1.4
Jewish 0.4
Sikh 0.4
Other Religion 0.4
Refused / NA 0.5

Interesting take on this:

“British Social Attitudes Surveys have shown the proportion of those in Great Britain who consider they “belong to” Christianity to have fallen from 66% in 1983 to 48% in 2006.

The disparity between the 2001 census data and the above polls has been put down to both the decline in religious adherence in the UK since 2001 and a phenomenon of cultural religiosity, whereby many who do not believe in gods still identify with a religion because of its role in their upbringing or its importance to their family.[76]”

The biggest threat to your religion are atheists not Muslims who have barely changed percentage over the 6-7 year period.

Do you really believe in just 30 years Muslims will out breed us? Seriously, there’s currently around 3% of the country are Muslim, to hit 50% of the population they’d have to have hundreds of kids each while other had NONE!

I’m one of the 45% of atheists who looks set to be the British majority very soon and I’m very tolerant of religion. Lets jump 30 years from now when based on the figures we’ll have well over 50% of the country as non religious, do you really think they would accept Islamification of the UK?

Going Islam would mean changing the UK from a quite tolerant Christian country (I’m sure even 30 years from now we’ll still see ourselves as a Christian country) to a not very tolerant Islam country!

British people would not accept it, it would take the majority (well over 50%) of the population to have converted to Islam and it’s highly unlikely to ever happen (religion is dieing in the UK).

Islamification is the BNP’s new scaremongering tactic now they can no longer get away with direct racism to scare people into voting for them. Thirty years ago we still had signs outside B&Bs etc… in Britain that were racist like “no blacks or Paddies” and 45 years ago Tory politicians gaining power with slogans like “If you want a nigger for a neighbour, vote Labour”!

British people no longer tolerate direct racial hatred, (behind closed doors, maybe, but no longer out in the open) but are apparently not too bothered by religious direct intolerance when it comes to Islam!

I don’t see much difference between the BNP direct racism of the 80s and early 90s and the current BNP direct religious discrimination against Muslims. They are both discrimination, one on race, one on religion. They are both wrong and though Britain may tolerate the BNPs lack of tolerance to religions other than Christianity it’s not going to be like that in the future when again the BNP are proved wrong (the BNP was wrong on “blacks breeding like rabbits” and they’ll be wrong on Muslims).

I’m afraid (actually I’m thankful) George you and the BNP are a dying breed and we won’t have to tolerate this type of race and religious hatred forever.
