Far right political groups in the UK (throughout Europe) are concerned at what they see as the spread of the Islam/Muslim faith, the so called Islamification of Britain/Europe/America et al. The concern is the Islam/Muslim faith will replace the current main faiths (Christian, Catholic etc…) and way of life and even laws in those countries. […]

Well I had to smile at this one, it seems the Swiss are concerned too.
I live in a Muslim country and actually located in the middle of about 4 Mosques and whilst the call to prayer can be actually quite pleasant of an evening to listen to, at 4.20am during the summer I could quite happily take an AK47 to those irritating tannoys!

“THIS woman doesn’t represent us,” snarled the screaming mob of Islamist yobs who cornered Baroness Sayeeda Warsi in Luton last week and pelted her with eggs and abuse.
Yes, these big brave men rounded on a woman they see as a traitor to their faith for the simple reason she doesn’t walk around cowed and covered from head to toe in black robes.

According to an article in the Birmingham Mail, Harborne Hill School will not be putting on a Christmas show but instead will have a “gritty gang tale” which will include re-enacted stabbing scenes.
The school said such incidents were “reality” for its pupils and the idea was to “explore the effect of gangs and gun crime.”
The play, called Lean On Me, will “star” 15-year-old Ngoni Gudo as the main character “K9” and 14-year-old Claudine Henry as “Angel.”
The play was written by school English teacher, Mrs Ophia Flash. She was quoted in the media as saying that it was “important for the children to take part. Some of our kids live in an area where guns go off and they have to run off and duck. This is a reality for them.”
“We’ve kept the plot simple to be more effective and used special stage knives and blood ‘potatoes’ to portray the scenes involving stabbings,” she added.
There are approximately 22,000 people resident in the Edgbaston ward. The population density is roughly 23 persons per hectare compared to an average of around 36.5 for Birmingham as a whole. The ward has an approximate average age of 37 compared to 36 for the city as a whole.
The white British population accounts for around 58% of all residents. Approximately 17% of the population is of Asian origin with roughly 9.5% from India, 4.5% from Pakistan and 0.5% from Bangladesh. Around 8% of the population is black, including 5.5% of Afro-Caribbean descent. 8.5% are white non-British (including Irish), 3.5% are of mixed race, and 5% are of Chinese origin or belong to some other ethnic group.
In research conducted by the University of Manchester, Birmingham is believed to become Britain’s second plural city, where no ethnicity forms a majority, in 2024. Leicester is expected to become the first such city in 2019. The white ethnic group is still expected to be the largest

This is what really pisses me off about the UK, why do some idiots have to spoil the essences of Christmas for everyone else??
This is one of the reasons we left, I like celebrating Christmas openly and fully, I’m pissed off that I had to move to the UAE to do it.
This week I have three school Christmas Carol concerts, nativity plays and three Christmas Fayres to go to, all the Malls have huge trees and little grottos, shops are playing Christmas Carols, etc. On Christmas Day we are inundated with corporate texts from government companies giving out Christmas wishes.
Wrong way around isn’t it?

You are making the assumption the reason for the non traditional Christmas play was to avoid problems with those who do not believe in celebrating Christmas. Is there actually any evidence to support this assumption? If there is you have a point that I agree with, but evidence is needed first.
My wife and youngest son went to a play the other night, it was by a group called Strangeface and they put on a traditional Christmas play with a twist (they wore masks and performed with puppets), Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. The play was sold out and there wasn’t enough seats for everyone! They really enjoyed the play, so if you see it advertised near you go see it :-)
Christmas is alive and well in the UK, it doesn’t have to be a Christmas play in every single school or whatever through the Christmas period. When I was a teenager the school I went to (99% white kids) didn’t put on a Christmas school play.
Maybe the school in question discovered their pupils aren’t interested in performing in or watching a traditional Christmas play, so trying something more to their students liking.
Our local council paid for a Christmas party for a primary school (think it was over over £1,000!) and not enough kids/parents turned up to make it worthwhile, they cancelled it this year (rightly so as well, waste of money). The cancellation had nothing to do with opposition to celebrating Christmas, but it could be spun that way.
I really hate it when people make assumptions just to fit their agenda. If you can supply evidence for what you believe I’m open to complaining at dropping a Christmas play because not everyone celebrates Christmas.
I despise political correctness for the sake of it.

David,
I’m comfortable to take that on the chin. We left in 2005 so things may be different now,I don’t know. My eldest was at school in UK for a short while and her first Christmas at school was watered down somewhat so I’m only speaking from personal experience.

School cancels Christmas nativity in favour of Muslim Eid celebrations
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/christmas/3545246/School-cancels-Christmas-nativity-in-favour-of-Muslim-Eid-celebrations.html
“The results of a survey out this week have found that in Britain only one in five schools will be putting on a traditional nativity play this year. The rest are opting for non-religious plays for fear of offending non-Christians. Examples of the less traditional plays are The Bossy King, Scrooge, Snow White, Snow Queen, and Hansel and Gretel. Even Elvis Presley is included in some plays mentioned in the survey!”
I’m happy to celebrate Eid, Diwali and Holi as well, there should probably be national holidays for all:-)

Actually I do take your point about schools not wanting to celebrate through lack of interest and I suppose it would also depend on the demographic content of that school as well.
If it’s majority Muslim or Hindu then maybe not, but a bit of a bummer for the minority in this case if they wanted to, but majority rules in that respect.
In our particular school in UK it was around 60% Christian and 40% ethnic, so it did well and truly cause a huge uproar.

I agree with the BNPs point that British schools should not cancel traditional Christmas celebrations for fear of upsetting those who don’t celebrate Christmas (not just Muslims, and some Muslims do celebrate Christmas BTW).
My main point was is there any evidence that this play was put on because the school was going politically correct or another reason? Not exactly a politically correct play they planned if it was a replacement for a traditional Christmas play!
I don’t know why they did the play, reading the article it doesn’t specifically say a traditional Christmas play was cancelled because Muslims are up in arms or some other nonsense. The article was clearly written from the perspective the topic of the play is controversial (gangs, knifes) and it’s not very Christmas like for a play in December.
It’s a newspaper reporting on a controversial play and the BNP have made it sound much worse than it is.
I did a little research and could only find reference to one other Christmas play involving the school, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (in 2008), a collaboration between three schools and think it wasn’t performed at the school in question.
Might be a case this school doesn’t normally put on a traditional Christmas play, many don’t.
When the BNP puts news stories out like this it really discredits their message. Like I said I agree with the BNP on this one and I’m an atheist, so have no vested interest either way beyond enjoying celebrating Christmas which was a pagan festival originally.
There’s no greater joy for a Dad when you dress up as Santa for the first time and your youngest child starts crying because a very strange man with all white hair dressed in bright red insists you sit on his knee :-) All three of my sons cried the first time they saw me dressed as Father Christmas, I’m not that scary as a overweight old man in blood red clothing!
I tried Frosty the Snowman one year, combination of a quilt and lots of cotton wool. I almost died from heat stroke, though the kids didn’t cry!
If a group in society don’t want to celebrate Christmas, I’m not going to force them, but by the same token I honestly don’t care if it upsets a minority of extremists. It’s Christmas and in the UK we celebrate it with a big smile on our collective faces.
If councils and schools are really canceling plays for political reasons, they are wrong and something should be done about it.

I personally don’t think that Christmas does offend Muslims, Jesus (Isa), Mary (Maryam) and Joseph (Yusuf) feature in the Quran and he is recognised as a Prophet by Muslims.
I think it’s interfering do-gooding busybodies who spoil it for everyone in fear of offence and have no understanding of how entwined the Bible and the Quran really are.
The Quran was written after the Bible following the coming of the next Prophet (Mohammed)it’s aim (by Allah) was to clarify the text of the Bible which is why they are amazing similar in content. The fundamental difference between Muslim and Christian belief is the Holy Trinity, Muslims believe he was a Prophet and Christians generally believe he was the son of god.

Islam has nothing to do with Christianity, they deny Christ is our saviour.
It is contradictory to say that Allah and God are the same, because Allah in the Koran contradicts the Christian God in regard to Christ.
They cannot both be right, they cannot be the same deity.
Since there is only one true God, which is it?
I vote for the God of Israel. (and the BNP)

Islam has everything to do with Christianity.
Muslims are waiting for the return of Jesus to bind all of humanity religiously (the Day of Rising – Quran / Day of Resurrection – Bible). Both the Bible and the Quran believe that he will descend from the sky.
We can play bat and ball with this but Muslims are instructed to accept the Bible as the word of god except where it is superseded or contradicted by the Quran.
View Comment
Why would the Bible be contradicted by the Koran, does God contradict Himself, is He divided against himself?
Just because the Koran came later, it does not make it better, or more truthful.
Islam just wants everyone to accept what they believe, the same as any other religious sect, so they can spread their culture all over the Earth.

Rosie,
I’ll answer your question as best as I understand it and try not to make it too long.
When Moses brought down the Ten Commandments from Mount Sinai, it began Judaism and was the foundation of all (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) religions. This was to set the laws of man directly from the Word of God. This is generally accepted as the first 5 books of the Old Testament.
The coming of Jesus didn’t bring any new laws, his purpose was to spread the Word of God and to reinforce the original Ten Commandments. Many years after the death of Jesus the New Testament was written.
The original language of both the Torah and the Bible is not known for definite and but they were translated over the course of hundreds of years. At the time, many churches actually disagreed between themselves as to the literal interpretation and meaning of texts which allowed some parts of the Bible to become meaningless or perverse or distorted.
The coming of the Prophet Mohammed was to clarify what the content of the Bible should have been through the use of the Quran for people to finally understand it’s (the Bible) true meaning.
This is why they are similar in content. Moses (Musa), Abraham (Ibrahim) and Noah (Nugh) and Jesus (Isa) are all considered Prophets.
To answer an earlier point God and Allah are the same (Allah is arabic for God) this is also why Arab Christians refer to Allah instead of God.
Just to make it clear I am a Christian, I want the UK to remain a Christian country I just happen to have a great understanding of Islam and it’s connection with Christianity!!

How do you know you shouldn’t be animist or Shintoist? What do you know about it anyway? Read The God Delusion and wake up.
I’m not sure what your take on this is? I have already seen this in the press.
Personally, I think they can do this kind of play at any time of the year; why spoil the essence of Christmas by putting on something like this instead.
Why does it have to be an “either / or”?

Pedophilia and beastiality in Islam runs rampant because its allowed.
By Jennifer King
2005/07/18
Pedophilia is legal in Islam.
The law ordering pedophilia is in chapter 65, entitled ‘The Divorce’ and qualified by Islamic law, which is based on the sunnah, the ‘perfect example’ of Muhammad recorded in the hadiths, traditions. The context deals with the issue of the waiting period for divorce, and remarriage. The Quran orders Muslim men to wait a pe More..riod of three months in the case of women who either are no longer menstruating or haven’t yet started their menstrual cycles.
وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَأُوْلَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا

Court to consider divorce for 8-year-old girl
Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. His example in all things is considered normative in the Islamic world.
A SAUDI court will next month hear a plea for divorce from an eight-year-old girl married off by her father to a man in his fifties, the Arabic-language daily Al-Watan reported today.
It said the girl’s mother had filed the divorce More.. case with the court at Unayzah 220km north of Riyadh, and cited lawyer Abdullah Jtili as saying the father had arranged the marriage without telling the girl.
“She doesn’t know yet that she has been married,” added Jtili of the girl who is about to begin her fourth year at primary school.
Al-Watan said relatives of the girl had told a Saudi rights group of her plight and urged it to intervene to have the marriage annulled.
But the daily also reported that the husband had refused to renounce the marriage, saying that he had not done anything illegal.
Arranged marriages involving pre-adolescents are occasionally reported in the Arabian Peninsula, including in the ultra-conservative Saudi kingdom where the strict conservative Wahabi version of Sunni Islam holds sway and polygamy is common.
In Yemen in April, another girl aged eight was granted a divorce after her unemployed father forced her to marry a man of 28.
