Come in number 5. Old news Ex.
However, xenophobia could be a major issue in the not so distant future. I have posted this before I think, worth a second viewing just to remind ourselves. You chaps had better start getting busy. I think Mohammed was last years top name too. (or the year before) All Muslim babies have the name Mohammed, plus another name.

Identity and culture is important, humans are tribal and that's how things work. Look at all the great empires the world has had, they have all broken down, we are not geared up to globalise and integrate so quickly, its something that takes hundreds of years.
Stupidly many countries have tried to follow the capitalist model and that is also doomed to failure by its own definition. The capitalist model isn't driven by the people, its driven by the rich to make themselves richer.
Almost overnight we went from a country that had babies and children with mothers to a country that had working mothers, you just cannot change culture that fast and expect it to work. It doesn't matter if it driven by capitalist ideals or equality ideals or any other reason, sudden changes will cause problems.
Humans are the slowest of all animals to develop and adapt.

The amount of personal debt, drug abuse, crime, selfishness, anti-social behaviour, poverty, corruption, greed, military action and numerous other things show how poorly the human race has adapted.
Nobody wants to live in fear or worry but most of the world do. Even countries that a few years ago would have been classed as "contented" eg Sweden have been turned upside down by the rate of change.
The world is in a constant stream of destabilisation yet the leader's roles are to create stability. We are failing on a grand scale.
How long will it be before public parks charge entrance fees and/or have huge advertisements plastered all over them. Toll roads have returned after we near enough got rid of them. Its all capitalism and not about human life. We are going backwards in a world carefully disguised to make it seem like we are benefiting.
We used to go to Eastham and start up a game of cricket or rounders etc, loads of families used to join in, upwards of 50 people wasn't uncommon. Babies were left at the edge of the field in their prams. Do we have a similar quality of life now?

Firstly it is NOT Islam bashing. It is pointing out a fact that migration is raising the populations of many countries across the West. As you know many of the migrants are from Muslim countries in Asia and the Middle East, Islam encourages to have many children, Islam decrees that Muslims are not allowed to leave their faith. Women in Saudi Arabia are demanding the right to drive, at the same time i.e. this week,did you know that 14 men have been sentenced to death by beheading for crimes they say they were forced to admit to under torture in an unfair trial ? Called men but they are mostly teenagers. Islam still lives in the Middle Ages. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/n...arabia-continues-bloody-execution-spree/Strange how some think it uncivilised to criticize certain faiths but ok to bash Christianity without any repercussions. The whole point of the issue is that with proportional representation, the West will eventually become a Muslim civilisation , with the Islamic laws becoming more prevalent and incorporated into our own . Until such time as they will dominate. It is only the blind who pretend it's not possible. Not so long ago on this forum, I was rebuked for mentioning the fact that the horrors being committed in Middle Eastern countries would find their way to Europe. Laughed off, but in hindsight, is Europe now suffering or not , at the hands of these madmen, who are capable of anything or is it purely our imagination ? Most grew up in post war years without much, most did well because they had more opportunity after the war. The 60's and into the 70's, saw us getting back on our feet again, better qualification, jobs for life with prospects of promotion, home ownership, cars, foreign holidays, music, (drink , drugs, sex if you wanted them ), women's liberation and freedom....we had it all. We had the best of times and the best of prospects . Life was vibrant and fun. Not so now, a cloud is constantly covering us all , a cloud of doom and gloom because we don't know what is going to happen from one week to the next. If you think that Muslim families are allowed to adapt to our culture, you may be kidding yourself. Muslims,don't like our culture and as it's a religion, they have to obey the Imam! Nothing to do with anyone else.

I think what disturbs me the most is that instead of immigrants integrating with their chosen country, those countries are integrating with the immigrants. If you emigrate you chose the country you move to over your own, you must accept the laws and customs of that country, why on earth are we changing our country? Our national language is English, I don't understand why schools, councils etc are having to adapt and spend a lot of money in being multi-lingual. If foreign nationals need a translation service it should be provided by the respective embassy or amongst the community, by all means provide English lessons free to help immigrants adapt. No doubt there are some UK mosques that have the call-to-prayer (Adhan) broadcast from the minaret, my only thoughts on that are "bells"
