Funny Myths

Can I just debunk some popular myths about Muslims in the UK for all the racists?

Highest employment rate of all religions Less likely to be living in Council accommodation of all religions Highest rate of qualifications and more likely to have degrees of all religions Highest rates of good health of all religions and top of all this, Muslim have the smallest families of all religions.

1. none of that has ANY relevance when the muslim community fails to integrate with the existing society simply because the ideology is extremely xenophobic
2. You what? this question is racist and biased. Plus its not a question!!!!
3. I don't have a problem with their employment rate, their housing arrangements, their level of education, their state of health or their family size. I'm concerned about the establishment of Sharia Law. It would be nice of you to cite your source, however, because I might want to use those statistics in the future? Can't really use them unless you post up some kind of government census... Thanks...
4. Can you back those claims up with authenticated statistics? Otherwise they themselves are just 'myths'. I know that racists and scare mongers like the BNP and the Daily Mail exagerate the 'threat' of Islam, but counter-claims need proof otherwise they will just be dismissed.
5. Biggest amount of nutters (not including jehovahs witnesses)
6. YEAh but - 40% Support full sharia law on the entire population, which includes treating non-muslims like crap. and 50% have SYMAPTHY for the FEELINGS & MOTIVES of the London suicide bombers
7. Racism is about race or colour not religion . It is not racist to criticise or scorn any particular religion , Muslim or otherwise . Muslims are embraced by many nationalities and it seems that the interpretation of the religion is quite varied among these different races .
8. I was at a campus library late at night. There were 3 young muslim men talking amongst each other. Yes I was nosy. The were about 19 to 22ism and Americans. Just basically Americans who were Muslim. Anyway, one was telling his friends on how he was harassed at the airport. He said he cooperated fully, but you could tell that he was hurt by it. I felt sorry for him, because he has to suffer because fanatics of Islam make people fear him. At that point I saw 3 humans who were Muslim.
9. I am not islamophobic, I am not afraid of islam because I don't believe Allah is real. but I am afraid of muslims, Allah can't hurt me because he don't exist. But those nut jobs out there can, because they are real and so far they been doing nothing but proving the world how dangerous they are.
10. I never believed any of those. No need to debunk them.
11. What good will that do, stiring up racial hatred.
12. ill debunk some for you.... a)islamics have the smallest families - lie, they have been shown in the uk to be responsible for 60% of births b)highest employment? they are MORE LIKLEY to be employed by family. c)highest rate of qualifications for any religion - well if we are talking about the uk that doesnt surprise me as there is hardly anyone believes religious bullshit these days - other than the lamics that is. d) highest rate of good health? how can you possibly claim that without speaking to everyone in the world e) lesslikely to live in a council house - primarily because theyd be driven out of council estates, and it is illegal to have 50 people per room per house. f)islam is not a race problem it is a culture problem, islamics are not all black or all white - so there is no race issue with islam - if you dont understand that then you yourself debunk the myth that islamics are intelligent. g) islam is peaceful and honest - no it is not, look at the actions of your fellow mulsims around the world and no major islamic leaders condemn their acts, also taqiya - the act of being dishonest in foreign lands for the betterment of islam.
13. your first anwerer obviously havent heard of the IRA. they bomb all kinds of crap out of each other. obviously havent really read up about any other kind of religious wars. wake up son. but yes, kudos for your observations above. but you must admit, its that has the baddest rep at the moment. i think more awareness needs to be spread about this. and btw, all the terrorist attacks, its a conspiracy everybody. HALLO? watch zeitgeist!!!!!
14. references? or are are we expected to take your word for it? because, while I could probably accept one or two of these, I seriously doubt a couple of them.
15. Can I just remind you that Islam is NOT a race?
16. Smitty, you'll find that Christians are responsible for more terrorist outrages throughout history than all other religions put together. Oh, and Dr Watson? Highest number of suicide bombings of all religions. Possibly true, however, Christians have bombed abortion clinics and like to torture and kill "child witches" in Nigeria. Highest number of decapitations of innocent people than any other religion, FALSE, that was Christianity... Highest number of ' honour' killings of all religions. False, that is dependent on country, not religion. Highest number of suicide bombings of all religions, What, again? Highest number of cowards (stab your enemy in the back rather than face him) of all religions. False, that's Christians. Highest number of persons alleging racism than any other religion. False, that's Christians again.
17. "The [Muslim] population multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society, the research by the Office for National Statistics reveals. In the same period the number of Christians in the country fell by more than 2 million. " "Some of the Muslim population, by no means all of them, are the least socially and economically integrated of any in the United Kingdom" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5621482.ece "Unemployment rates for Muslims are higher than those for people from any other religion, for both men and women." http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=979 Highest rate of suicide bombers. Largest number of hate mongering clerics. Most homophobic.
