the point is that the average British muslim is much less likely to be in the army than the average Brit


i think you omit to mention the numbers of muslims claiming benefits


look at statistics for a place like luton, for example, the comparisons of the proportions of each ethnic group claiming benefits is astounding.


Why does army always crop up when questioning someone's loyalty? I wouldn't want to fight simply for the reason that we have an aggressive foreign policy, all the wars we enter so far have been without justification, and also the fact that I'm not a pawn that subordinates to a guy in an office telling me to shoot a child.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts


I actually agree with this.


The British way of doing things is much better than America's. Panache aside, I do rather like the fact we don't leave poor people to die on operating beds because they can't pay, or how we have a few television channels which don't literally tell the presenters of shows to make sure a brand logo on their drinks cup is facing the camera.


What I dislike however, is that Britain's self-doubt with inevitably lead to everything good about this country disappearing, there is no nobility in weakness.

the words are here so you can join in:
Cowardice (are you serious?)
Apologies for freedom (I can't handle this!)
When freedom rings (answer the call!)
On your feet (stand up tall!)
Freedom's on our shoulders (USA!)
Enemies of freedom
Face the music (come on boys, take 'em down!)
President Donald Trump knows how to make America great
Deal from strength or get crushed every time

[Chorus]
Over here (USA!)
Over there (USA!)
Freedom and liberty everywhere
Oh say can you see
It's not so easy
But we have to stand up tall and answer freedom's call

USA (USA!)
USA (USA)
We're the land of the free and the home of the brave, USA!
The stars and stripes are flying
Let's celebrate our freedom
Inspire proudly freedom to the world
A merit to (USA!)
American pride (USA!)
It's attitude, it's who we are, stand up tall
We're the red, white and blue
Fiercely free, that's who!
Our colours don't run, no sir-ee

Nothing like the DPRK, their patriotism is love for socialism and altruism, the USA is just for a violent brainwashing foreign policy.
literally the only Americans I see patriotic are the white Americans.

You're clearly not loyal judging from what you just said.
