I'm White, and not someone you'd expect to be Muslim. However, I have a rising interest in Islam, and so too do many other White people in this country and other Western nations. There is growing dissatisfaction with the "typical" Western lifestyle. This is a huge generalisation, but I believe that the White lifestyle/culture in this country is, to put it bluntly, highly degenerate, being orientated around materialism, consumerism, alcohol, drugs, casual sex, highly dependent on the government to provide, and also suffers (in my view) from a lack of religious insight. I believe Islam could provide the solution to these, and I may very well soon be one of the many tens, if not hundreds of thousands of White people to formally embrace Islam.

islamification is an awful thing for great britain. i don't want us to change and move towards that tripe! i can't stand islam and its petty life rules. the burka is one example of something very irritating that doesn't belong here.
i see no benefits for us to turn towards this religion at all. the rules are so preposterous; killing all 'unclean' animals in some cases.
2. The burqa is optional in islam, the hijab is compulsory (even though it cannot be forced) -

People have agreed with me, people have disagreed with me. This is a generally middle-class student forum so of course, the results are going to be skewed - to be honest, though, I'm surprised that the ratio of agree:disagree isn't more in the favour of the latter. Clearly with a few factors such as the rising numbers of Muslims, the rising number of converts, and the rising numbers of people who don't have knee jerk reactions to Islam and view it from a neutral perspective, Islam is gaining more influence. -

Where did I reference it? I suggest you look up a dictionary for the word reference - at no point in my post did I reference any other work. I simply provided the Daily Mail's article as an example of a White Muslim convert, the like of which there are hundreds of thousands, and are ever increasing in the UK. -

And why the hell not? If I was to migrate to a different country I'd damn well make sure I abide by their laws, customs, etc. I don't agree with Islamaphobia, but nor do I agree with the minority of Muslims who brainwash children into strapping bombs to their chest.
If they think our society is so god damned bad, why come over here in the first place? I wouldn't live somewhere if I thought the society was bad. Life in England is damn good compared to the life in many, many countries. Free healthcare, the right to vote, etc. If they don't like it, they can get out of the country as far as I'm concerned.
Me disagreeing with them has nothing to do with me wanting them out of the country. It's their feeling that our society is so inadequate for them.
So sit up there on your high horse over-using the rolling eye emoticon to give yourself an erection if you must, but don't assume to know a damn thing about me or my beliefs; or anyone else's for that matter. -

Why do you say that?
He said that it was because sharia law is a law best for muslims - however if the majority are against it then it is not allowed for it to be enforced on them - unless they willingly want it. -

Er, you what - I'm more British than most people - I was born here and identify as an English person with English ancestry. Just because someone doesn't share your perfect Western opinion doesn't mean you have any right to tell people to leave their homeland. -

Yeah, you're the one who clearly misused the word "reference", but I'm the one who missed the point..
Reference, n. /?r?f?r?ns/
1. An act or instance of referring
2. An mention; allusion
3. A book, passage etc. to which one is directed
Pretty sure a link to an article relevant to your argument fits within that.
Back to the substantive point, which you're still avoiding, the Daily Mail isn't exactly the kind of source that is going to give people respect for your position.
EDIT: No IPA, shame. -

Prove Islam - any religion, tbh - has some grounding in its believe which isn't mythical hearsay and I might consider.

I've got bad news for you. Those aspects of western society that you don't like are not going to change for the better (in your eyes). Not only that, but western society is going to become more secular as time goes by, and the chances of it becoming Islamic are slim to zero. If these things really are important to you you are going to have to think about moving to a Moslem country. I suggest that Saudi Arabia will put you closer to Mecca and Medina. At least you'll be able to find out at first hand whether or not living there is an improvement. Be sure and let us know, won't you?
Not trying to be funny or anything. It's just that your mistake was constant throughout this thread.Last edited by *Hakz*; 20-04-2011 at 00:26.
