Re: # 225

I try not reading posts of this sort as it simply repeats the assured prediction of muslims (including pakistani paindoos) around God`s Globe.


Wherever there was room for immigration, paindoes certainly have filled it all, creating a general ID in europe/america with their characters for the rest. And yes, Indians do seem to be supported and have succeeded in many intern/national areas; shall we give up in light of prediction knowing that nothing will work or keeping the hopes up could result in a thumbs up?!?!!?!

God`s playing with them too -I hope you agree :)

Ref behram1 #259

[My fealty towards Pakistan is because the muslims of Pakistan have never mistreated me, unlike the hindoos who have burnt 2000 muslims in Gujarat.]

Have Hindus in India mistreated Indian Parsis?

[And that is what you hindoo Pakistan haters can never understand.]

Yep, we can`t understand it because we fail to see any logic there.

Thanks for the link. You have identified the Aisha Azim phenomenon as follows:

She is one of a new generation of young veiled Muslim women who are the complete opposite of the expected stereotype of a meek, shy and submissive Muslim female who ventures out rarely. These women are arrogant, hostile and out to deliberately shock and provoke. Their behaviour is calculated to antagonise and draw some sort of a reaction from those around them. This is a group that has developed a pathological hatred for the very society in which they’ve been raised.

Any reasons why it has turned out to be so, and that too particularly in Britain? This sounds like the suffragettes. Shall appreciate your valuable comments.

I think this topic is now too old for Chowk to publish anymore articles about it. Here is mine which didn`t get submitted on time:

harish--my particulars may have been wrong (sorry!) but the underlying PRINCIPLE remains valid: you cannot judge a whole community on the actions of a few.

nasah: probably but can`t give you hard facts. i`d say it is likely in places which have large muslim minorities or majorities such as certain districts of manchester, bradford, birmingham and london.

a lot of these illnesses are linked to poverty --and muslims (mostly indo-paki-banglos) tend to be amongst the poorest living in poor housing.

just recently a hindu in canada went into a school and killed some school kids before killing himself. he wasn`t a freshie either but a citizen who`d grown up there. can i take him as an example and say, see hindus in canada aren`t integrated?

Yaar Naqshi, two things here:

1. Kimveer Gill, the guy who was the perpetrator of the school killings was a Sikh, and a non-religious one at that.

2. He didn`t quote religious/cultural reasons as the motivation behind his crime.

You might want to revisit your post in light of these facts.

Naqsh is this true for the Muslim women in England?

``Asian women in Greater Manchester have been warned that their lifestyle could lead to crippling disabilities in later life.

Medical tests on women in Tameside and Rochdale revealed serious deficiencies in vitamin D which is essential to maintain healthy bones in later life. Blood samples taken from the women revealed that one-in-four had a severe deficiency and 90 per cent had inadequate levels of vitamin D.

Scientists who conducted the survey say it is highly likely that these results would be repeated throughout the entire south Asian female population of Greater Manchester.

Vitamin D deficiency leads to brittle bones. Later in life women with the condition suffer from severe aches and pains in the joints. Multiple fractures are also common. Another danger is rickets - severely bowed legs, a result of the bones being unable to carry bodyweight. Even more sinister, mothers who have a vitamin D deficiency, can pass the condition on to their children through breast milk.

The deficiency is all the more tragic since it is easy and cheap to overcome - more sunlight and a change of diet is all that is needed. ``The trouble is many Asian women are receiving a double whammy. Because of traditional lifestyles and dress they do not get enough sunlight which is the main source of vitamin D. Oily fish and foods like margarine are also source of vitamin D but you have to eat great quantities of these to make up for the lack of sunlight. ``

In countries like Bangladesh, India and Pakistan the sunlight is almost year round but of course its a different matter in the UK. But even 10 to 15 minutes exposure a day to sunlight in our summer would be enough.

``In the west, rickets used to be a disease of the poor. Today it has been almost eradicated among the white population but is not uncommon among UK south Asians.``

here is another example of the same wake-up call to the europeans resulting from the paindoo behavior pakistani immigrants to the UK: For Multiculturalist Britain, Uncomfortable New Clothes

excerpt:

For 40 years, Britain has nurtured a policy of multiculturalism celebrating ethnic diversity and its emblems. That policy evolved in the 1960’s, at a time when Muslim immigrants, largely from Pakistan, arrived to take menial jobs. Now, Britons are confronted with the sometimes alienated descendants of that first generation — like three of the four London ers last year — people born in the country, raised in its schools and newly drawn to a re-examination of their ancestors’ faith.

``Sweden`s Muslim minister turns on veil
Helena Frith Powell

THE latest media darling of Scandinavian politics is not only black, beautiful and Muslim; she is also firmly against the wearing of the veil.

Nyamko Sabuni, 37, has caused a storm as Sweden’s new integration and equality minister by arguing that all girls should be checked for evidence of female circumcision; arranged marriages should be criminalised; religious schools should receive no state funding; and immigrants should learn Swedish and find a job.

Supporters of the centre-right government that came to power last month believe that her bold rejection of cultural diversity may make her a force for change across Europe. Her critics are calling her a hardliner and even an Islamophobe.

“I am neither,” she said in an interview. “My aim is to integrate immigrants. One is to ensure they grow up just as any other child in Sweden would.”

Sabuni believes all immigrants must try to become proficient in Swedish — just as she did when she arrived from Africa aged 12 — rather than alienating locals.

“Language and jobs are the two most crucial things for integration,” she said. “If you want to become a Swedish citizen, we think you should have some basic knowledge of Swedish.”

An elegant, vivacious woman who uses subtle make-up and wears soft clothes in pastel shades and tight woollen sweaters, she argues for a total ban on veils being worn by girls under the age of consent, which is 15 in Sweden.``

The only fly in the ointment -- the lady is a rightwinger -- well if the right delivers so what -- so far the left has not.
