Did you miss the part in the article where the supreme court called it discriminatory?
Let's say, for example, that Muslims in the UK become a majority and then choose to have this law. They then start systematically voting to remove citizenship from non-Muslims.
Would this be allright with you?
It would, because tbh it's never going happen. Islam will never become the major religion of the west. Beside in the Magna Carta it says
FIRST, THAT WE HAVE GRANTED TO GOD, and by this present charter have confirmed for us and our heirs in perpetuity, that the English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired
This country is Christian. Though I am not one I still believe that this country should be run on the foundations Laid by the church.

Now, do you think that it would be allright for Muslims (or Anglicans) to vote that those who don't follow their religion get deported?

I don't think it would really matter. If this country was muslim majority there's certainly a chance an islamic state (Or at elast something approaching it) would probably end up being pushed through by any means necessary, including force of arms or more likely through government cowardice. Wether or not we have some constitution which prevents this is irrelevant, constitutions aren't a magic bullet.

I thought I already had. Some predict that with in the the next 20years we will have an Islamic government. While others think that within the next 20years the BNP will be in power. I side with the later. Particularly around were I live their is a good deal of BNP members (I know because I down loaded that list of people who are members). I think that (especially if there is a repeat of 7/7) that more and more people will vote for them. If this happens then there is no chance of an Islamic state.
To answer your question in one word- no.
I would not side with the Muslims (or Anglicans) in deporting people for their faiths (especially as I fall under neither category).

The perception of the "Muslim Problem in Europe" comes mostly from the actions of a bunch of extremists who, whilst not representative of the majority of Muslims, are oftentimes not differentiated sufficiently from them.
Whilst involving a small number of misguided individuals, this is NOT a problem that is imaginary. Muslim extremists did carry out terror attacks in London. When I was working in Amsterdam, a Moroccan Muslim DID stab and shoot an independent film maker because he felt that the man's films were critical of Islam. This didn't occur in a ghetto - it happened in a picturesque part of the city center.
Some cultural differences can easily be absorbed into the mainstream 'variances' that are simply viewed as part of life's rich tapestry. Other differences, however, are irreducible and cause the kind of talk that's been highlighted elsewhere in this thread. It is obvious that neither social group likes the image of itself that the other seems to hold.
For example, Westerners tend to react in amused surprise when Western Muslims claim to be oppressed. Eyebrows are raised and comparisons made to the Arab Muslim States - which seem not to permit the usual range of human rights or indeed ANY rights if you happen to have the bad luck to be born with female genitalia. We also recoil from tales that the Asian Muslim states have revived the practice of Suttee - burning alive of the wife with her dead husband.
The Muslim dresscode also causes isses. It seems insane to the Westerner that someone would dress in so distinctive a fashion as the Burqa and then be surprised that it causes them to be singled out. To the Western mind the Burqa screams a plea for isolationism - it states that the wearer does not want ANYTHING to do with the rest of society. "We are different. We are apart. We want nothing to do with you. We want you to know nothing about us, and we want to know nothing about you."
The majority of Muslims in the West seem to stand silent about issues like this - leaving the media space to be occupied by the extremists on both sides. The key to resolving this is greater communication between the moderates on both sides of the equation. Muslim Moderates have been inviting Westerners to get to know them better - believing that the tension is spawned by fear of the unknown. Greater communication will remove these barriers, it is thought, promoting greater understanding which will lead to harmony.
However, it is interesting that the influx of Buddhists has not caused the same sorts of problems.

Islam is an Abrahamic religion, with the sordid history that comes with it. In addition, if a vast majority of the Buddhists were living in a similar state of disenfranchised disaffectation like a good number of European Muslims seem to be, reports of Buddhists committing crimes would be no different statistically.

Yes. The Swiss were talking about nationality.
A swiss politician proposed a bill that said that communities could vote to decide whether an immigrant could become a naturalised citizen.
You said that the UK should do something similar.
But what if the UK was an Islamic nation? Do you think the UK should still do something similar? You said no. Because people should not be discriminated against because of their religion.
I have another question for you: Let's say the UK did as you suggested and passed this kind of law. Now the UKers get to vote on whether or not Abdul Mohammed Hussein gets to be a citizen. So they vote, and they decide not to let him in because he's a Muslim.
Now you said that people should not be discriminated against because of their religion, so this is wrong, according to you. But if we don't let the people vote the way they want to, that's also wrong.

If you wouldn't mind, please correct any of my misconceptions.
My comment stems from the fact that Buddhism was largely complementary, syncretic form of religion, whereas other God religions were "absolute" ideologies. I am not familiar with early Buddhist history though. 17th century Japanese Christian persecution for example, had less to do with Buddhism than it did with God worship.
I can't think of any extremely violent schisms between Buddhist sects, like it were between Sunni and Shia states.
Another modern-day example would be the basis of jihadist ideologies, where Muhammad's war years verses are incorrectly used to justify their war against non-believers. I don't think Buddhism has such text.

If the man is wanted in place's he might not get a fair trial, then that is his fault not the British Government's.

The government said (after WW2) that citizens from a particular African state could come here and claim citizenship( due to turmoil) . But the government had to stop this as there was such an influx from this African state and the British people became fearful they would be overrun. The government should not now allow people to enter as we are being overrun.

The BNP are quite obviously dedicated to an eradication of Islamic practice and thought from the UK. They blatantly characterise it as incompatible with their fucked-up notion of 'British culture' (read: 'White culture').
Their EU election campaign, for grief's sake, is called 'The New Battle For Britain - 1939, 2009', and features a Spitfire defending the plucky Brits from, as Nick Griffin calls it, "Europeanism", "totalitarianism" and "and alien way of doing things which is not our way".
But I have a friend, who has a friend who is in the BNP, and he thinks that if within a year to 18 months all immigrants (and their descendent's) who have not left will be forcedly thrown out.
Of course they would; a section of their support base, and staff, are neo-Nazis:
Young, Nazi and Proud
Mark [Collett, former chairman of the Young BNP, now the party's Director of Publicity] appears to have no university mates to congratulate him on his achievement but he is among friends later in the summer at Red, White and Blue, the BNP's annual rally.
Although the BNP has supposedly dropped its nazi associations, at Red White and Blue there is plenty of evidence of the opposite.
There are discreet symbols everywhere. For example, men in shirts numbered 88 - H is the eighth letter of the alphabet - HH is Heil Hitler.
Mark is explicit in his adoration of Nazi Germany when he thinks the camera is turned off. "I'd never say this on camera, the Jews have been thrown out of every country including England. It's not just persecution. There's no smoke without fire," he declares.
Modell's six months filming Collett's activities conclude with a September 11 demonstration outside the Finsbury Park Mosque in London, where the BNP are joined by the NF and the chanting gets nasty. "Burn, burn, burn that paki - ear-ly in the morning."

Of course they're Islamophobic. Virtually everyone in Britain is to a certain extent, though most will deny it. But they are against immigration as a whole, not just Muslims. They do have a problem with white immigration.
Read up- http://bnp.org.uk/policies-2/immigration/
As for your question, I don't no how long it is before someone stops being a descendent of an immigrant, but one of the BNP's main goals is to deport all who came after 1948. So I guess they consider it from then.
And to where will they deport the UK citizens?

The only "frightening ignorance" being shown is assuming that two Middle Eastern men acting suspiciously are automatically up to something, but not having that same view of two white men or two black men or two orange men. The two white men or two black men could be conspiring to rob or hijack the bus, an event that has a much greater likelihood than the two Arab men conspiring to blow the bus up.

We were never talking about a terrorist attack, champ. You asked me, hypothetically, if I saw two Middle Eastern men sitting across from me on a bus acting suspiciously, would I be suspicous? I said I would not be any more suspicious of two Middle Eastern men acting strangely than I would two white men or two black men. That is to say, I would be equally as suspicious that the two Middle Eastern men were planning on blowing up the bus as I would be that the two white men or the two black men were getting ready to rob me. Two men acting like they're getting ready to commit a crime are two men acting like they are getting ready to commit a crime. They're race is irrelevant. If the two black guys shoot me or the two white guys knife me or the two Arab guys blow me up, I'm just as dead.

Those granted asylum in the UK can simply go back to the countries they fled from, where they risk persecution, torture and death?
Since Cuba doesn't allow people who've lived outside the country for more than (I think it is) 11 months, how will the Cubans get back home? Or the Ethiopians who don't want to leave the UK, since Ethiopia won't accept forced returns?
Or those who have renounced their old citizenship... I guess any problems returning will just be their problem, right?
So well-established British citizens will be kicked out (like a girl born in Somalia who got to the UK when she was 8 years old and has lived in a functioning society for 20 years) because they once emigrated to the UK... What about their families? Their wives and children, especially the children born in the UK who have citizenship. What will happen to them?

Somewhat, although many events which have been subsumed into that shouldn't have been, or aren't particularly useful for your case. The anthrax attacks in America, for example, were not carried out by a Muslim. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto was likely for political reasons, not religious. Ditto with the Beslan school hostage taking. The list also includes 'plots' in which every person alleged to be involved was found innocent.
The very idea of some sort of global War on Terror, a righteous crusade by the democratic West against the evil Islamist conspiracy, is such nonsense as to be laughable. It conflates regional politics and issues, many exceedingly complex and only tangentially, if at all, related to religion, into a single vast war. It is, in short, entirely the wrong response, and should never have been considered.

Seriously? That's what you've got?
Those granted asylum in the UK can simply go back to the countries they fled from, where they risk persecution, torture and death?
Since Cuba doesn't allow people who've lived outside the country for more than (I think it is) 11 months, how will the Cubans get back home? Or the Ethiopians who don't want to leave the UK, since Ethiopia won't accept forced returns?
Or those who have renounced their old citizenship... I guess any problems returning will just be their problem, right?
So well-established British citizens will be kicked out (like a girl born in Somalia who got to the UK when she was 8 years old and has lived in a functioning society for 20 years) because they once emigrated to the UK... What about their families? Their wives and children, especially the children born in the UK who have citizenship. What will happen to them?
The idea of deporting all who came after 1948 is unworkable, and frankly, idiotic. As is the idea of completely stopping all immigration to the UK.
I don't think RoI gives a damn, and I don't think the British Nazional Party gives a damn either.

Your source is seriously flawed as it mixes up religiously motivated violence with culturally motivated violence, acts of war / armed resistance, and random criminal acts.

That you would do this to people who immigrated BEFORE such a hideous law would be hypothetically thought of or passed, and that you don't give a damn because they're not British, only to use as an ad hominem the notion that I, a Brazilian, don't care about the UK, shows precisely why is it that people compare you to Hitler.

Your source (linky (http://www.lookpic.com/files/IMG4.jpg)) says that we have a "slight preference" for our own race; based upon a rather strange test, I might add.
That 80% prejudice you cite is against elderly people, not those of the Islamic faith.

As to the whole 1948 deal, I presume it is no coincidence that the Windrush landed that same year, thus committing the BNP to removing all but a few black citizens from Britain.
It'd be much easier if they just came out and said they'd like Britain to be 'racially pure' or whatever terminology is fashionable among racist circles these days.
If you don't object to people moving into Britain post-1948, as long as they have British parents, why would you object to (a) those who were British citizens (i.e., those from the West Indies) yet arrived here in 1948+, and (b) those who, along with their parents, are British citizens, yet whose grandparents weren't?
All of this amounts to a confused, and rather bigoted, notion of nationality. Ultimately, it is a statement that those with a certain amount of pigment in their skin should be forcibly removed from their homes and deported.

The official inquiry into the 7 July London bombings will say the attack was planned on a shoestring budget from information on the internet, that there was no 'fifth-bomber' and no direct support from al-Qaeda, although two of the bombers had visited Pakistan.
The first forensic account of the atrocity that claimed the lives of 52 people, which will be published in the next few weeks, will say that attacks were the product of a 'simple and inexpensive' plot hatched by four British suicide bombers bent on martyrdom.
Far from being the work of an international terror network, as originally suspected, the attack was carried out by four men who had scoured terror sites on the internet. Their knapsack bombs cost only a few hundred pounds, according to the first completed draft of the government's definitive report into the blasts.

Both of whom you, presumably, have no qualms with seeing the back of?
And if they don't want to live were they live then move some where else, but not here.
It's far more than simply not wanting to live where they currently do; it's claiming a haven from those who would rape, torture and kill you and your family.

If, indeed, you want to enact a policy that would forcibly remove those immigrants arriving in Britain post-1948, i.e., mostly non-white immigrants, and further did not give two hoots that a friend and his/her family were going to be removed from their home and kicked out of the country... yes.
I know, but why come here? why not some where else?
Because the UK is, and has always been, a melting-pot of cultures and peoples from around the globe. It is, generally, a welcoming place for those who wish a better life. The story of Britain is a story of immigration.
Further, as a leading proponent of pushing democracy and freedom aroud the globe, one would think the UK would greet with open arms those fleeing from undemocratic, totalitarian regimes.
Why don't we take some of the republicans policies from the '30's? then we'd be alright.
No, we certainly wouldn't.
Have a look at the trading done in London; it being one of the world's economic centres. Remove all those companies with less than 100% white British staff, and the economy collapses.

This story repeats itself time and time again in British history; the peoples that now make up the British citizenry are from a long line of immigrants. It's an oft-used term, but Britain really is a mongrel nation.

All British jobs should first be given to British workers, and then to immigrants. they are stealing our jobs, there are 3mil unemployed brits and about the same number of immigrants working in this country. Why should British born people be unemployed why immigrants have jobs that could be theirs?
I've asked you to explain what would make one British, and why you would need generations to fulfill any criteria.
It's not so much about generations,being British certainly has nothing to do with that ridiculously easy test immigrants have to take to get in. If you go in to generations and shit like that, then what about the US or Australia, none of them are truly from there except for the abariginies and the native Americans.
[QUOTE]I've asked you if you're OK with being an acessory to torture, rape and murder, and why - and why you would be OK with that but upset that someone on your block doesn't have a job.
