Yes, I've heard of Birmingham. It's a city in England, no?

I even remember reading in the newspaper 15 years ago that the English in the University of Birmingham were prevented from entering the library by the Muslims, because it was a center of reunion for Muslims.

There is a large islamic community in London. But I don't know it will ever become a majority. Right now because of certain world events if you want to be rebelious you become muslim, its trend when ever something gets a lot of bad press you have people wanting to do it simply to prove how on the fring they are.

And that is what saddens me.
The fact that the small man cannot do anything to change or improve his/her country.

In the old days we could start a war or something, nowadays it's barbaric and non europaean. So the best way to act is to pray to someone or something and hope things will get better. It sucks but I don't see the other way. Muslims are coming and nobody's doing nothing... And if those muslims were like pre-war bosnian ones, that would be OK but now they are getting violent and radical. Terrorists.

Yes. Unfortunately, the "man" is at the top and we are at the botom.
But the "man" cant fight the entire bottom by himself. The propaganda is against us. I think the most we can do for now is spread awareness and doing it in a clean manner. That means with no radical or racial comments included.
"fighting" them is just pointless for the media will side with the foreigners no matter how badly we get our asses kicked.

I see that you don't follow the news on demographic data, trends and forecast. They tell the exact opposite story, and in my opinion they still fall short of telling it all.

Unfortunately, for nationalism (which also gets some bad press) it doesn't seem to be the case, at least in our time.

My art teacher (aged around 77-78) used to live in Bradford...

Ah, yes. It was Bradford that is the foremost Muslim town in England, not Birmingham.
