Muslim Nut Job

[retrocop]

This rabid Muslim thinks the Caliphate is here and we are no longer a white Country (in England?).
Who says they are not taking over?

[Peter Pedant]

I read the article and I thought it was OK
Man canvassing

East London is a hotbed at far as immigration goes.
they got rid of Lutfer Rahman thank heavens because of vote rigging.

Thoroughly nasty attack, glad he's on camera to be shown up.

[emmie]

i am afraid that London has become the dumping ground of the world.

[Peter Pedant]

when I was er retaking Maff A level
I had to go to College
and some suitably garbed young thing said to another letter box or someone as I passed,
'you call me terroristen?'
and that apparently is grounds to exclude from a school ......
ooer mrs ! time ticks on and we hardly notice it

The irony is that there is another thread today discussing Islamophobia in the Tory party. Here we have a Tory Muslim candidate told to “eff off to a White Country” in the East End of London by a fellow Muslim. No Racism here in our Caliphate of Ilford. :-)

Hee hee...as I look at this thread, there is an ad across the top of the page for a package deal to Mecca...1275pp.

The majority of the population in The London Borough of Redbridge (in which Ilford sits) are non-white.

In one ward of Ilford (Clementswood) less than 10% of the population identify as "White British" whilst almost 70% are Asian. In Goodmayes (where this incident occurred) less than 15% of the population is White British. These areas are described as "ethnically diverse". I can't help thinking that if an area contained 70% White British people and less than 10% Asians it would not be so described.

The mayor of Redbridge is Councillor Zulfiqar Hussain. Of the 63 councillors, 36 are Asian so I don't think it is an exaggeration to suggest that Redbridge - and particularly parts of Ilford - already are predominantly non-white areas with a high percentage of residents of Asian extraction.

If you want to see what it's like there in this respect, take a stroll down East Ham High Street (towards the western edge of Redbridge). There are thirteen mosques or "Islamic Centres" in Ilford and six of them are on East Ham High Street. Go on a Friday afternoon around 3pm when "Friday Prayers" have just chucked out.

If this individual is indeed a 'Nut Job' as you put it, that hardly makes him representative of Muslims as a whole - does it?

As per NJ’s post, in times past Redbridge, Goodmayes, Ilford, were affluent areas - the sort of places one aspired to. As for East Ham High Street … don’t even go there …. literally.

[fender62]

are there any nice asian areas, serious question or does it all go down hill, and if so why.

[Mamyalynne]

I can only speak for my home Town and there are Asians in every area from wealthy individually designed properties to detached and large semis and rows of terraced too.

Some Asian stores have an outdoor market feel to them but the produce is wide ranging and interesting and fairly priced. There are also some very swanky outlets too, from fashion to jewellery and more.

Other businesses also, varied.

Fender at 00.19, I’ve yet to discover an area that’s been improved by their presence.

[emmie]

our area, or parts of it look so down at heel and alien that you wouldn't know you were in UK, let alone the capital.

[fender62]

emmie, do you think there trying to mirror there country of origin, or they just dont care.
