"Libertyphile says British muslims are the most patriotic in Europe"
ReplyDeleteI think actually he’s arguing the opposite, he says:
"It is abundantly clear to anyone who has their eyes open, reads the press or watches TV, that there are a lot of Muslims, a very large number, one in five, or one in four, or one in three, who live in Britain who do not wish to be British, except to the extent that it provides a safe place to live and has a good public health service, and who are doing all they can to recreate the societies of their forebears or homelands and propagate beliefs and practices alien to Britain."
Ironically having criticised the original report for its lack of proper sampling and data collection, he supplies no statistical evidence to back those (“one in five, or one in four, or one in three”) figures up.
I did want to post this observatiob on his own blog, but for whatever reason, he doesn't allow comments.
