I have experienced security guards walking back and forth between the aisles staring at me in London and other parts of England, much more so than in the US. I am black, and the weird thing is that some of the security guards have been black and dark-skinned like me. I got tired of it, and now when it happens I wave to them and say hello. Sometimes, when I'm feeling especially brave and frustrated, and when they walk close to me, I ask them if they're watching me and tell them, 'Don't worry. I don't steal.' It's satisfying to see the embarrassed and uncomfortable looks on their faces.

Does criticism of Islam amount to racism? Why is it OK criticize communism, nazism and other supremacist ideologies, but as soon as you attach the word divine to the same ideas, then they're off limit? I am Iranian. I was born in a Muslim family. I have been educated in Islam and experienced Islamic, sharia based rule for most of my life. And I have the same concerns as this man. Islam is a brutal supremacist ideology that is incompatible with critical thought, personal freedoms, democracy, rule of law and pretty much everything else that we take for granted in the modern world, that came out of Western Enlightenment. Once muslims become the majority, they will do the same thing as they have done everywhere else where they've taken control. Look at what they're doing in England and France in Majority Muslim areas. Look around the world today and see what Islam leads to. You will put your head in the sand at your own peril. I left my home in my own beautiful and ancient country. I will not do it again in my new home...

If things are not controlled at this point then a day will come that even the queen of England would be asked to follow sheria law and even she will not be able to do anything.

What the fuck is going on England??? You better get a handle on this type of thing. You are losing your identity and culture. Its time to stop being politically correct time to FIGHT BACK.

Their is no such thing as a Muslim area.! This is England.

it's so sad and pathetic.... I feel sorry fory you England!! Living in your country, and hearing things like - go away!! you cannot be here!! shame...

There is no such thing as a Muslim area in England. Go live in a Muslim country if you want Sharia so much.
