Speaking as a white man I have to admit I don't quite understand the need for anyone to organize as a race in Canada. First generation clubs from whatever country, sure, but as a race? Is it the elephant in the room... American slavery?  I can't help but think that most perceived problems blacks have in Canada are due to American issues we see in movies and media.\nWe in Canada bend over backwards to offer opportunity to succeed. Even touching on racism is widely and loudly crushed. I personally, as do most, give any individual the opportunities they deserve but it's up to them to screw it up or not. To me, if any minority can't make it in this society they aren't trying.\nIt's actually worse in my mind to be white male in public forums because our views and opinions are marginalized and shouted down. Youtube and the internet are the few forums where honest feelings and opinions can be spoken. No one with anything to lose would say this in public for fear of attacks from the thought police. Pretty sad we live in a free country that actually doesn't allow free speech from all. I guess some are more free than others.\nKeep telling me I'm unfair and bad, when I'm not and I might actually grow resentment and the very prejudice you're complaining about.

British society in itself is a little too hypocratically inwards looking and soft to handle these kinds of problems.\n\nWhat I see is a European civil war, which would certainly be won by the natives, as these minorities have no representation in the police, army or civil services.\n\nBut the economy would take a beat and europe would if not for ever ..would loose its place in the global society. Countries like China Brazil India Russia and RSA would benefit a lot from them.

do you think muslim dislike alcohol so much is because, arabs in general don't have much control as it is( Genesis 16:12 ) and the quran is so carnally minded \n(6 year old wives/72 virgins/ext.),\nthat when you mix them 2 factors together then add alcohol.\nit's pretty much produces the trifecta of a reprobate?\nI think it's good muslims don't drink, they have enough problems to deal with already.\nbut I don't see God fearing folks drinking in moderation as a problem, Jesus drank wine at a marriage\n

I totally agree it was wrong to go to Afganistan and Iraq and it was disgusting to see the atrocities committed on innocent people by the soldiers out there and I know that not all muslims are bad, I don't hate muslims simply because they are muslims, I don't want anyone to die either, I wish there could be peace, but it's something in Islam that has to evolve to stop so many using their religion as an excuse to go out and kill because clearly there is a problem there

i see the reality and i dont say youre wrong with what you see. but you dont ask yourself why. you only see black and white. its much more complicated. ask them whats their problem! they where born like you. maybe it has something to do with wealth and education? maybe this has been refused to the ppl you see? maybe its even more to it? or are you saying every single muslim is like the picture you described? or is every french guy a good person? divide at impera.

It is a serious problem, it has nothing to do with what you say. But yes Islamic streetss, i.e. streets where there is a mosque on it, just in Muslim areas. The solution is to enforce sharia law, we will see crime rates FALL. And we will no longer be a disrespectful nation!!!!\n\nPeace

Yeah see, exactly my point. It wasn't your choice. For all the problems of Bangladesh, you would be better off there. Wealth doesn't equal happiness.\n\nNote that my views formed WHILE I was in the UK - specifically after 16 as there was no sixth form locally and I had to go to the city to study. I'm sure you wouldn't like it either if Bangladesh started being overrun by people of other cultures (note that religion heavily integrates with culture, but culture is a problem too, as is race).

I agree with this! See, their is middle ground!!! Of course, I can not stop you from drinking, but you should not walk into a mosque with such things and try not to be loud/disruptive around mosques (or any other places of worship) after your done drinking. Most Muslims are like myself, but no one looks. No one looks at the Muslims doing the little good deeds that make a difference (Clothinghomeless, helping teachers, feeding orphans) the focus is always on some fringe group that causes problems
