What way are things going?

The fear generated by the media has really had an effect and many are literally terrified of everyone at the moment, it really sad.

It would never be allowed under the European Convention on Human Rights, neither under International Law, which our country subscribes to and is a part of the UN, and the people of Britain would never stand for it.

Huge amounts of Sharia Law is disgusting and I will oppose it in all its forms. But don't use it to demonise Muslims, the majority of muslims living in the UK do not support it either.

Fear, it's just irrational fear, in Christian Europe how likely is it that we will have sharia law?

Here is some info from the red cross for those who feel we'll be overun.

The number of people forced to flee their homes last year, across the world, was over 50 million – for the first time since the Second World War. People applying for asylum in developed countries reached a 22-year high. In fact, the figure pretty much doubled in just a year. This is shocking.

OK. IT’S JUST A SHAME THEY ALL COME HERE.
Here’s the thing: most asylum seekers don’t come to the UK.

Most (80 per cent) flee to a developing country, over their nearest border. That’s why countries like Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey host the most refugees. (Tellingly, three of these share a border with Syria.)

But sometimes those countries are too dangerous – so people travel further.

This doesn’t mean that we’re the ‘scapegoat’ in Europe, though. People are far more likely to claim asylum in Germany, Sweden, France or Italy.

In fact, there were 109,600 new asylum claims in Germany, in 2013: four-and-a-half times more than in the UK that year.

We actually host around 1 per cent of the world’s refugees – and they make up just 0.24 per cent of the UK population.

Although some papers use terms like “flooded”, “hordes” or “surge”, this is not the ‘invasion’ or ‘natural disaster’ that such words imply.

On top of that, the media tends to confuse asylum seekers and economic migrants. It lumps them all in together in a wider immigration debate. This isn’t helpful to anyone.

In fact, the amount of asylum seekers coming to the UK has fallen a lot since a spike in 2002.

Rather than fixate on the floodgates, we’re better off throwing a lifeline to the ones that do come here. That way, we can help them get on with their lives and contribute fully to society
