I don't know about anyone else but I didn't know that once a religion has a certain amount of followers in a country it can become a state religon receiving state subsidies. Do people really want such a religion becoming a state religion in Britain? Or is it already a state registered religion in Britain - I have no idea.

But as long as state and religion aren't separate then at least it should be fair and Islam treated like any other major religion, isn't it just about representing the people that live here?

I'm not going to get overly upset about religions not having rights tbqh, especially one that treats women like second class citizens

I'm in favour of equality so in that sense, I think it should be, if other religions are. I don't buy into the rhetoric than one religion is any "worse" than any other religion.
However, I do personally believe that religion and politics should be completely separate, and to go a step further, I would rather that people wake up to the con of organised religion full stop. |

No no and no. No religion that has the concept of violence at it's core, or that advocates death to anyone who wants to leave that religion, to gays and basically anyone who doesn't have the same mind set, is anethma to any civilised society.
I'm speaking of islam now and if islam becomes a state religion, then sharia law will be an accepted part of our society and I refuse to accept any laws that has an 'etiquette of beating women'. A policy that sees nothing wrong in marriage and sexual relations with under age females and a mind set that is medieval and has no place in western society. |

With regards to the BIB in the first paragraph as a woman I think that's a silly thing to say when you look at how women are treated in some religions although that probably has more to do with culture than the actual religion I think

I'm not too fussed about it either really, I just think that fairness should be applied to things like this. If we have freedom of religion and people choose to follow it. And I think generally that integration is one of the best ways of phasing out out-dated views like treating women as second class citizens, it's not something that's a core aspect of Islam as far as I know, and I think generally that over time most people adapt to the society they're a part of over what religious text they follow, it's the more instinctive thing to do.

I was brought up a Christian while Britain was a Christian country but now that is all about gone I am loathe to want another religious following in Britian. While Christianity is dying out Islam religion is expanding, if my religion is going to be gone I don't want another religion taking over. It seems some people of Britain think we should celebrate Islam yet not Christianity, whats that about?

And this category is spread across all religious traditions. Plenty of ex-Muslim nonreligious people as well as ex-Christian. |

It just bewilders me that people are so busy looking to the middle east in absolute horror thinking that an influx of "strange cultures" from thousands of miles away are going to "change our way of life", and our media is so busy reporting on just that, that the very real, current and threatening revival of European fascism much closer to home is going almost completely un-noticed. Subtly in countries like ours (including Ireland and Scotland, sadly) but also quite openly and obviously in Eastern Europe. People are just ignoring it. The "never again" mantra from WWII has been proven to be almost hilarious levels of hot air. No one seems to give a **** that it's happening again. |

Britain is still seen as a Christian country.
A study by Pew Research that was done in 2010 which also predicted percentages in 2050 looked like this: Christians: 2010: 64%, 2050: 45% Muslims: 2010: 5%, 2050: 11% Hindus: 2010: 1.4%, 2050: 2% Jews: 2010: 0.5%, 2050: 0.3% Buddhists: 2010: 0.4%, 2050: 0.9% Folk religions: 2010: 0.1%, 2050: 0.3% No religion: 2010: 28%, 2050: 39%

Muslims are guilty of carrying out more FGM than any other religion but along the African continent, Christians also carry out this practice along with none religious tribes who see it as tradition; so if we want to fight such barbarities we can't just concentrate on Muslim populations.

You do realise this is not the UK?....
'Islamization starts with a kebab' :/ 'According to the last census, Islam has some 2,000 followers in Slovakia, Reuters reported, adding that there are no recognized mosques in the central European country. ' pointless and reactionary.
