The people are great and the scenery is fantastic. If you want to visit an Arab city, go to London. At least it is a little safer than Cairo today.
Actually Britain has very few Arabs and that includes London. The majority of Arabs in England seem to be from Egypt or Lebanon and as such would be a lot more assimilated and "westernised" than the people you seem to loathe and fear so much.

I think what you mean is Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi people who are NOT Arabs. Arabs come from North Africa, and The Near East. Speaking Arabic does not an Arab make. Being darker does not an Arab make.

France has a lot more Arabs because historically the French Empire took in the most Arab countries thus immigration to France was logical.

Try to be a little less ignorant. London an Arab city ?!? Grow up.

Edgeware road seems to be the largest Arab area in London, most of the Arab people in London are running perfectly normal successful businesses and many of those very same Arabs you mention are multimillionaires .

There are almost 200,000 Americans living in the UK ( 500,000 Arabs for the whole of the UK I think) . Does that make the UK American ?

70% of London is WHITE. The largest Ethnic minority is Indian , Pakistani only make 2%. Exactly how over-run are we with Arabs ?!?

45,000 Americans in London versus 66,000 Pakistani in London. I think you are obviously catching up those darn "Arabs" and will soon become the problem wouldn't you ?

Hmmm ... not sure the Brits want a bunch of gun-totting, bible-thumping, obese rednecks taking over their towns



And in case you were wondering, that is a not uncommon stereotype of Americans that some British people have.

Two countries overrun by Westernphobic Islamists, now realize their countries are in danger of losing their culture and European identity if they continue to allow third-world barbarians to immigrate into their countries and refuse to assimilate. France has joined Great Britain-

Multiculturalism has failed, says French president (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110210/wl_afp/francepoliticsimmigrationsociety - broken link)
French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Thursday that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.

"My answer is clearly yes, it is a failure," he said in a television interview when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.

"Of course we must all respect differences, but we do not want... a society where communities coexist side by side.

"If you come to France, you accept to melt into a single community, which is the national community, and if you do not want to accept that, you cannot be welcome in France," the right-wing president said.

You can't compare the British multiculturalism and the American multiculturalism.The American's one is clearly a success

Wait! I thought conservatives hated France? Remember "Freedom Fries"? So now we're back to wanting French Fries AND importing SOCIALIST French values like big government telling us how US citizens can live or worship?

That's a pretty epic flip-flop right there.

Of course it has, you can't take in millions of primitive 3rd worlders and integrate them into a civilized first world society, it is impossible, most of them don't want to and won't integrate. I predict this idiotic policy (if it is not reversed in some way) will result in an series of civil wars in nations like the UK, France, the Netherlands, etc. in 4-5 decades time.

I have family in Germany and when my cousin visited us, it seemed she had negative views on "multiculturalism" in Germany, particularly all of the Muslims.

It would work if people of different cultures come with the intent of blending with other cultures. It will not work if people migrate for the purpose of imposing their culture on others.

We should listen.

I believe he's right. We have made the same mistake. We have become a society of feel gooders who, on the surface, wants to make everybody happy. In reality, we have lost what we held most dear; unity as a whole, brought together under the words: "One nation, under God".

People used to come here wanting to be American. For a while now, people come here wanting to be Mexican, Chinese, or whatever, in America. That's not what diversity is. It's acknowedging and celebrating differences, but as a whole, we should still be one and we're not.

People don't want to be American anymore. They just want to live here.

What do you all think?
I think he's talking about the UK. We are the USA. The UK doesn't have the same history as the USA. The USA is a nation of immigrants and always will be.

Do some research on Dearborn, Michigan. These immigrants seek to mold the commumity to their beliefs.
