Gang fight in Blackhill last night

A 21-year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital after a fight involving about 20 men and women armed with baseball bats and shovels.

there is plenty examples of asian on white and white on asian violence in the uk, maybe its not a race thing maybe its just a violent society thing, but it does appear to be an 'us and them' type of situation with white and asian youths, and some of the storys you read in the paper are truly shoking

I can't believe Europeans still make excuses for the Islamicization of their countries in the name of not trying to sound racist.

It's called "Islamification" VTHokieFan, and I would worry about your own country if I were you, you have a lot to worry about.

Sharia Law is already being imposed in Britain:

I wouldn't want to be a Muslim woman persuaded to accept lesser human rights than my non-Muslim counterpart. There are also Jewish courts imposing religious judgements. So much for everyone being equal in the eyes of the law.

My one quibble with the bolded part of your post is that it implies the the UK has adopted Sharia as the law of the land - just look at the misguided posts from typical half educated people (cough Americans cough cough) who believe just that - and that it is being applied to all residents.

The article you quoted does though bring up a good point about people, usually women in some communities who are pressured to accept the rulings of the religious courts in family matters which offer far fewer rights than the regular British courts.
Just to be clear though that Muslims are free to apply to the British courts for their full legal rights if they choose.

nope, I live in the American south. If you want to convince me that the UK is a relatively dangerous country, then you could start by comparing it to the poor and ghetto areas of the United States -- to say nothing of Africa or the third world. Otherwise, a few links ain't gonna cut it.

Sorry. Islamification yielded no results in the American dictionary. And I will worry. Everytime Europe screws up, guess who gets drafted to come bail you out and fight your battles

dont be stupid this is not about america, if im commenting on my country, its nothing to do with whats going on in your country, typical american, get of your high horse, the world has other issues than american ones, it doesn't matter that america is more violent, this is a british issue concerning british people, its a problem in britain, and just because its not as bad as the ghettos in america, doesn't mean its not a problem
