    Arrogance... don't complain about arrogance. The British are the most apathetic and whiny country on the planet. I've been to your country twice and every time I have been treated to the wonderful American hospitality. If there is one thing you do not lack it is arrogance and pride.
    We have cause, and we don't try to tell you your political business. Each election cycle the British press has as many stories about our elections as you do your own. I could care less what you people do, I expect the same from you.

    Not so much for those who have to pay for it.

    Syph, if Muslim schools are excluded; then it isn't exactly what we'd call mandatory. My German colleagues often tell me they speak the King's English not American. To them mandatory means you must.

    One of the reasons the US is saturated with doctors is they, at the moment, are not told what they can charge and how much. Medical care isn't restricted like in the UK.

    You took what I posted out of context. Certainly, you're more intelligent than to take what I posted any way than what I intended.... Or are you? Would you like me to rephrase what I posted so you can understand? Perhaps you posted your reply because you did understand and don't have an answer.

    Thankfully, the UK did realize their imperialism over the colonies were illegal. Unfortunately, it took lives on both sides for the colonists to kick the imperialist Brits out of our Country.

Much longer will the British people tolerate having their laws and their multicultural awareness against them before they have a war between the native Brits and the Muslims who decided they should rule? Certainly, you have noticed the protests from the Muslims who decided they had their religious beliefs oppressed.

    You don't have much in the way of reading retention, do you? I never said it was about taxes, did I? I said he enjoys the freedoms that he didn't have back home.

    You really need a reading comprehension class before you start your medical classes. Your reply has nothing to do with what I wrote, not once, but several times. I fear for your clients lives! Maybe that's one reason your countrymen are leaving.

    Study in depth how the Muslims came to be in the regions they're in now. Over-simplified, if they couldn't take a region over by war, they would populate the region and take it over by becoming the majority. This is not something they would do in a year, a decade or two. They sometimes take over a hundred years. Sometimes they would try force several times to take over a region. Sometimes they don't try force. They simply populate. Either way, they expand enough to take over the countries I mentioned.

    You say the Muslims are persecuted. Who is persecuting them?
    If I weren't supposed to shoot guns, why did God give me trigger fingers?

    There's a point in your life when you get tired of trying to fix everything and trying to make everyone happy. When you finally decide to quit, it's NOT giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people and the bullshit they bring to your life.

    Paying for what the country uses with income taxes seems a fair and progressive way to spread the healthcare bill.

    All private schools are excluded because they are not government property. I'll revise that statement:

    A holocaust awareness week is mandatory in all state schools.

    No, I find Saudi/muslim education abhorrent. It has been recently exposed in a Panorama programme for the disgusting mockery of education it is.

    However, it is still being funded and of the freedoms we have in this country, parents of pupils at the school are allowed to pay for these schools to exist. As long as the money keeps rolling in, the schools stay open.

    It would be a very British reaction to close them down and the Conservative government don't want that. It wants to Americanise the UK in terms of liberty but maintain the NHS and state education.

    I take this point, but the Conservatives are cutting out bureaucracy starting next year.

    The muslims are 3% of the population and only concentrated enough to try at take seats near Bradford. That is where the reactionary BNP Nazis are springing up, wanting to deport or execute all the muslims in the UK.

They'll use the laws to their advantage.
    There is only one country in Europe that is a muslim majority and that was Bosnia. The Serbs committed genocide against the muslim Bosnians in the 1990's. Bosnia became muslim in 1463 when they were invaded by the Ottoman empire. You are completely wrong.

    You have been reading way to many books on this subject. A quick search reveals that there are 47 muslim majority countries and all of them are in Arabia, Africa, Bosnia and Indonesia.

    All of these territories have been muslim majorities for hundreds of years. Most of Africa and Arabia have been muslim since Muhammad rode across the Sahara wielding a scimitar and leading an army.

    This population bullshit sounds like something Konspiracy Krupski (Sorry...) would come up with.

    I also find our own brand of religious indoctrination prettied up as "education" an affront to reason. (In the states we have "creationism" being taught as both science and history...)

    However, if you find their beliefs so abhorrent, then why are you defending them on this board?
