Tolerance...

From a British perspective: This was a reader's 'letter to the editor ' published in the daily " SUN" on Sunday.

Tolerance .. I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in London on the Thames ? I think it should be the goal of every Englishman to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot."

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs."
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered."

All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved. If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think this is a good plan, please publish my letter.
 
I agree.

Ill as that it must be shut being moderate Muslim these days as you're discriminated against regardless.

I wish people ignore the radical ****s that make all Muslims look bad
 
In Paris, they have mosques basically next door to strip clubs and sex shops. They seem to get along just fine.
 
So long as no radicals attend they can have their mosques just as we have churches. No problem for me.

I wasn't offended or suprised, just felt it important to highlight that there is an us and them mentality amongst some. I suppose you were trying to do the whole intelligent and witty response thing, shame really.

I think there is a 'them and us' feeling from both sides here.

I believe (personal opinion with a small amount of experiance via work colleagues) that much of it stems from a lack of willingness to integrate into the existing community. Much in the same way that ex-pats will form cliques in Spain or Australia. Not a good thing IMO and not really conducive to breaking down 'them and us' barriers.

Absolutely, integration and living in harmony is so important. Living in Luton there are so many issues. I am a practising muslim, I look the part too, beard an all and I live in one of the nicer areas of Luton. 25 years ago it was mainly white with the odd asian family. For whatever reason the majority of white people have moved away from this area and it is almost exclusively asian now. Why? I have no idea, honestly. My children now grow up without much integration and my son has zero white children in his class at school, this concerns me. Is it because of the asians ghetto mentality that this is now such a ghetto? I think there is more to it and maybe both sides are suffering from a lack of desire to integrate.

With regards to barriers, I will tell you a true story. Last time I watched Spurs last year I was racially abused by a Spurs fan as I walked to the ground, funnily enough I was with white friends and when the abuser realised that I was a Spurs fan he freaked. I haven't been back since because I will probably end up lamping the next taco who gives me crap like that unprovoked and I wont change the way I look because of a few idiots. Key here is that I see my white mates a lot less now as I don't go to football anymore. My point is that a minority of muslims damage integration and harmony and a minority of non-muslims do too. It is a two way story.
 
That is so offending in so many ways and not 'oh so clever' because of the wordplay. Surprise surprise it's from a Sun reader and posted from one of our more politically/religiously clued up posters.

The most offensive part is the beginning. "A British perspective"...

Obviously Muslims are not British. Tell that to someone like Mo Farrah...

Do you think it might be because loads of Asians moved in and the whites felt gradually more and more like a minority and wanted to get away?
 
It's a stupid letter. How incredibly immature. What annoys me about these types of testers and most racism arguments is how common sense and decency goes out the window. We know what's right and what's wrong.
