Many, I would guess the majority, are vehemently opposed to Islam becoming dominant in this country.
Yes because there is such a huge risk of that with their 5%!!!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_...

It's noticeable that even breitbart think the bad is a bad idea that won't achieve anything!

I think the ban is a stupid, horrible, petty idea that criminalises people who choose to wear a long swimsuit.
It's a petty law, but if people choose to wear a long swimsuit they do so in the knowledge they are deliberately breaking the law. If they're criminalised it's their own fault. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/08/25/worst-t...

Have you heard?Laws can change!
Sometimes a little civil disobedience can help with that change.
Rosa Parks knew she was breaking the law too.

I'm a liberal but I'm afraid I agree with Sam Harris who says the 'Liberal elite' have let us down on the issue of immigration and our relationship with the Muslim world.
We're in danger of Liberalising ourselves out of existence eventually.
That's just ridiculous hyperbole.We're in danger of Liberalising ourselves out of existence eventually.
1. A boat load of immigration was owing to the EU rules. Brexit is solving that.
2. This data shows that 19% of the non-UK born population in the UK are Muslim.
http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/dcp171776_407038.pdf
So at THE VERY WORSE we would see the 5% muslim population growing to 19%.
Now don't forget that we have just 300k-ish net migration a year. 0.5% of the population.
So at that rate in 100 years the population will be 9% muslim up from 5%.
HOW UTTERLY TERRIFYING!!

In the 2011 census, which is already out of date, and represented a near three fold increase from 1991.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_...
That same 2011 census showed the Muslim proportion of the under 5s to be 10%.

So in 20 years it went from 2-ish percent to 5%.That same 2011 census showed the Muslim proportion of the under 5s to be 10%.
Seems about right then that in 4x 20 you'll get to 10% as backed up by that under 5s figure and my above math.

That increase is far greater than 5% & for some districts within those areas, the % will be even higher.
Of course, if that doesn't affect you at all, the it's fine by you

If birth rates fall toward the average over time then yes natural growth would suggest a figure of 10% of the population eventually.Seems about right then that in 4x 20 you'll get to 10% as backed up by that under 5s figure and my above math.
If however we combine continuing mass migration with higher birthrates then we would be talking a considerably higher proportion of the population by 2100, and we were never consulted on this.
Blair never said "how would you fancy becoming the new Lebanon". It was all accomplished by a quiet relaxation of complex immigration rules.
10% of the population seems to have become a problem level for the French as if you are talking a small minority drawn to violent extremism that needs to be monitored then that small minority doubles when you go from 5% to 10% of the population, other things remaining equal.
