Nowhere near as prevalent as gun crime in the states.

HTH.

That was not my question, nor was it my intent to prod or insult the U.K. I asked a simple question....are these things an increasing occurence in the U.K. or a rarity? Is there anyone here of consequence besides ass-clowns giving obvious and elementary retorts?

OK, serious answer - 12 a year according to the Beeb.

No big deal, just the usual anti-muslim crsade from certain areas of the press.

It's by no means the first reported offence taking place Jim, and it sure as hell won't be the last.

Unfortuently, many of these will go un-reported to the police.

Civilised people eh?
Sorry to hear that. I see it as a trade off between law enforcement and appeasement in the name of multicuturalism.

Not that common, what they usually do is say hey daughter we have all chipped in for you to have a holiday in pakistan...

Enjoy yourself.

What you find happen in the uk is the mad fecker who goes nuts which is probably the same as the mad feck in the US.. What does not get reported in both countries is the girl who fancies the white lad down the road who gets a free holiday.

Are you saying it's ok for it happen as it is religious or that it doesn't happen.

very true, my friends girlfriend disappeared under similar circumstances. Her parents found out she was seeing a white guy, following week she was going to "visit family" in Pakistan and never came back.

I think part of the problem is the older generation as for them , they still have the rules and beliefs of their parents (although I believe they should adapt, when in Rome etc) so as the older generations die off, I think it'll become less of a issue smile


P.S I think we have more gun and knife crimei n the UK now than in the US laugh

All nut jobs the lot of them, the same idiocy which lets them execute women in Iraq for buying "phallic" cucumbers, or killing ewes because they walked with their tails up showing their privates. Or forbidding ice-cream because it didn't exist when Mohammed was alive....

and the same idiocy which prevailed/prevails under the catholic church, burning non-believers or torturing them to death because they refused to kiss the popes arse, or telling Africans that the Aids virus cannot be stopped by condoms!!

and the same idiocy which exists in some US southern states extremist "churches" (I use the word loosely) who want to provoke a war between Israel and the Arabs to start the end time!!!!
