Hate to be that guy but when you're leaving a place the word is "emigrating"

Calling Muslims immigrants whether they're leaving or going is the kind of thing that feeds into a racialised concept of the word immigrant.

It also completely ignored their current status. They could be citizens, first gen migrants, anything.

Useless data used for narrative

This doesn’t address the economical factor, im pretty sure half of the uk, muslim or not are considering immigrating,

High cost of living, stagnant wages, housing crisis, terrible healthcare access, run down roads and facilities. And now a government with an entire economic plan of taxing the working class to oblivion during a recession.

Almost everyone i know in the UK is happy to move abroad if they found a good job offer.

A new survey shows one in three Muslims have considered leaving Britain due to fear of rising Islamophobia. It has found that concerns have grown since far-right demonstrations in July, fuelled by misinformation about the murder of three girls. Shadia Edwards-Dashti has the story. [TRT World]

The double standards. Remember, just a few weeks ago, the Israhelli's instigated chaos in Amsterdam, and when they were confronted with by the locals, the Western media were quick to create false propagandas that what happened there were pogroms against the Jews and some even said it was like the Holocaust. Now, we're seeing here that Muslims of any nationality are being attacked without any apparent reason but hate and Islamophobia. How is the Western media not quick to condemn this real thing that is happening?

Many people in this world are forever searching for outlets for the hate they carry instead of asking themselves why the hate exists within them. Their governments and sources for media use that to control them and controlled they become.

If there is one thing I know , Europeans should have considered outright deporting illegal Muslims before the start .

u/a_f_s-29 Nov 25 '24

Illegal Muslims? The vast majority of Muslims in the UK are the descendants of British empire subjects whose parents and grandparents legally came to the UK in the postwar era

u/gojira245 Nov 25 '24

Having concerns for your nation's failing policies towards asylum seekers (from war torn countries) as well as illegal immigrants (not from war torn countries) does not warrant xenophobia. If their real issue is to do with the honest unsustainable inflow of these people, they should be rallying towards their MPs for policy change that could possibly reduce this. Few examples which our (assuming you're a brit) government could pursue include building refugee processing centres over in France, reduce their housing support as well as cooperating with the rest of Europe (Dublin agreement) to balance the amount of immigrants being received. Lots of people were sold this idea Brexit would let us do that, controlling our borders and all, but since leaving the EU we've only gained a higher amount of immigrants from the Middle East and south-east of asia.

I'm no legal or political genius but if the migrant issue is so bad, we should stop the current Labour government from continuing to pursue policies which the Torres brought in since those policies exacerbated the situation

This riot was nothing more than a pogrom towards Muslims, they're the western worlds' boogeyman, remember it started because rumours went around that an individual of African descent that was Christian who brutally killed children was supposedly a middle eastern immigrant.

Even if they were an arab, why the hell does that matter?

What, does chapter 5 of the quran say go execute some little girls or something? cmon man, this is an ugly underbelly in the uk which honestly I believe is thriving because of the robbing of the middle and lower class, the people who are doing the robbing are distracting people in a rough spot in life with this brown boogeyman. The average brit as more in common with some poor sod coming across the chanel in a bloody rubber dingy than Jacob Recces Mogg or whatever that pricks name is. We need to push for policy change that are known and can get us out of this inflow mess, not torching hotels

Decades of the media and politicians telling the public brown people are bad, lazy benefit fraudsters while simultaneously being job thieves, institutional racism, and rising poverty and inequality.

I'm sure that's what you meant, right?
