Britain could get Muslim and Hindu Bank Holidays

[Dubious]

Want links? Incapable of Google search for yourself on topics that you close your eyes from?

We can start with this:

Marseilles is now 30-40% Muslim. Excessive violence, riots, and rapes has made it the most dangerous city in Europe | The Muslim Issue

Did you even read what I was replying to....You seem to have just agreed with me yet I am the one closing my eyes ?

Muslim contribution to British economy is much more than your little brain could comprehend.

For example, 33% of ALL small and medium businesses in London are owned by Muslims...generating thousands of jobs! That's just one city.

So stfu and walk along..

Muslim contribution to uk prison is also much more. There must be a prison holiday.

Lazy dolts would take Martian holidays if they could swing it.

 

[scrumpy]

I prefer the current system of bank holidays which fall either on Monday or Friday.

Is the petition asking for random holidays in the middle of the week? In that case a big fat _NO_ from me. I celebrate long weekends a lot more than religious holidays.

Majority of British are of Christian heritage, true....but Britain is a diverse society consisting of numerous ethnic and linguistic groups. Like India, minorities form sizeable population among English, Scotts, Welsh, Irish....minorities are majority in 3-4 cities of UK like London, Leicester, Birmingham.

how many hindus/muslims among welsh,Scott,irish communities??

L O L proposal of Holiday in England has turned into a measuring contest between Hindu and Muslim.

Well I do not have the specific counts of Hindus and Muslims, but Christian make up only 59% of UK's population, that too mostly nominal Christians I believe. That compares poorly with 80% of Hindus in India.

Muslims are ok, but why hindus?

Hindus are insignificant non-important people unlike Muslims. Moreover, they are very few in numbers.

What about the London tube bombings by Islamic Militants.The militants had visited Pakistan for training. Last year Two Muslim attackers savagely killed a man believed to be a British soldier just outside an army barracks in an apparent terrorist attack in southeast London.British police say anti-Muslim attacks nearly doubled in England last year, prompting concern among community leaders

Multi-cultural Britain! Caving to every one!

I as a British Indian is not in favour of this move at all!

No wonder, UKIP is on rise, it's time to make Britain, British again!

guru,so ethnic whites are around 85% in britan and they mostly practicing christianity and atheism,right???
remaining muslims,hindus,Jews,christian(non whites) are immigrants from others,right??
in bangaluru Kannadigas formed 34%,Tamils formed 27% and Malayalis formed 10% of population....both Kannada and Tamil's festivals are regional holidays in bangaluru..though malayalis formed sizeable amount there is no regional holidays for malayali festivals...because unlike Malayalis, Kannadigas and Tamils are ethnic indigenous communities of bangaluru ,whereas malayalis are recent immigrants...
same may be the reason in britan..

What nonsense. There is holiday for Onam and Vishu in Karnataka. When only 59% of Britain calls itself Christian then where did you get that 85% of Britain is practicing Christianity? I doubt more than 15% of British are practicing Christians given the churches are empty even for Sunday services and are being sold.

There is no ethnic whites, only racial whites which is around 81% and not 85%.

Minority ethnic groups break through the class barrier – with exceptions | Joseph Rowntree Foundation
After controlling the data for family background differences, Caribbean, Black African, Indian and Chinese young people were more likely to have found professional or managerial jobs than their white, non-migrant counterparts. This was consistent with evidence that migrants often experienced downward mobility on entering Britain and that they hold strong aspirations for their children – which may have been part of their original reason for migrating in search of a new life.

is there any sizeable hindus/muslims among ethnic white population of britan??
may be today christianity is practicing by only 15% of whites..but they are also the ethnic indigenous population of britan..minorities in britan are mostly immigrants from other countries...their nation their rules..
but in India ,Hinduism/islam/christianity are practicing by the local ethnic peoples..unlike in britan,minorities of India are not immigrants...may be the religion not the peoples who are practicing...

While minorities in India are not immigrants, their religions is foreign and something that is harmful all over the world. The educated west is already discarding Christianity and Islam is already looking at not such a rosy future. Now it does not matter if they are sizable ethnic population of Hindus and Muslims in UK. What matters is that they are citizen of their country and have as much right on it as any unless you subscribe to the view that some people should be second grade citizens. In which case, do not be surprised if you find yourself at the receiving end of such considerations.

brother,why are you dragging religion into each and every instances??no religion preach us to discriminate anyone on their caste/religion or ethnicity...
black arabs,descendants of African Muslims are still treated like second class citizens in yemen,even after they are living there for more than 100s of years..they are living under extreme discrimination and are forced to do worse slave jobs by the majority ethnic arab authority .. ..one treatment for ethnic arabs and another for black descendants..what it says??... religion has no role in it??..
