Sometimes I'll hear on the news that there is a huge muslim problem in Europe and Britain. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a media hype?
Edit: I do recall them getting upset for the cops having a puppy in a police cap or something.
Not really. There's a lot of people from Eastern countries come to live here, but by and large they all get on with their lives and make no trouble.
There are a few groups (Muslims Against Crusades for example) who try and stir up the shit by various inflammatory actions, but everyone knows they're idiots, and I cant imagine they have a huge following among the Muslim community. Supposedly something like 40% of young Muslims want Sharia law in some areas of the UK (according to the Daily Telegraph) but that doesn't really amount to a full blown terrorist threat, and it wont ever happen anyway.
The only people who sincerely believe we have a "Muslim problem" in our country are fuckwits like this guy and the organization he belongs to, the English Defence League. Unfortunately, people like that seem to be growing in number :/
