[quote="MuslimSister"]Seems like many people have issues with saying their British before they're Muslim...

What about your nationality?...

Who would say that they're Pakistani/Bengali/Guji etc before they are British?[/quote]

id say British before Pakistani because i was born in Britain - not Pakistan

but then id say Muslim before British - because being Muslim is more important to me+a much greater fact in my life

simple as that

IMO, seriously, i wouldnt put any one over the other. coz in terms of lifestyle i dont live the typical british way nor the paki style. its a pick n mix thing.

i wount put bieng british 1st, coz i do a lot of things the paki way and we implement a lot of cultural stuff in our lives. its important 2 remember where u come from.

with that said, i was born here n raised here n my passport is red.

bieng a muslim is the most important, but then after that i dont really care what im classed as coz it dont matter much 2 me. im a Brit-Paki-Ish-ani

My loyalties lie with Her Majesty, the Sovereign of England.

Those who don't like the ways of our Queen, they can leave.

British first or Muslim ? That is the question.

I was neither British nor Muslim. I was a baby first.

I don't think my generation can be British first and British last. Maybe my children will get closer to that 'identity'.

Sirus — Wed, 17 Aug 2005 - 15:59

why cant you be dual?

i dont like to abandon my roots, but then again im from here. just take the best of both worlds i would say.

much depends on what it requires to be british. i would work in the interests of society, but i wouldnt pledge my allegiance to an extent that i would die for the queen!

and as for pakistan......well theres a lot of backwardness that we could do without, but then again the brits could learn something from them

Doesn't 'Pakistani' come in somewhere?[/quote]

nope

I can be Pakistani tho when I choose to be

when me and sis were younger and more immature-we'd "go into Paki mode"

which meant-dressing up in Asian clothes-doing the full works (bangles etc) and then making dad tea and making conversation with the family in Urdu

I'm only a Paki when it comes to my food and dress
