muslim integration
apologies for reviving an old topic, but i was wondering if the events of 7/7, the Birmingham riots and French riots have had much of an impact on British Muslims today.
Has it made you want to integrate more into british society? do you feel compassion or anger towards those in the riots?
and what does it mean to integrate into british culture?
the oldham and bradford riots were a while back, but what impact have they had on muslims today?
do young muslims feel disillusioned living in a country they may not be able to fully connect with?
soon after 7/7 a woman was asked on live TV if she was British or Muslim. She lashed out and asked why she could not be both, that by being Muslim she was not denying her Britishness.
what are your thoughts on this?

Yeh, I remember that stuff from Junior school as well. Didnt do stuff on malaysia but aztecs and rainforest etc I remember.
At school I LOVED the tudor/stuart period. It was such an interesting time, I dont understand how any1 can NOT be interested in it. There was political, religious, social, mroal, intellectual change on all levels. As opposed to logical stuff like maths and science I preferred subjects where you have to think, found it more engaging. Having said that science and maths and that were ok aswell.
I was the biggest dosser at school but alhamdulillah somehow managed to get some good grades. Used to do a LOT of . . . how shall i say . . . er . . . group work on courseworks and school exams.
