Its growing, not declining.

Tell me, do you still need someone to tuck you in, check the closet for monsters?

There are 68.35 million people in Britain. In order for Islam to become the dominant ideology of the place, they'd need to take from no-where except Islamic nations and bring in an additional 64 million people.

Just to clarify, that'd be around 3% of the total world population of Muslims being moved to a tiny ****ing island that is arguably pretty dense people wise in the first place.

This is very, very stupid. How terrifying the world must be to you, to be so scared of shadows and dreams?

Pointing to school kids as evidence of coming theocracy is some dark level, manifesto type shit.

Am I claiming this will happen over night?

It doesn’t have to be a “majority” to have a huge impact on the country

No one claimed a theocracy….

Is an Islamic Britain in the room with you right now?

What checkpoints have been hit towards theorcracy since the 8 years that this thread has been going?

Oh so it's ust the individual Muslims you care about. Whilst spotlighting Muslim schoolchildren as potential...oppressors? Haters of western democracy? what...exactly?

 

[Gethelred]

I'm also a little confused. Why are we worried about Britain again?

They're on the other side of the ****ing world and the king hasn't converted to Islam. Of what relevance is the ongoing obviously pervasive and pantswettingly terrifying incremental advance of Islam in Britain to us here, in Australia?

 

[sr36]

... less than 10%?

You're worried about less than 10% of school children, a percentage of which will abandon their religion - because the funny thing about repression, it breeds rebellion - in favour of fitting in?

**** me. This is really, really dumb.

You're missing the self fulfilling attempts in the prophecies.

If you can whip up enough Islamophobia for regular discrimination and vilification and create enough pressure to pass discriminatory laws, you can get yourself a marginalised discriminated against community banding together in opposition to the government. And then become increasingly certain of your prophecy.

No, i was simply using the percentage of school age kids to give a picture of the changing demographics in the UK. Quite simple.

Why are people asked to swear to God in our courts of law?

Oaths and affirmations​

Oaths​

An oath is a verbal promise to tell the truth. Oaths are frequently made while holding the Bible, the New Testament or the Old Testament. Witnesses may choose to swear an oath on another relevant religious text. It is not necessary that a religious text be used in taking an oath.
Oaths may be taken by individuals, or by two or more people at the same time.
For a witness appearing in court, the form of oath taken is generally as follows:
"I swear (or the person taking the oath may promise) by Almighty God (or the person may name a god recognised by his or her religion) that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
There is a separate oath for people who act as an interpreter in court. If this applies to you, the form of the oath for interpreters in court can be found at Schedule 1 to the Evidence Act 2008.

Absence of religious belief​

If an oath has been properly administered and taken, the fact that the person to whom the oath was administered had no religious beliefs at that time does not affect the validity of the oath.

So if you don’t believe in any god, can you simply omit references to any deity? And what do you hold when giving your oath?

So what's problem of a changing demographic then if that poses no threat?

Whatever feels good i suppose.
