That if a person follows a mainstream religion, they should be tried by the laws of that mainstream religion. If don’t want to be tried by those laws then get the hell out of that religion and practise a non-mainstream religion or a more liberal mainstream religion.

Also, it's unfortunately very common for Muslim women to be tormented and harrassed by the men. They're oppressed, you see. If you don't wear the burkha, you're literally risking your life.
When you have to live in constant fear of your own life, it becomes a very difficult choice to make; you have to be sympathetic of that.

I was referring to this bit:
Why I say that's racist is that it's the same claim made about every immigrant minority in every country in the world. No specific race was "slurred," but the same accusations were levelled. We don't have a large Arab population where I'm from, but every Arab I've met spoke English and had moderate religious adherence. Here the big slurs target Indians. And yeah, the older folks move in and at their advanced ages they take a lot longer to pick up the language. Usually the fathers drive cabs or get jobs as security guards, while the mothers get some production work in all-Indian workshops. The kids go to school and learn English and grow up Canadian. But if you ask White people, those folks refuse to learn the language, don't work, scam welfare and are ruining our society.
If you want less immigration, have more babies.

Aren’t they? Its a custom in Islam to cut off a boy’s foreskin and a girl’s clitoris. They have to live with that for the rest of their lives. Its always a reminder of what they are or what they are supposed to be.

The reason I don’t think its racist is because in the UK we get immigrants from all over black, white Asian everyone and the white ones can be as irritating to deal with as anyone else therefore the blame goes on culture not race. Secondly what he says is exactly true; while many immigrants are a benefit to the UK I'm not exaggerating when I say the majority I've come across make my life more difficult. These aren’t people who are sitting at home sponging off benefits (though some do exist); these are people who hang around air ports being taxi touts and other equally annoying illegal jobs. Even ones who get perfectly legal jobs are a nuisance because they get jobs in the service sector where they have to interact with the public yet they can’t speak/understand English well. It’s not racist or a lie to point that out it’s simply a fact. Your comment is a perfect example of how political correctness has made it “racist” to make any criticism of immigration whatsoever even if your criticism raises valid points. I realise it doesn’t help that such things are usually said by the worst kind of idiot as excuses for their bigotry.
I'm not one of these hysterical people saying I'm losing my country and we should send them all home that would make me a hypocrite because my own grandfather was an immigrant (as everyone else’s family is at some point in the past). But he came to this country was able to speak English fluently, got a job, contributed and respected the laws. The reason I believe so strongly in my argument is because I'm not asking anyone to do anything me and my family haven’t done. Learn the language respect the laws/culture and contribute to society rather than take from it, is that so much to ask of any immigrant?

Not if you are living in Britain. There are people there whose ancestors were the original proprietors of the land. Those people are known as the Welsh.
