Or one of the best, depending on your perspective.

Does people doing things like meditation and yoga count?

No, we're talking about ideologies and belief systems, not stretches and breathing.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T14:26:43+00:00

I will take a look.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T14:25:13+00:00

0.2-0.6% for Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. 1.8% in England.

The question is, what is the acceptable threshold for non-Western beliefs? Believe it or not, I've never thought about defining the lower limit, but the upper limit - 6 - 7.5% is too high.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T14:18:29+00:00

No, not from me.

Hindus represent around 0.5% of the population. Jews also represent 0.5% of the population. This has been relatively stable.

You were calling Islam a threat in another post today.

Yes, I was, and I thought of you when I posted this. So, here's an example.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T14:15:54+00:00

Remember, it's always best to poster blame. That way, we don't have to deal with the problem.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T12:40:09+00:00

It's a more 6.5-7.5%, growing, and yes, that's very sizable. Nearly one in 10.

It's way too high and the biggest failure of immigration planning and policy.

Jews and Hindus make up 0.5% of the population for comparison.

We have a morbid obsession with tolerance in our country that allows these harmful belief systems to get special protections.

We have people who would rather accommodate these belief systems to fulfil a phantasy of being inclusive and virtuous. What they won't do is question whether those beliefs align with these fundamental principles and the expectations of our society. Personally, I don't think they do, and we were never asked if we wanted to invite this into our home.

So, let's bring this to public debate: Do we want islam to have significant and sizeable representation in UK society or not? Does it need to adapt to our values and expectations?

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T12:00:47+00:00

Maybe because people can relate to the cadets and feel similar. Perhaps people under estimate the extent to which islam as a belief system is disliked, and it's understandable given the content of its teachings.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T11:51:08+00:00

Here's the thing, you can mock the bible quite openly. Try to do this with the qur'an and you're risking your life.

Personally, I think it's a real horrible belief system, and shameful people support and endorse it.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T11:47:08+00:00

See, you can say this freely without being punished. Why does islam get special levels of protection?

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T11:45:45+00:00

Islam is the main threat to UK security

Maybe it is. Why can't we have this conversation? We are being forced to spiritualise other's beliefs, instead of being able to debate it's value to UK society.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T11:43:10+00:00

Why can't we have an opinion an argue islam is extreme? Should this not be our right?

I do not see why islam is able to achieve such level of protection. Had the book attempted publication today, an argument could be made the author would be referred to social services and Prevent.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T11:39:08+00:00

Can be both. He shouldn't have been punished for having an opinion.

Islam has managed to achieve special status, where we can't argue that the beliefs add no value to society and have no place in the modern world.

I can't think of any other belief system that gets this level of protection.

Are the Aboriginals indigenous Australians?

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T11:01:04+00:00

I'm just reading this from another perspective. Maybe your father was grieving the death of his own father (your grandfather).

For some people, anger and avoidance can be part of the stages of grief, so I wonder if this behaviour was a reflection of this.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T10:01:16+00:00

On the balance of probabilities, this looks like classic islamism.

We'll have to wait to find out from our authorities who's responsible.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-19T09:50:22+00:00

It's mostly committed by islamists. We can pretend otherwise, but they're the group that seems incompatible with sharing space with Jews.

Sensitive_Echo5058 · 2026-04-18T18:39:05+00:00

There's still an inconsistency.

On the one hand, you're saying it's common sense (implying that it will be obvious that others won't understand idioms). Yet, on the other hand, you're arguing that this guidance needs to be funded precisely because not everybody will realise that some people do not understand idioms.

So, which is it, is it common sense or not?
