    Total undiluted bullshit ! yes folks you saw it here first !
    France has a higher percentage of muslims ? You are kidding right ????
    Or are you just mentally unbalanced??? the french call britain "Britanistan" !

    As for the shop fronts have you ever noticed how ugly metal and plastic is compared to 17th century brick and timber? Whats wrong with people who
    look at pictures of any high street circa 1920 - then any high street now, wheres the character? behind a fascade of plastic and alluminium

    I cant believe anyone would believe that bullcrap that france has a higher muslim population. The figures must surely be manipulated, sure france has a population equal to britain with a country about 3 or 4 times the size so theres easy ways to show a higher population of muslims but my point anyway was more to do with racial disharmony than numbers

    Probably cause in Spain the 2 hour lunch is used for a siesta, it being much too hot to do anything else in the middle of the day except have a sleep or maybe laze on the beach.
    Britain has its faults, but when i compare it with our degenerate offspring from across the Atlantic, we have a lot to be grateful for.
    To use Simpsons analogies: Britain is Lisa Simpson, America is Ralph Wiggum.

    According to trusty old wikipedia a study based on 1999 French census returns estimated 3.7 million muslims (6.3% of population) compared to the 2001 UK census figure of 1.6 million (2.7% of population). There seems to be an issue with the French figures that they may include some non-observant muslims who originated from muslim countries, and various estimates vary wildly between 3% and 10% of population. The CIA World Factbook estimates somewhere between 5-10%. Even the lowest estimate is higher than the 2001 figure for British muslims. There are an awful lot of people of Algerian and Morrocan descent in France because of France's colonial history, these will account for a large proportion of France's muslims.

    I'm very sorry - I was in fact under the impression that the UK had a higher percentage. My apologies.

    But my point still stands - Look at how they've handled it! I'm sure you can admit that that shit wouldn't go on here!

    Being a non-white (Or whatever we're called - ethnic minority?) I just FELT like continental countries were a bit more... That the UK was more accepting? :/
