An Alien In My Home Town

Bishop Nazir-Ali certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons when he started the no-go area controversy over a week ago. Most of the MSM has been rumbling on about this ever since. Even Dhimmie -in - chief, Gordon Brown got involved when he denied the existence of no - go areas. The Telegraph has come up with a great piece today and it cannot be denied, what we all know to be true, despite what the "useful idiots" and the "useless idiots" have to say:

"I feel like an alien, like I'm on a street in Karachi," Mr Carbin says, awkwardly.

"I don't feel I have anything in common with this area. It's like I've never been here before. I knew it would be different but I knew, too, that I would feel uncomfortably like I don't belong."

He now lives just 10 miles away, in the north of Bradford. He hasn't returned because Oak Lane, like so many similar areas of so many northern cities, is now an almost exclusive Asian Muslim community.

Mr Carbin is far from a racist, however. Well educated and widely travelled in Muslim countries, he has the utmost respect for the Islamic religion. What is worrying him is that Britain's increasing espousal of multiculturalism has led not to an integrated society but, instead, to ghettoisation, with white-only and Asian-only communities existing cheek by jowl but with little or no common ground. And that, he believes, could have an ominous outcome.

He is, clearly, one of those about whom Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester (Britain's only Asian-born bishop), wrote in The Sunday Telegraph last week: the increasing number of native white Britons who believe many of their streets have now become "no-go" areas.

The Bishop believes that one of the results of the resurgence of Islamic extremism has been to alienate young Muslims from this country and to view adherence to this ideology as a mark of acceptance.

This, he says, means many Christians and those of other faiths find it difficult to live or work here because they feel there is hostility towards them.

Britain's "novel philosophy" of multiculturalism, he believes, has caused Muslims to lead separate lives, in separate areas, speaking their native languages.

His views have angered many in Muslim communities but, equally, they have struck a chord with many like Mr Corbin. Read it All>>

I've heard from some UK friends and some American tourists who recently traveled there that they feel like "aliens" in Great Britain.

The demographics--working against Europe.

Depends where you go. That would be the same in any Euro Country. Go where the Muslims are and we would all be aliens. I suppose there must be parts of the US, the Bronx, ChinaTown, and others where we would feel the same to a lesser degree.

There are two basic ways in which this can be true,

1) in a Chinese area, you may perceive that you are not wanted, but you are, because they like when you frequent their businesses

2) in a Muslim area, where you really are not wanted.
