``“Britain is stronger for the major contribution made to it by those of an Islamic faith,” said the Labour leader while describing the UK as a “truly multi-faith, multiracial and multicultural society”.

Now let`s hear something akin to the above paragraph from a Muslim leader of a Muslim country -- about building in his or her OWN country: a “truly multi-faith, multiracial and multicultural society”.

please...articles such as these sure raise my ire...i`m sick and tired of how muslims should be treated and how ``influential`` they are,sic.....why don`t you accept that you or your forefathers are economic migrants either searching for a better standard of living or the desire to be part of the western world and just BE...I live in newyork and pakistanis and bangladeshis are the two communities with the proverbial ``chip`` on their shoulder always telling all and sundry how wonderful their countries are and how devout they are as muslims...Lo and behold , last april the most immigrants deported from the US were from pakistan and bangladesh, both of whom were on the list of 25 countries, deemed a risk by the US govt....India has more citizens who are muslims than any other country in the islamic world , yet india was not on the list of countries deemed a threat by the US...get the point.??...if you`re from pakistan i guess you won`t...listen, britain is a small ,piddling little land and space is gonna be a problem very soon and guess whose asses are gonna get thrown out first???....look me in the eye and answer me...I hope you will take a lesson out of india`s page...By and large, religion in india is where it should be, in the private domain, between me and my god....the state should not interfere in the faith that a citizen chooses to profess nor should a citizen demand that the state support his faith...separation of church and state....the reason why the islamic world is in such a mess is `cause the line between church and state got blurred.Seats indeed??.what next..Buckhingham palace??.ye people sure have balls...i grant ye that
