Has Racism Chased Amir Khan Out Of Britain?

[S.G.]

Carl Froch ran Amir out of England

[General Zod]

in Britain anti-****** racism has poisoned society to the point where it’s impossible to pick up a newspaper or watch the TV news in Britain today without a negative stereotype of ******s or Islam staring back at you. Khan, the highest profile ****** sportsman in the country

I would say that the 7/7 attacks and groups like islam4uk have helped promote a lot of the backlash against ******s in England, still feel that the writer is exaggerating things though.

Four out of 10 British ******s want sharia law introduced into parts of the country, a survey reveals today.

The ICM opinion poll also indicates that a fifth have sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the suicide bombers who attacked London last July 7, killing 52 people, although 99 per cent thought the bombers were wrong to carry out the atrocity.
Overall, the findings depict a ****** community becoming more radical and feeling more alienated from mainstream society, even though 91 per cent still say they feel loyal to Britain.

The results of the poll, conducted for the Sunday Telegraph, came as thousands of ******s staged a fresh protest in London yesterday against the publication of cartoons of Mohammed. In Libya, at least 10 people died in protests linked to the caricatures.

And in Pakistan, a cleric was reported to have put a $1 million (£575,000) bounty on the head of the Danish cartoonist who drew the original pictures.

Last night, Sadiq Khan, the Labour MP involved with the official task force set up after the July attacks, said the findings were "alarming". He added: "Vast numbers of ******s feel disengaged and alienated from mainstream British society." Sir Iqbal Sacranie, the secretary general of the ****** Council of Britain, said: "This poll confirms the widespread opposition among British ******s to the so-called war on terror."

The most startling finding is the high level of support for applying sharia law in "predominantly ******" areas of Britain.


Islamic law is used in large parts of the Middle East, including Iran and Saudi Arabia, and is enforced by religious police. Special courts can hand down harsh punishments which can include stoning and amputation.

Forty per cent of the British ******s surveyed said they backed introducing sharia in parts of Britain, while 41 per cent opposed it. Twenty per cent felt sympathy with the July 7 bombers' motives, and 75 per cent did not. One per cent felt the attacks were "right".

Nearly two thirds thought the video images shown last week of British troops beating Iraqi youths were symptomatic of a wider problem in Iraq. Half did not think the soldiers would be "appropriately punished".

Half of the 500 people surveyed said relations between white Britons and ******s were getting worse. Only just over half thought the conviction of the cleric Abu Hamza for incitement to murder and race hatred was fair.

Mr Khan, the MP for Tooting, said: "We must redouble our efforts to bring ******s on board with the mainstream community. For all the efforts made since last July, things do not have appear to have got better."

He agreed with Sir Iqbal that the poll showed ******s still had a "big gripe" about foreign policy, particularly over the war on terror and Iraq.

David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said: "It shows we have a long way to go to win the battle of ideas within some parts of the ****** community and why it is absolutely vital that we reinforce the voice of moderate Islam wherever possible."

A spokesman for Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, said: "It is critically important to ensure that ******s, and all faiths, feel part of modern British society. Today's survey indicates we still have a long way to go… [but] we are committed to working with all faiths to ensure we achieve that end."

Of course it does but the writer has a clear agenda so things like that will be conveniantly forgotten.

The Telegraph is very right-wing.

I think Amir would have gone anyway. The hate, which does exist, is clearly something you don't need, especially when you're young and when your confidence can be knocked much more easily.

But he still would have chased the big fights across the pond anyway.

I always thought of Brits as very open-minded and accepting. Maybe things have changed since 9/11 and the train bombing. But isn't there a huge mid-east and south Asian population there?

Yesh there is.
The writer has a clear agenda, so he is leaving out any facts which would damage his case. No country is perfect, but that guy makes out like every British person hates ******s or something like that.

Iam not saying there ain't any animosity against ******s and immigrants in general. I just wanted to present one of the factors that might have caused it.
