    The problem with your suggestions is that they are contrary to the most basic principles of Western Civilization. The biggest problem with Europe is multiculturalism, i.e. the idea that all cultures are equal. They obviously are not. If someone brings his custom of child marriage from the Third World to the UK, it should not be excused on the grounds of "cultural diversity"; he and his accessories (the girl's parents) should be prosecuted for statutory rape. If a girl's family think that "honour killings" are acceptable, perhaps a life sentence bunged up with their own chamber pots will teach them differently. And if some murderous bastards even think of planning terrorist actions, the laws designed to handle the IRA are still on the books; lock them up until they're too feeble to even lift a knife, to say nothing of stabbing someone with it!

    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

    > The biggest problem with Europe is multiculturalism Not so. Black caribean culture blended perfectly well with white culture in the 70s and gave rise to a whole new form of music and youth movement, two tone, ska, etc. Indian culture is highly compatible with EUropean culture and has been for centuries. THe problem is islam. Just that. It is them. They dont want to integrate. They want to dominate, to take over, to subjugate. That isnt going to happen, believe me.

      You're right; I must have left out the 'sarcasm'/'irony' indicator on this. My apologies. Whether anyone likes it or not, a person born in the UK is a natural-born citizen of the country. While there may be a legal case for revoking the nationality and deportation of a naturalized terrorist, I don't see how you could do this for native-born ones.

        [Halal and kosher slaughter - GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/halal-and-kosher-slaughter) According to this, neither Halal nor Kosher slaughtering are illegal in the UK, assuming they are performed under the listed restrictions. There are a few countries that prohibit Halal and/or Kosher slaughtering, but it is still permitted in most of the Western world. [Legal aspects of ritual slaughter - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal\_aspects\_of\_ritual\_slaughter#European\_Union) As for your other proposed bans, they would be struck down by the first court to hear the case. You cannot strip a native-born person of his citizenship without cause (and being a Moslem doesn't count for this purpose), nor could you justify a ban on the Bible, some of Shakespeare's plays, etc. etc.

          Yes, we know allowances are made, but if you tried to slaughter animals by this method under any other name you would be in court.

            > are you banning the practice of religiously-acceptable animal slaughter because Because it is against UK law. If a religion practiced paedophilia would you permit it? Of course not. The law is the law. Period. > So, will ski masks be illegal, Dont be silly. The repression of women for religious reasons is what I am talking about, not head coverings persee, and it takes many forms, from head and body coverings to forbidding them to drive, and have freedom of choice.

            Sorry, but this is really a pure Argument. I don't know any Religion or civilized group which accept paedophilia. So this Argument is really _very_ hypothetical.

                    Read the article, not just the headline. The article mentions criminals with dual nationality, which typically means that they are immigrants, i.e. naturalised citizens. A naturalised citizen's rights differ from those of a natural-born citizen, in that a naturalised citizen may lose his/her citizenship under certain circumstances. Note that a naturalised citizen may (in some countries) lose their citizenship for perfectly innocent reasons, e.g. they lived abroad for more than a specified time.

                          Maybe I'm naive, but no, non of the civilized groups or religions do tolerate things like paedophilia. It is more that "an non restricted www" does support this. Even I think technically it should an easy thing to stop it! And yes, I'm Aware the Problem is not new, but with WWW it becomes another Dimension, which nobody like to stop. Why?

                            Well, ancient Rome and Greece did support it, and they were so civilised we depend on them for todays civilisation. But clearly if you define civilised as not supporting paedophilia then of course you can argue that no civilised society does. However to an Afghani he is civilised and you are a pagan.
