Still anti Muslim though isn't it.It could be if non muslims didn't have to learn as well, regardless of their age.
My wife isn't a muslim and it's part of her visa conditions that she has to pass a certain level of English by the end of that visa if she wishes to remain in the UK beyond that period.
So is that acceptable for Muslim women in Bradford? Most of them never need to speak Arabic. They can probably order dinner in a restaurant.
Just because you're surrounded by brits doesn't mean you shouldn't be speaking Spanish. I mean you've effectively just created your own sub culture in Spain. An area where you don't need to go outside of, where everyone is the same as you, where the food is the same.
It's literally the same thing that people criticise immigrants into the uk for.
The truth is that migration needs two things (amongst many more i am sure) in order to be culturally successful 1) acceptance and inclusion by the indigenous 2) acceptance to interact and be inclusive by the migrants.
In a lot of cases there is neither.
How would most on here feel if a Syrian immigrant to the UK said: "I'll speak enough to get by, but am happy because everyone around me speaks Arabic this it's not necessary for me to become fluent in english".
They'd probably be outraged, no?
That is their religion/tradition and he has no right to interfere no matter how much we don't like it happeningIsn't the point being missed by everyone?
He is saying some muslim women are kept at home with very strict husbands and don't let them learn English so they have no lives. He wants that to stop and so should everyone it's weird as fuck in this day and age.
Wrong.That is their religion/tradition and he has no right to interfere no matter how much we don't like it happening
Not wrong,dave cannot talk muslem families to change how they live inside their own 4 walls,doesn't stop the dick tryingi it thoughWrong.
I assume they are managing that already,how i understand it dave is tying this to radicalisation which is ridulous,parents not being able to talk to their kids in a language they can both understand is ridiculousWill it be a tradition not knowing how to ask for a bottle of milk or a loaf? Or even to go to parents evening and understand what's happening with their children's education or help with homework?
Well said. It does not take much for the little Englanders to start foaming at the mouth.I'm surrounded by Brits? News to me, I live in Valencia not Benidorm, pal. I have got married, had a kid, bought a house and started a business here, as well as living daily in a Spanish village with very few ex-pats in the area.
My point is that there are hundreds of thousands of Brits around the world that don't speak the language of the country they live in. So yes, it is the same as SOME immigrants in the UK but I can guarantee that percentage wise I bet the number of immigrants in Britain that speak English is higher than Brits abroad that don't speak Chinese, Thai, Spanish, Italian etc. So yeah, it's a bit rich for the English to complain about this when the vast majority of the Brits that have descended onto other cultures are exactly the fucking same.
