yeah i know what you mean. In my school i asked a few of them, some of which i am friendly with, what they consider their nationality.
Most said Pakistani but also Muslim. I explained the difference between religious views and nationality, but they stuck with what they said, that Muslim was a nationality in there eyes and, this is the same as when they said Pakistani, that although they were born in England, they do not consider themselves English. I think this is a really bad sign, they seem to think our rules don't apply. At least in America there is a greater patriotism so people from all religious faiths will say they are American.
Obviously this doesn't reflect all Muslims at all, in fact i think it's more our generation that feel so strongly from what i have seen. No doubt the problems in the middle east are a factor.
I rally hope we don;t pass any legislation that allowed for their laws to intertwine with our own, or honour killings( when they kill the woman who has ran away from an arranged marriage, is not a virgin, etc) may start somehow avoiding murder status...

That pisses me off SO much. I really don't care that your great great great grandmother was a quarter Irish.
