I live in an area where the Muslim population has exploded in recent years.
I get on with many of them. I would say that most of them are just ordinary folk.
True, but it's always the minority that spoils it for everyone.I have a very strong faith. But, each to their own. I am Catholic.

That seems to be the experience of most white people who live in such areas.
Which restaurant?really, then in our town we have a place called Spring Bank, the Muslims have taken it over and is heavily poulated by them to the extent that the long standing residents were driven out, also they put a sign on one restaurant stating "No English Allowed" The council got the sign removed but even so you was not welcome even to this day inside of it.
I guess you learnt how to strangle the English language like that from your time at University huhbut even so you was not welcome even to this day inside of it

what really happened was that the Kurds came in and started opening up all those boarded up shops, theyve invested in the area and made it vibrant againthen in our town we have a place called Spring Bank, the Muslims have taken it over and is heavily poulated by them to the extent that the long standing residents were driven out,

No mate, thats. the narrative the council gave to ease tensions. It doesn't work when you know the area.what really happened was that the Kurds came in and started opening up all those boarded up shops, theyve invested in the area and made it vibrant again
it is now a thriving multicultural neighbourhood
Norman Harrop who runs the Norman Harrop & Sons stained glass studio says:
“The street has changed. We have lots of hairdressers nearby which bring in lots of customers for us. Them and the barbers from Kurdistan and the hairdressers from Poland are doing really well and bringing in lots of clients – they are very friendly people.
“One of the first ones to move in were the family from Iraq and they moved in next door and they had a little mini market. We’ve had quite a few move into the flats above us too, including Latvians and Russians.
“I think it’s all good for the street and has encouraged people in the area to try different foods because I think the foreign supermarkets are quite well used.”
