Cameron: Muslims must integrate

you do realise modern day Britain still has colonies?
You do realise those places have chosen to retain their status as falling under the jurisdiction of the UK and are self-governing?

To equate that situation to the colonial era of global subjugation and abuse is something I'd expect from Zuma, not someone like yourself that has demonstrated the level of intelligence required to access an Internet forum. Come on saturnz you're better than that. Right now that insane Monza thread is the only legacy of your foolishness, don't introduce asinine Zuma logic to that list now as well.

Remember the year is two thousand and sixteen, not twenty, ten and six. Keep repeating that and hopefully it will help.

hey you made the indian reference, not me

No.

If it wasn't for those colonialists you'd be begging on some street in India :erm:

Which I responded to saying you could have also been rich like a gupta or someone that one who wants to be a millionaire.

So how does that make me a bigot & why did you not label ShaunSA a bigot?

You know many people here have thought I'm indian which was funny but definitely not bigotry. But then again you've thrown the terms bigot & islamaphobe around here as if it was a competition.

its a colony, therefore Britain are colonialists, can we move on?

No we can't because they aren't.

Colonialism is the establishment, exploitation, maintenance, acquisition, and expansion of colony in one territory by a political power from another territory. It is a set of unequal relationships between the colonial power and the colony and often between the colonists and the indigenous population.

They're technically British Overseas Territories, not colonies. They called something other than colonies because, unlike colonies, they retain their rather superficial links to the UK by choice, they self govern and of course are not routinely exploited and pillaged by the Crown.

Colonial relationships have always been forceful and exploitative. That is why people speak ill of the Colonial Era. You can't equate that brutal relationship to what happens today... not with any credibility anyway.

Apparently we can't move on, not until you've figured this out anyway.

read my post again where I asked about me being indian, you answered the question, so I answered you. Why did you think I asked you the question? If you feel the need to be part of the conversation then I will include you in the conversation.

No it's not. Membership of the commonwealth is voluntary, the types of membership differ. We are part of the commonwealth as well.

yes technicalities
 
I think the brummies and Geordie's need to learn English first. They been there a longer time, and God knows what language they speak
 
Don't forget "colonialist". He loves that word.

Doesn't know what it means, but he loves it bless his heart. :D

yeah I may not know what it means, but currently Syria is busy colonising Europe
 
yes technicalities
I've presented very logical reasons for the differentiations between these two very distinct types of relationships mate. The relationship between the BOTs and the modern day UK is nothing like the brutal exploitative relationship between the Colonial Era colonies of the British Empire where people were stripped of their rights and treated like livestock. If you're going to insist on continuing with this direct comparison as though they're the same despite the fatal flaws that have already been pointed out then don't expect that feeble notion to gain you any credibility.

Well, if that's true Europe would be well advised to kick them out and close the doors to them.

I've thrown around the term islamaphobe?

care to show the evidence? I've never used that word once in any of my posts?

exaggerate much?

The UK does not fall under the sovereignty of Syria, its people are not being loaded onto ships and wagons and taken to plantations and back to Syria to work as slaves and its mineral wealth is not being exploited for the benefit of the landed nobility in Syria.

I agree, you definitely don't know what it means. What is more in thinking that what is happening today is anything like the horror that happened in the Colonial Era you are belittling the scale of human suffering visited upon the people residing in the colonies during that era.
