I sat down to watch 'What British Muslims Really think' with my best multicultural head on.
I cleared my mind of all preconceptions; grubby Rochdale cabbies passing white girls round for sex like a fried chicken bargain bucket, Imams beating kids into devotion, and the truly indoctrinated, blowing up Brussels to get 72 virgins in paradise.
Putting my feet up on the recycling bin, channelling my inner Polly Toynbee, I waited to sit corrected - prepared to accept the most dangerous Muslim in Britain is Bake Off's Nadiya Hussain armed with a Victoria Sponge.
But, much as it pains me to say it, I have been right all along. British Muslims are not part of some rich tapestry of urban life. It's a myth, dreamed up by the BBC, and perpetuated by the Islington elite.
It is them and us. And THEY have no wish to be anything like US.
The reason Muslims enjoy our country is because it is tolerant. Not the bits where we are tolerant of each other, you understand. Not the fact we respect your right to be Jewish or utterly ungodly. Or our warm embrace of those who identify as straight, gay, lesbian or as gender-fluid as a snail.
No. They enjoy our country because we are tolerant of their right to be as as prejudiced against...
THE number of asylum seekers in Germany more than doubled in the first three months of this year compared with the same period in 2015, it was revealed today.
Germany registered around 181,000 claimants between January and March to add to nearly half a million people who arrived in the final quarter of last year.
Critics say asylum application figures do not reflect the full scale of the influx into Germany.
It is believed many are either working on the black market or have turned to crime. Of those who have applied for asylum this year, almost half were Syrians.
More than six in 10 applications were approved, the Interior Ministry said today. The number of applications was 60,000 in March, up 87 per cent on March 2015.
Iraqis and Afghans were the second and third largest groups in the first quarter. Officials are still trying to process last year’s huge backlog of arrivals.
Most of the record 1.1 million migrants who arrived in Germany last year are in shelters where they must wait for weeks or months before they can apply for permission to stay.
An overstretched Federal Office for Migration and Refugees made decisions on 150,233 asylum applications in the first quarter, an almost 159 per cent increase on the year before.
The asylum approval rate was 61.6 per cent, up from about 42 per cent before the refugee crisis, the ministry said, as numbers of Syrians fleeing the...

Los Angeles city council will hear a proposal on Tuesday to exempt union members from a $15 an hour minimum wage that the unions themselves have spent years fighting for.
The proposal for the exemption was first introduced last year, after the Los Angeles city council passed a bill that would see the city’s minimum wage increase to $15 by 2020. After drawing criticism last year, the proposed amendment was put on hold but is now up for consideration once again.
Union leaders argue the amendment would give businesses and unions the freedom to negotiate better agreements, which might include lower wages but could make up the difference in other benefits such as healthcare. They argue that such exemptions might make businesses more open to unionization.
Because the California governor, Jerry Brown, signed a law raising the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022, workers who are part of the union would see their wages increase eventually – potentially two years later than those who are not part of union.
The amendment was originally proposed by ...
