Tip for you – Dont boil the chickpeas – it becomes far too smooth !!
Infact if you have to use tinned chickpeas – freeze half of them and then put them in the blender you will have a proper hummous (the original uses proper uncooked beans soaked ovrnight!)
You should try falafel – mmmmm
No idea of what the topic is about – Tokyo Rose you remind me of a school teacher (Sally Matthews!) …
I lived in Riponggi in Tokyo
Anyways
The old saying “spare the rod and spoil the child” come to mind !
I personally think that the demise of the old national service was the beginning of the end (not that I went in to the national service) – bring back conscription !!
If/when we have kids – we shall instruct the nanny to horsewhip the child, cold showers before breakfast ! (That is a joke btw !!)
First remember it will be a bucket list for 2017
See I cant even be trusted to ascertain the year !!
I was considering spending a lickle quality ME time – nails/hair/massage/sun/botox etc this year as I have neglected myself lately. Todays colour is henna from an indian wedding we attended – the girls were aghast !
I would simply demand that the chef comes out and takes a bite of the food if it was inedible – I have no qualms in creating a fuss – the bigger the better.
The serving staff usually ‘expect’ a tip so i have a simple demand – good, clean honest food (dare i say ‘simple’ ?)
One thing that pisses me off is that the waiters always come around when i have just put a large forkful of food in my mouth and come around and say ‘ is everything ok’ !

I thought “Getting Serious” could mean members of JC in semi-dressed state.
Anyone want to see my top hat lol…
“… I will reuse the example that I used in reply to MalboroMan, a muslims store owner may choose to refuse custom to another muslim because of a Sharia court ruling. This would be an illegal form of discrimination under British law…”
Where do you base this example ? Again picking up examples randomly without any merit or evidence is not thinking rationally or fairly.
Im sorry to be pedantic but a court implies that there is a jurisdication and enacts the law of the land. A Sharia Council does not impose that – hence a Council is a better word (and far more accurate!).
“..Even if I did get the quotes from an alt-right source, that doesn’t mean they aren’t in the Quran anymore suddenly..” – see now people can see context – you simply copy and paste from alt-right sites which only give you one side of the story full of half truths to serve their own agendas id imagine.
In regards to hindiusim and homosexuality – The dharma textbooks either ignore or stigmatize homosexual activity. There is however no key/central holy book (as the word given by God like the Torah/Bible/Quran). The Vedas is from many authors and not considered the word of God. Hindus predominately have family Gods/ancestor worship (for want of a better phrase!).
I notice you subtly left out the 40 meanings of jihad from your analysis but hey ho
I notice you subtly left out why the original question is not explained: where have muslims failed to intergrate in to the community and why just Muslims ?

I dont know how to copy & quote:
- “It is worth mentioning for people that don’t know, Sharia law doesn’t actually come from the Quran. It comes from some of the Hadiths and it isn’t seen as a part of Islam by some sects of the religion because of this.” – Incorrect – Sharia law does come from the Quran and from fatwas (which may be based on hadiths). Above all there is no such thing as a sharia court. It is subordinated to the law of the land (assume UK). It has no legal bearing on the decision. People go to the sharia councils for advice and elder ruling which is considered ‘halal’ – a form of mediation. If there is any disagreement then the party may go to the UK courts for another verdict which is legally binding. The council arbitrates on varieity of matters ranging from financial, commercial matters or (i believe the majority of cases) divorce. A talak given by a council is a sharia compliant document – but it has no legal bearing. If the husband (for example) wants to sponser a wife outside from the UK then they will have to go thru a UK divorce court but with the understanding that they have settled their financial/custodial matters and all that remains is usually a draft order which is sealed by the judge.
2. Jihad – partially correct but very heavily biased. The arab word al-aharb has over 40 different meanings depending on the context. It ranges from an internal struggle, to outside single struggle to the heavily biased war-mongering on non-believers.
3. Reading a book does not mean you understand it. I can read kanji (very limited!) but i cannot comprehend the meanings behind the images. It requires someone to teach/explore the meanings. The standard arabic of the Quran is written in a short-hand. It assumes that the reader has read the text in the context of the history. Picking out single sentenances from obvious alt-right/heavily biased sites will give a meaning – reading the sura (quote) from understanding the context and/or history behind it gives another interpretation.
4. Going back to the original posters statement – i am still confused where muslims have failed to intergrate and why muslims were pointed out rather than other religions from buddists, to hindus to zen etc….
Anyways must dash for my nails – they are looking awful (1 week + without any tlc!)

Muslims in the UK are intergrated into the community from Parliment, to education to health care to sports (probably more skewed towards cricket id imagine!).
Why not ‘Skihs must integrate more’ or ‘Poles/Europeans must integrate more’ ?
Is it the religous intergration within the community or do you mean Pakistanis, Arabs must intergrate more ??
