University where 20% of students are Muslim considers alcohol-free zones

A London university is considering establishing alcohol-free zones on its campuses because so many of its students consider drinking to be immoral.

Professor Malcolm Gillies, vice-chancellor of London Metropolitan University, said the selling of alcohol was an issue of "cultural sensitivity" at his institution where a fifth of students are Muslim.

Speaking to a conference of university administrators in Manchester, he said that for many students, drinking alcohol was "an immoral experience".

"Because there is no majority ethnic group [at London Metropolitan], I think [selling alcohol] is playing to particular parts of our society much more [than to others]," he was reported as saying in the Times Higher Education magazine.

Ah, more one-way 'sensitivity'. The West's slow cultural suicide is becoming ever more painful to watch.

I'd consider having 20% of students Muslim to be a far greater threat than selling grog!

And the funny thing is that the people who support this treachery are going to be the first to either be beheaded with a kitchen knife or hanged slowly.

Have you ever been accused of excessive use of hyperbole Mr T ?

Have you ever been accused of commonsense?

The people who are falling over themselves to assist the world-wide Islamic revolution are the left-wing, progressive, gay, ecotard etc clowns who will be first on the list to be executed by the Fundamentalists.

I always thought that treachery was the undermining of your own civilisation/country - are not these people doing this?

Just how well do you think these people will survive in a Fundamentalist Islamic society?

Which bit do you think is hyperbole???

This bit-
" the first to either be beheaded with a kitchen knife or hanged slowly."
How long before that starts happening in Australia?

[Mr T]

Try using the European countries and England for a bit of an idea of methodology and time lines.

If you think it can never happen here, I think you are living in a dream world.

Have we had any Islamic "honour killings" here in Australia yet???

What about listening to the other 80% of the student body for a change, they don't consider alcohol to be immoral. Neither do many of the muslims once behind closed doors. If some consider alcohol immoral it is not compulsory so get over it. Non-muslims may consider having multiple wives immoral but don't go around declaring multiple wife zones.

Hey budgue smuggler-did you think 20 years ago that muslims would be beheading people on live tv. Did you think 20 years ago they would fly planes into buildings and bomb subways. It's not as far away as you think if you keep trying to appease them.

[kraka]

On second thoughts-just keep your head buried in your rectum where it currently is and keep saying to yourself-nothing to see here-move along. Mr T is right-the people who are not idealogically aligned with the Muslims but nevertheless defend them to the tilt under the grounds of racism, multiculturalism etc (ie left wing groups) will be the first ones on the chopping block should the Islamic Caliphate ever come to fruition. Look at Sweden and other European countries who are now trying to wind back multiculti PC as they are seeing how quick their backyard is becoming a Muslim cesspool. The top five baby names in Swedish hospitals are mohommad or variations of-get the picture dink.The future belongs to those who are around to change it-when they are having 5 kids to your one where do you think that leaves you.I'll tell you where-up shit creek wearing a burqa.

Aren't we clever???????

Never thought humans were so dumb .

"-did you think 20 years ago that muslims would be beheading people on live tv. Did you think 20 years ago they would fly planes into buildings and bomb subways. "
I didn't think people calling themselves christian (god bless america) could use nuclear weapons on cities.

(it's okay-I'm sitting down-prepared for the moral equivalence argument)

that the best you got BS-lower than shark shit you are-I missed the part where you answered a question. Being left means never having to admit you are wrong,even when proven so

[kraka]

24.

um, 20 years ago I didn't think people calling themselves christians would ever drop nuclear bombs again and 20 years later I was right. Your post has no relevance to the context of this debate-as usual.

In any university, just try asking for the pornography masquerading as student news papers be stopped because it offends your Christian morality.

You'll here the jeers and laughing for weeks.

This PC lunacy is why the indigenous British want to leave:

http://travel.aol.co.uk/2012/04/15/almost-half-of-brits-want-to-emigrate/

The British are leaving in droves and 48% of those remaining want to leave if they could. Yet the population of Britian keeps increasing. Have a guess who is going and who is coming in?

There's debate going on here? Come on-menzies house is a forum for a right wing group hug.
kraka, I'm no fan of any religion. Especially Islam. But what are you suggesting- an immigration policy based on religion?

Captain Catholic - you finally had a GOOD IDEA!!!

And I agree with you - an immigration policy based on religion - keep the Islam cult out of this country.

The (wo)man's a freakin genius!!
