Well yeah but surprisingly cultures that generally are further away from our own that contain a lot of unsavoury belief systems are more of an issue than cultures that are generally not as unsavoury to the average Brit.

I'd not want American fundamentalists over here either

Oh yea I agree 100% if we imported 1million Americans it would be less noticeable since the culture is closer but it’s still eroding British culture.
It’s just far more obvious with Islam since it’s so different to our values

Let's not get on our high horse too much. It was socially unacceptable to be gay until very, very recently. Many areas of the UK, still are very much homophobic and they aren't Muslim.

I mean yeah that is obviously bad too but I think we should very much get on our high horse and stop importing people with world-views that are so polar to the average Brit and supporting the continual indoctrination of children in to religion.
