Rand Hobart Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I apologise if this point has been raised as I haven't trawled the whole thread. With regard to the non alcoholic social room at the uni. In a country where integration has all but failed, and with a government trying desperately to encourage "social cohesion", how does encouraging Muslims to only socialise with other Muslims help?

Do you imagine that non muslims will be barred from going into this social room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Hobart Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Do you imagine that non muslims will be barred from going into this social room? Of course not. But how many none muslim students are T Total and happy to spend an evening without alcohol? Unless you mix with different non muslim students than I do, once any novelty is worn off they will hardly ever go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 London Met uni is considering banning alcohol in parts of its campus for ALL students in an attempt to attract more Muslim students. More appeasement so that a minority can have their views imposed on the majority! 20% of the population are Muslims so their views could be imposed on the remaining 80%!

I'm not a student anymore, but I'd be surprised and amused to find any student that would spend an entire evening in a common room. The common rooms are generally used (in my experience) between lectures. In which case I can't see why many students would have a problem going into an alcohol free one, I never drank in any common room, I'd always go to the university bar/students union/someones house to do that.

No, it's not. It's considering banning the sale of alcohol on parts of it's campus. More appeasement so that a minority can have their views imposed on the majority! 10% of the population are Muslims so their views could be imposed on the remaining 80%! Yeah, look at the imposition, they'll have to walk all the way to several hundred metres away if they have a burning desire to buy a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I thought this had already been exposed as not something demanded by Muslim students but something proposed by one of their left wing politically correct senior staff in the name of being culturally sensitive. AFAIK even the head of the Muslim Student Society or whatever it is told him to stop being a pillock and giving Muslim students a bad name.

Susil Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Make up your mind whether its 10% or 20%. Also, who dragged up this thread and why??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arh, 10% is a typo, its 20% as its 1/5 of the uni's population is Muslim according to the news report, but its pretty obvious it was a typo as the percentages only added up to 90%. I said 10% and remaining 80% before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
