    I have to be honest,if this is a Christian Country? then surely different religions and cultures who choose to come to the British Isles, can"all" be bit more tolerant of mixed relationships? if we are all to live together in England is this not bound to be a situation that can happen? sorry not being racist, I am just being realistic that one day, this country will be much more populated by immigrants, so it may help if soaps show the nicer side of a mixed relationship.
    If GAry and Alya want to get together, then maybe her family should accept this is what can happen when you live in a Christian country, the risk of different cultures is inevetible, maybe it would be an idea for the soaps to show that there are some Muslims who spend time trying to intergrate into English society instead of G&A looking as if it's wrong?

    When the British were in India they kept all their culture and traditions. A lot of the traditions and customs still stand. So different cultures and religions are fine its part of you. Its only when they break laws that I have a concern.

    Speaking as an atheist myself, I really couldn't care less whether people see themselves as Christian, Muslim, Hindu or whatever. As long as what they do doesn't interfere with other people or break the law I have no objection to them following their own religion.

    Yea but was Britain in charge of India so to speak, and that the Indians had to "cow tow" to the Brits?
    So the Brits could technically speaking keep their cultures, I guess if the day ever comes we become a Muslim nation, we may have to start changing our ways!! can it happen, well considering how many muslims are now in England, it may bot be to far off!

    I'm not even going to quote the above post as I find it so offensive.

    You won't find much sympathy for those views here. Maybe you should try the Daily Fail's comment threads?

    According the government's own statistics here and here, the percentage of Muslims in England and Wales in 2013 was 4.7% (although the recent propaganda in the right-wing media would have us believe it's many times that). The only thing the current frenzy being whipped up by those with an agenda is going to achieve is a reduction in integration between cultures.

    I'm putting you on ignore now so I don't have to see any more of your posts.

    Very sensitive subject I can see, but it's nice that England is still (for now) a free country and we are allowed free speech, and I like to enjoy my tv programmes and at times, feel we are being led into something a bit uncomfortable.
    Do I want to watch a young couple sneaking about on Tv just because they may like each other, not really, not when the problem is a rather old fashioned one and they are scared to be seen.
    It's not as if they have committed a crime and need to sneak.
    This is why I felt compelled to have my "free speech"
    Aplogies to those who felt I was offensive.
