UK's Muslims and the debate over their 'Britishness'

British Prime Minister David Cameron has called on Muslims in his country to recognise their "Britishness", saying the UK faces an "existential" terrorist threat.
His comments came just days after an entire Muslim family flew to Syria to join ISIL.
Yet it appears his words have fallen on deaf ears.
Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports from Luton.

Britishness and Islam dont mix. It is like water and oil.

This place looks more like a middle eastern town than a British town. It’s sad to see this.

These people never integrate no matter where in the world.

It would seem that we are losing britain one city and town at a time. This country is finished.

Al Jazeera - will Qatar allow any non Muslim to have similar rights enjoyed by a British Muslim?

[DanLetts]

Entire swaths of England have been lost to Islam.  Depressing.

As a Muslim, I condemn the Muslims who hypocritically want the material benefits in living in Britain but don't want to intigrate but lead separate lives by dividing communities.

If they want to lead separately and to always concentrate on issues that divide, they should vote with their feet and go back to their home countries/ ancestral lands and see how living in a third world country is like.

They do not want to intergrate, why move to the UK in the first place!!

Al-Jazeera seem to have put a positive spin on Salafism in Luton, when we think of them we think of the hate and child abuse the bring.

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within !!

oh hey, isn't this diversity and multi-culturalism just wonderful !!!

[stormy_blink]

If they don’t like UK then they should have stayed where they are and build their country instead of flying.

'We have good life here' does he know what he just admitted.

When I came to London, i thought I came to Bangladesh or Pakistan xD
Scary story to say, no hate at all, but you forget that you are in

Obviously they're not British lol

[marclaw]

We have two choices, fight these people or start a dialogue with them.Either way it seems the argument is on their side.They are here and we do not know how to handle them.

[IceBoiiDior-sefi]

Kudos to China and India they knew how to deal with these people

[Slice]

The only group of people who’ve completely failed to integrate into British society.
