| How do some Muslims see the UK? | |
| By: KerryD Date: November 13, 2025, 7:12 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I don't want to generalize and say that all Muslims see the UK | |
| as a lawless place; but if the three Muslim men accused of | |
| raping a woman on the Brighton seafront are guilty, I'd say some | |
| definitely see the UK as a place where anything goes. | |

| It doesn't make sense to me for Muslim men to be seeking asylum | |
| or safety in the UK while doing this to a woman. The same | |
| seafront (more or less) was also where someone was attacked at | |
| a Pride event. The police are looking for one man although there | |
| were two attackers. What's going on? | |

| I live in Brighton Kerry, I see the three men lived in other | |
| areas of the country. I guess it depends on what they are | |
| allowed to get away with in their own countries and surely if | |
| they are found guilty then it shows that there are consequences. | |
| Personally I don�t see how they can be found not guilty on this | |
| occasion. | |

| Brighton is the gay capital of the U.K. and Pride is a massive | |
| event now, it�s not surprising that there are problems from time | |
| to time as we often have problems with drunk people as we have a | |
| lot of clubs/ bars ect. This isn�t a new thing and it�s not | |
| always Muslims. | |
| I must admit that over the past few weeks I have tired of trying | |
| to defend the reputation of the U.K. to those who do not live | |
| here. On Christian board there are a number of members who paint | |
| such a bad picture and it�s all based on what they here in the | |
| press and videos on you tube, often as not the full picture of | |
| events is not seen so they think that Birmingham ( for example ) | |
| is 98% Muslim when they reality is much much lower. They think | |
| that everyone here is arrested for posting things on social | |
| media , when the reality is that a few people have crossed the | |
| line. We do have problems, like all nations. | |
| I think the reason people come here is because they have heard | |
| that they are provided for - money. It�s also the last port of | |
| call as they go through and are rejected elsewhere in Europe. We | |
| were kind and generous and now it�s exploited. | |

| It used to be here in the US that gay events were generally | |

| I think you're probably right. | |
| What's unfortunate is that when men from Muslim countries do bad | |
| things, it could make it harder for the other people who would | |
| like to live in the UK -- and some of them might have legitimate | |
| asylum claims too. | |
| You had mentioned before that you live in Brighton which is one | |
| reason I found this story interesting. | |
