Another thing that worries me and makes me nervous is how they all stay together in a group and are very secretive. They make things unfair also, like my brother was set an assignment for his course at Uni, and he was paired with a couple of Muslim guys, and apparantly they were just speaking in a different language and excluding my brother from the group, he nearly failed the assignment because of it. Its so ridiculous that they get away with this.
They are just tight nit like any other commnity on onother website i heard an austrailian guy complaing how he had to move from his little white town to a multi cultural adelaide or was it Sydney. Anyway there were lots of asians on his campus and they all spoke there own languages with eachother and stayed in a group and it was hard for him to make freinds and he was ranting on about how there should be a "white austrailia" and english should only be used. he just felt left out but he sounded like a rascist.

Most said Pakistani but also Muslim. I explained the difference between religious views and nationality, but they stuck with what they said, that Muslim was a nationality in there eyes and, this is the same as when they said Pakistani, that although they were born in England, they do not consider themselves English. I think this is a really bad sign, they seem to think our rules don't apply. At least in America there is a greater patriotism so people from all religious faiths will say they are American.
Its called the ummah or umma actually. Its some muslim thing i forget exactly but its like a "country" or nation thing for all muslims to rally around, i dont know the specifics sorry.
