Muslim Police in Muslim areas? Are we losing control of our country?

And attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime.

If this is so, then are all Jehovah's Witnesses attempting to commit a hate crime when they knock on your door?

so where has logics post gone, ?

So why not a Muslim Prime Minister one day?

So you're saying that we're losing control of the country (your own words) because by the law of averages one day in the future we'll probably have a Muslim PM? Kind of weak, don't you think?

Besides having a head of the executive as a Muslim is actually kind of different from losing control of the country.

(*Dodges projectiles*)

No, seriously, think about it. Anyone who gets to that position needs to climb the greasy pole of a political party: any candidate with a hint at extremism or radicalism would be dropped like a hot potatoe, and it would (eventually, but not necessarily immediately) be subject to democratic election.

I agree with codger

[Haggisdj]

Considering the fuss that 2.7% of the population make, don't like this, change that; what would it be like if it was 27%???

[Kromovaracun]

People from all sections of the population whinge. Take a look around AB: Loads of 'majority' people are capable of making badly informed rants and ludicrously exaggerated claims too.

All it needs is for there to be an increasinging number of Muslim MPs, who vote in a leader, he then returns the favour by surrounding himself with them on his cabinet.

Heh Ho! Democracy soon to fly out of the window.

Hitler managed it.

So yes, you are basically saying this:

"By the law of averages, there' s a chance we'll probably have a Muslim prime minister one day, therefore we're losing control of the country."

Doesn't this strike you as a little tenuous?

Hitler managed it

Hitler was elected on a massive wave of popular support (which was dipping slightly when he became Chancellor to be fair but it was still there). I sincerely doubt a Muslim candidate could receive the same in contemporary Britain.

Plus remember that Hitler was elected at a time when democracy was extremely unpopular in Germany, so his anti-democratic measures actually commanded a considerable amount of public support at the time. Could you say the same for the modern UK?

All it needs is for there to be an increasing number of Muslim MPs, who vote in a leader,

It isn't just MPs who elect leaders. I'm not quite sure how it works in the tories, but in the Labour party there's an internal electoral college in which votes from MPs and rank-and-file members are taken into account.

Even despite that, your argument here essentially rests on the assumption that Muslims will become the largest voting bloc in a majority of constituencies (or within one of the two main parties). Which as I say is impossible.
