Muslim protests outside Westminster Abbey during the royal wedding? Seriously?

I'm not a xenophobe, and I'm certainly not racist, but one thing that always annoys me is when foreigners move over to the UK, and attempt to turn it into their own country. For example, you have whole areas of some cities which are almost exclusively inhabited by Asians, who do everything they can to shape their community into what it would be in their own country. Now, I'm not against their culture, but if they wanted to live somewhere like their own country, what are they doing over here? The whole reason why people choose to immigrate to the UK is because it's popular, and it's British. How can it remain popular and British if it is essentially turned into a different country? More to the point, why would anyone want to leave their country and basically take it with them?

There's been rather a lot in the news recently about issues such as this, with the most obvious example being the actual ban of face-covering garments in France, including the burkha. Now, I personally agree with the French on this. I'm not disrespecting your religion or your culture, you can do whatever you like in your own country, but I do think you're disrespecting the culture of the country you live in just going over and not playing ball.

Somehing else which has annoyed me in the last week are reports that a group of foreigners were planning to picket Westminster Abbey tomorrow for the royal wedding. This is, quite honestly, outrageous. Protest against the country you decided to move to? The royal family is the most British thing in GB, so protesting against them is seriously like biting the hand that feeds. If you don't like what makes Britain British, you don't have to stick around for it! You can always go home, where you cando whatever your culture dictates without alienating the country you moved to. It's as simple as that.

I reiterate, I am not racist, I just don't think that white, middle-class, British Christians ought to be persecuted in order that the minorities might be kept happy. It was their choice to emigrate and as such they ought to be willing to play the game.
