They should find a little island somewhere and put them all there, maybe they can call it the isles of Islam or islamland. They can all live happily ever after there.
^^^^^ that was jest to the haters by the way^^^^^^
On a serious note, no they should not, our housing, benefits, jobs and NHS are already stretched to bursting point.

No they should not,it would only breed exploiters that cry Christian or have converted solely to get into uk without even practicing the belief system.
I personally think all Romanians Iraqis Polish Kurds Turks should be sent home,you don't see us getting any benefits in foreign countries,has the world gone ****ing mad?

Thanks for that clarification. So if they arrive in Spain and then come here we can send them back to Spain? dl

I don't think them being Christian has anything to do with it as we are a secular country. Also we have enough nut job christian imports from Africa already, I work with quite a few of them. Their literal interpretation of the bible is disturbing, manifested for example, in their views towards homosexuals.
I work with one such nurse who does not believe the world is millions of years old. When I asked what he then made of carbon dating, dinosaur fossils etc he said that all such evidence had been planted/faked by anti christian forces!!

But why Christians at all, do we value their lives more than others, what about non believer's, should they be left to perish?
For the lack of a better word is it not a bit racist and showing one religion favoritism over another?

Yes I understand that but why not Christians from other countries that have hardship, or should we rescue every Christian in the world just because of their faith?
But why Christians at all, do we value their lives more than others, what about non believer's, should they be left to perish?

I think you've missed the point, it's not because they are Christian. It's because they are facing religious persecution in their home country.

I think they should have freedom and security in their own country. I'm all for military intervention to protect a persecuted group or community.
As for asylum, with the best will in the world the UK is already stretched in resources and services. We can't be allowing any further influxes of foreign nationals, who neither understand the language or the culture. The Brits by and large are caring, compassionate and morally upstanding. However those qualities are not inexhaustible.

And if it's not got anything to do with religion then why is evey other word Christianity or religion etc, why not just say people that need asylum or not?
Iam not saying that they do or don't deserve to be helped but if I was to say lets give asylum to just the white people or only let girls in with blonde hair then I would be shot.
The fact that someone is religious has got nothing to do with it for me, the question is, simply do they need our help.
And as far as the Bishop goes, I think the fact that they are Christians HAS got something to do with it, I doubt it very much that if they were Muslim's he would be looking to save them.

O.k I'll try again, why does someone facing religious persecution deserve asylum over others that are just facing persecution?
And if it's not got anything to do with religion then why is evey other word Christianity or religion etc, why not just say people that need asylum or not?

David: yes, if they come through any other country we should deport them back there...and keep on doing so.
But we don't, because there are too many Martin 2005's about crying on their behalf.
There IS a reason why they all want to come here, it's not the climate, it's not that we have the jobs......I wonder what it could benefit them to come?

To help you out here are a few facts...
As you will see from below we are ranked 5th, YES FIFTH in the EU in terms of the number of asylum applications recieved (behind Belgium)
As you can see the don't 'all' (ludicrous claim) want to come here.
You are the living embodyment of all that's is wrong and cynical in this country. You couldn't care less about the facts, you have a narrow world view that cannot be challenged. Either that or you're just plain thick.
I now expect your usual bluster and childish response in order to avoid facing the facts
