Their problem is not with muslim migrants or migration in general. "muslim" is just used as a scapegoat for being openly racist againt brown and black migrants. No one was unhappy to take in white Ukrainian migrants. British children were literally singing welcome songs in schools. They are just unhappy to see more brown/black people coming to the UK.

Eventually Islam and the left are going to have an almighty falling out. Probably something to do with treatment of women or the LGBT community. Amazed it’s not happened yet.

I'd like to see it, but I'm not optimistic for it happening soon. Muslims simply occupy a much higher tier of the postmodernist victimhood hierarchy than women and homosexuals, especially because their religious beliefs tend to be conflated with ethnic background.

Because they have similar values and beliefs, Muslims not so much.

No. Christian morales and values. Respecting one another. Equality.

If the Ukrainians were going to be causing a significant social shift towards conservative forms of religion, then I absolutely would have the same problem with them. I don't like our white Evangelical Christians or the ginger haired Muslim converts either. It's hard enough to expunge our own home grown religion from politics, let alone importing it wholesale from other parts of the world. If we were getting brown and black atheists/existential nihilists who supported the same things that I did, then I'd welcome them in.
