Can a woman in Afghanistan can get a taxi on any day of the year?
Load More Replies...I don't know; this is about what Islam has done to improve the UK. If Afghanistan is part of the UK, then the answer is yes. Only, I'm pretty sure Afghanistan is rather a long way away from these septic isles. Please correct my geography if I'm mistaken. 😉
Yeah, only, I don't know if you've noticed, but Afghanistan isn't actually part of the UK? And that those sickeningly dishonorable family vengeance attacks are criminal offences here in the UK, along with female genital mutliation?
"The woke authorities" 😂- what, you accuse the UK authorities of being aware of racism and other forms of social injustice? 😬 Don't be daft. Meanwhile, here are the current Crown Prosecution Service guidelines, in case anyone's mistaken enough to think you've got any sort of point: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/so-called-honour-based-abuse
Stereotyping all members as no different than the worst among a certain group would condemn us all.
A Muslim family in my town open their cafe on Christmas day, to give free dinners to the homeless and people on their own. Every year. They give gifts to their "customers" as well.
Well said, Eunice - that is typical Muslim behaviour.

You see, we know that well over 99.9% of British Muslims are anti-terrorist and also much less inclined to be drunk and disorderly than the rest of us. I'd rather have Muslims living next door to me than someone permanently flying the St George's cross 🏴 (it's okay for sports events and 23rd April, but permanently? ... ). But you carry on with your ignorant hate-mongering bigotry, Jayjay; nothing I can say will stop you. 😂
There should be nothing wrong with flying the national flag. The point you make about Ireland is worth emphasising - no terrorists will ever succeed with violence against a democracy.
There *should* be nothing wrong with flying the English flag in England, only rather too many of those who do so all the time are moronic racist thugs. I'm English and I live in England. I know. As for Ireland: look, almost none of the population of the island of Ireland were terrorists. Unfortunately for the thousands of dead, "almost none" is not the same as "actually none". They were never trying to defeat a democracy in any case - they were just trying to re-unite Ireland. A quite different endeavour.
Math…. Astronomy……..kebab shops……. Those little pastry things known as tulumba all covered in syrup ❤️ and many other things.
I'm pretty sure most of those Greeks running the kebab shops when I was a teenager weren't Muslim. 😉
Load More Replies...You used roman numerals before. The number's used now come from the Arabic language very similar to their numerals. I think that's what @peeppeep the duck meant.
Muslim scholars did come up with algebra, and introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europeans.
The Muslim rulers of India were very liberal for the time. They encouraged money-making trade, scholarship, and religious freedom and certainly didn't invent slavery. But you do you, Jayjay - keep spouting your ignorant hate-mongering bigotry. 🤣
Because people are people and people are good, not even for what they provide but for who they are. Stop dehumanising people who look different to you
Islam does none of what you claim. Some professed Muslims do, certainly. But then again, some professed Christians are just as filled with malice towards gays and women.
By the way, *I* have pronouns: *I* and *me*. *You*, too. *I* wish *I *understood why so many of *you* snowflakes get triggered by unremarkable linguistic features. 😁
Sure, sure, downvote me and ignore the hate-mongering alleged Christians, why don't you? https://godhatesfags.com/ 😁 All the monotheist scriptures are filled with hatred towards gays and women, if you want to cherry pick. For some reason, very few Jews seem to pay much attention to that sort of hate-mongering (Yay! Good for the Jews! - yeah, yeah, I know about the sex segregation and all that, but there's no hatred in it, not even slightly), but plenty of supposed Christians and Muslims do. Other Christians and Muslims pick other parts of the scriptures to show why hating on anyone is Just Plain Wrong.
It has been a while since any were chucked off a building by someone claiming to be following the bible though.
Apatheist, here in the UK when gays get murdered for being gay, it's never the Muslims who are guilty. There's a horrible list of victims of homophobic attacks here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5080164.stm and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LGBT_people_in_the_United_Kingdom#2010_onwards
Charbadar - no one here is defending that behavior. What they're defending is that most people are decent and do not kill daughters and stone people. Everything you've listed is horrific behavior. But it should be obvious that 2 billion people are not doing these things. It's really just a simple exercise in logic (more brain usage than washing). And maybe a bit of understanding that no good ever came from painting a huge group of people as all no different than the worst among them.
You can get a taxi from anywhere to anywhere at any time on every day of the year, at least where we live in the West Midlands.
We have one of the best NHS hospitals, and NHS dentists available, I'm starting to think we are blessed. Seriously!
Load More Replies...lots of great restaraunts, many of which let you take your own alcohol in rather than having a license, which saves plenty of money. and many of those resaraunts will open on Christmas day to give food, shelter and company to homeless and lonely people
just imagine wrighting 24.12.2025 in roman letters. I know it came from India, but Islam was the conduit
wait - the hindu immigrants from india don't work on christmas? who knew?
Of course someone who is probably "Christian" thinks religion should be transactional.
even in Turkiye, where the %90 of the population is muslim, u cant get a taxi on new years (we dont celebrate x-mas but we do celebrate new years with santa, threes, elves and all...) .and islam does not have any positive impact in Turkiye either. so u fork off
Are you sure you're not confusing "Islam" with "Recep Tayyip Erdoğan"? 😉
Load More Replies...Ah yes - of course, criticise a nasty dictator, and get downvoted, why not?
Thank you Giku T. Some people here have an idealized vision on Islam, some hate it, but most here don't have the experience on how it works when you live there.
What exactly is your aim anyway? Encouraging people to demonize the entire group of 2 billion people rather than the subsets that engage in the problematic behavior? Because you sound like you want them all painted with the same brush, despite your occasional aside that there are exceptions among the "they" you're pointing your fingers at. Sorry you've had a bad experience, but stereotyping always harms good people.
This is about the positive effects of Islam on the UK. Now, I do live "there" - in the UK, that is. Muslims don't stone women to death in the UK, do drive taxis over Christmas, and you can be pretty certain they've not touched any alcohol either. But of course, you can only ever say bad things about Muslims because you're an ignorant hate-mongering bigot, so don't let me stop you. 😆
🤣 So I make a comment about how Muslims in the UK are almost all good people and those who say otherwise are ignorant hate-mongering bigots, and I get downvoted? Yep, bigotry is alive and well. 🙄
Humor, comedy, and laughter aren’t just enjoyable, they also hold immense benefits for our physical and mental health, as well as our social lives. If you feel better after a night of roaring great laughs with your pals, a good stand-up show, or watching your fave go-to comedy TV show, it’s not just the placebo effect at work. Laughing has measurable positive impacts on your body.
Verywell Mind explains that laughter strengthens your immune system, making you more resilient to getting ill and developing serious diseases. This happens by increasing antibody-producing cells and enhancing the effectiveness of T-cells. Meanwhile, your heart also benefits, as daily laughter reduces the chance of developing cardiovascular disease.
Paraphrasing Monty Python.What did the Victorians ever do for us?
When combined with physical activity (for example, laughter yoga, where you simulate laughter), you also decrease stress and reduce your body weight, which is good for overall health and fitness.
It’s exactly by reducing the risk of various diseases that laughter is speculated to increase overall longevity.
Laughter also improves a person’s pain tolerance and gives your abdominal (core) muscles, shoulders, and diaphragm a workout.
That said, being even a superfan of comedy shouldn’t be an excuse to avoid working out: you need around 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week to stay healthy, according to the CDC.
Read the room and use good judgment when it comes to this. Is someone obviously speaking and/or acting in a threatening manner? Is anyone obviously being targeted and (potentially) hurt by someone else’s behavior? In that case, speak up/step up. Otherwise mind your own business.
It’s not just your body that benefits from consistent laughter and living surrounded by good humor. Laughing a lot lowers the amount of the stress hormone cortisol in your body, alters levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, and releases endorphins. This can improve the situation of people suffering from depression.
What's more, laughter is a great way to connect with others, and those positive, deep relationships make you more resilient to stress in the long run.

The ‘No Context Brits’ project has grown by leaps and bounds over the years. On X (formerly Twitter), it has a whopping 1.8 million followers from all over the world, from Brits who love a good laugh about their own culture to people living abroad and hoping to learn a bit more about life in the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the project’s Instagram account has 127k followers at the time of writing.
The team curating all of the content has also published two books: Everything is Great: The Weird, Wild and Wonderful World of Modern Britain and How to Really be a Brit: The Unofficial Citizenship Test. They also have a website where you can get merch related to the project if you’re a die-hard fan.
During a previous interview with Bored Panda, the creator of No Context Brits told a colleague of ours that they run a few successful Twitter accounts “specializing in British humor.”
They then thought that “one that encapsulated a combination of all of them would go down well, especially considering the current mood of the country, which isn’t particularly great at the best of times.” This was back in 2021 when many countries, the UK included, faced seemingly endless lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the creator of ‘No Context Brits,’ they consider the content they share online as “British humor at its best.” They told Bored Panda that this humor is “ironic, witty, sarcastic, and self-deprecating with lots of puns and innuendos thrown in for good measure.”
They added that “the ability to laugh at ourselves is what sets us apart from the rest of the world and this account celebrates that fact.”
Which of these no-context pics about British life did you find the most amusing? Which ones were so good that you couldn’t help but send them to your family or friends?
Have you ever been to the UK on vacation or lived there for a longer time? Do we have any Pandas reading this right now who currently reside in the UK?
What do you love most about British culture and comedy? What makes it unique for you? We can’t wait to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share them in the comments while we get ourselves a big mug of tea.
I cannot blame him. Buy one pint and you do not get much change out of a fiver these days.
The population of London is 8.866 million, and there are 86400 seconds in a day, which means you'd need to meet 103 people per second to do this, or about 10 milliseconds per person. Assuming everyone was in a straight line with half a metre of space each, you'd need to travel the line at 115mph, presumably with your hand outstretched to high five everyone at high speed.
For those wondering: "brown bread" = cockney rhyming slang for "dead".
