Get British or get out, ‘curry king’ tells fellow Muslims
2005-09-02
A leading Muslim told his fellow immigrants to “get out” of Britain if they do not respect British values, newspapers reported Thursday. Sir Gulam Noon, founder of the Noon Products ready-meals firm and dubbed the “curry king”, told Muslim immigrants to Britain they needed to recognise they were relative newcomers to British society. “If immigrants to Britain do not like that, the answer is simple. Get out,” the Indian-born 69-year-old said. “Go back to wherever you regard as your own country and leave the rest of us in peace.”

The Daily Mail and the Daily Express cited the comments made in the Financial Times business daily. Last month, the British govrnment launched a crackdown aimed at Islamist extremists fomenting, justifying and glorifying terrorism in response to the London bombings. On July 7, four British apparent suicide bombers left 56 people dead in attacks on the capital’s transport system. Three were of Pakistani origin while the fourth was a naturalised Jamaican. “I dearly want to see Muslims in my chosen country of domicile thriving as part of an integrated, intelligent, vibrant society,” Noon said. “This means answering our dilemma unequivocally by affirming our nationality as British but our religion as Muslim. It also means escaping our ghettos and assimilating fully into society.”

#11  He is of Indian origin.
Were he Pakistani or Bangladeshi, his attitude (and bank account) would perhaps be very different.

#6  Same message from a French minister in teh early 90s (who was born a black from Gabon): if you want to not assimilate and to keep your customs (including poligamy and genital mutilation) then return to your country.

#3  Just to add..In my mind it still remains an open question whether Muslims as a group will ever be able to really separate their spirtual life/religon from politics and western values.

Sir Gulam Noon has the right stuff and good curry. Rantberg quality...Quite a combo!
