Aye, the Black Country is North West of Birmingham.

I am intrigued this took more than half a day to reach here.

Though, some of the #foxnewsfacts are hilarious. It proves the very point that people can't and don't trust Fox News if they are able to discern from their half-truths.

I know this because I live in Dudley at the moment, which is in the heart of the Black Country, a lot (including myself) just see it as sort of outer Birmingham, but if I compared the Black Country to Birmingham I'd probably be shot here. :lol2:

Well by that definition, Yorkshire is in the Midlands.

But if someone say's "South West" in the context of England, then it solely refers to England. I've never heard anyone use South-West in the context of the entire UK, since someone in England will say that "Birmingham is the Midlands", Yorkshire is in the North, and Scotland is Scotland.

Aye, that was before we all saw the truth and converted to the one, true faith. Now Islamingham is the capital of the United Islamic Caliphate of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and we're preparing to launch a glorious jihad against Ireland.

“In Britain, it’s not just no-go zones, there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in,” Emerson said. “Parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to Muslim, religious Muslim attire.”

There has never been "Muslim religious police" that beat on anyone and they are trying to defame the cities of Great Britain which will lead to decreased tourism or other economic opportunities. It's defamation. What else do you call it?

It is slander, not just to the British Muslims who peacefully live within Birmingham, but the vast majority of people here who aren't of an Islamic background and happily co-exist with the Muslim minority.

What's your point? No one has said that this guy should be jailed for what he said, we're all ripping into him from within the boundaries of freedom of speech. No one has said ban his freedom speech, we're actually using our freedom of speech to criticize the way he has used his right to freedom of speech.

We're criticizing what he's saying, not if he should be allowed to say it.

Good thing it doesn't.

If we subscribe to the view, that people of your views like to pose, that "your rights end at mine", then defaming all Islam and spreading malicious mistruths, constitute a violation of personal rights upon myself, my country, and my fellow countrymen who are Muslim.
