So I do believe I admitted I was wrong…..are you satisfied yet? You want me to do some other penance to make up that I said Arab when I meant to say Muslim?

Well dewsh nozzle number #2, since you like to cite my posts if you read on page 322 I admitted I was wrong. The little lady on Fox this morning said 15% if the British population is now Arab. I should have know better and double check. I carried her statement to include Arab when I meant Muslim. I addresse this on pages 323 and 324. I should say I was conflating Arab and Muslim.
Once again are you satisfied. I mean to deal with two certified Fact Checkers is a tough task. Glad to know that you can’t read where I admitted my error and continue to be basically a dick like Obtuse.

I spent 8 years in Saudi and Kuwait, did 6 weeks in Lahore and Karachi Pakistan in 1995. Just a general observation, there are more crazies in Pakistan than Sunni Arabia. If that helps the dialogue

vast majority of the Muslims in the UK are Pakistani, not Arab Immigrants, and the majority of them were either born in England or immigrated in the 50s and 60s.
I am not sure vast majority is correct in England.
In 2021 Pakistanis totaled 1.57 million in England. With 3.8 million muslims living in England in 2021 and assuming all Pakistanis identity as muslim (doubt its 100% but still high) there are at least 2.2 million non-Pakistani muslims in England.
The Bangladeshi only made up 630,000 of that 2.2 million (also assuming all are muslim which they aren’t but still high).
Very likely the remaining 1:6 million aren’t all arabs, but I think the number of actual Arabs in England is severely understated. They are less likely to be integrated into society being more recent and many illegal.
Pakistanis are maybe still a plurality of muslims in England but not the majority and seem to be still losing ground.
That’s all before any additions from the below:
-England also had 3.4 million who didn’t state their religion (not stating no religion but religion not stated). Like sone of the “other” categories under ethnicity that leaves open additional numbers across religions.
-I also don’t know how their census counts illegals or if possible.

This is a true statement.

Did Hamas endanger these babies for their propaganda war?
Of course they did. The Israelis offered both to provide fuel directly to the hospital as well as assist in the evacuation and Hamas told them to pack sand.

They’re too busy arguing over how many Muslims and/or Arabs are in London and the UK. A key statistic apparently as it pertains to Gaza.

Are you really asking this? It's because they Jewish people are Jews. That is their name. There is nothing pejorative about it. It's like calling someone a Catholic or an Italian. "Japs" is an abbreviation that has an insulting or pejorative connotation. While that is subjective, it's definitely not the proper name for the Japanese people.

Trust me I don’t want to revisit it with the self appointed fact checkers that I ended up 3 different times admitting I conflated Arab and Muslim
For those that want an update picture if IDF advances in Gaza:

Hezbollah continues to climb the escalation ladder against Israel. Anti-tank guided missiles, rockets, mortars, drones. Israeli officials tell me the northern efforts have been about defense. “Focused responses to ongoing attacks.” That could soon change.

This is the correct answer. But I just don't see Japs as that pejorative. It's just a short abbreviation of Japanese. To the extent that it is pejorative, Japan earned it. I don't get upset with Yanks, and I really doubt that the Japanese get all of that upset with Japs.
