To be british or not to be british that is the question?
Feel like I already fallen behind, not posted any thing for the last few day (not a good start). So I got to respect out to all the blogstar who blogs daily.
Last Friday woke up for work. Really had to force myself to get up and go work. Finally got myself into work and sat in a corner whilst trying to catch up with sleep. Well short sleep as most of my co-worker shouting the head off about some thing. Started to listen and found it interesting.
They had difference of views about “ Do you consider yourself as British or the country you originate from (in my case Bengali)?”. My reaction to that was you shouldn’t support your clams from the colour of you passport. It don’t matter if you have a “red” passport but it a matter of a fact were your heart lays. Then there comment is “why don’t you get out of this country since you have no feelings for it?” I got respect for this country and what it has provided me. It just a feeling that I cannot explain, just only felt. Its like marmalade, you either like it or hate it but cant explain why that is.
I will leave this one to you, what do you think?

I wouldn’t refer myself to be British, mainly because I regard myself as a Muslim. Yes I live in Britain but I live my life according to Islam and submit my will to one God.
Living in Britain does not restrict me to practise my religion, as Islamic has similar (in some cases better) guidelines and I believe Britons can benefit highly if they were to implement Islamic values to their daily lives.
Specially the financial aspects of this country is messed up! tax for this tax for that, no wonder we are all in constant stress over debt!
