Read my comment again, SBW. I did not make an assertion. I asked a question in response to Ken's comment "As to the British Empire, the British no longer have a backbone, as shown by the current muslim invasion."
My question in response was "Maybe you think the next president will throw them out and demonstrate American backbone?"
Please note the question mark.
The number of Muslims in the UK is as shown: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_Kingdom
Probably around 3 million plus by now. That's pretty much the same number as us right now - not 5 times as many. Perhaps you have a link that proves that statement of yours?
I agree that many Muslims do not integrate in any country. They want to emigrate but not integrate into the new culture, style of dress, or customs. This is a great pity as the burka and face veils arouse suspicion. The aggressive behaviour of some Muslims is to be deplored; the Boston bombings here and the Paris and Brussels attacks in Europe are but some examples. Sweden has already begun to deport Muslims who cause trouble, plus they have feral Muslim kids running wild around railroad stations stabbing and stealing from passengers. Sweden thought they were helping refugees fleeing from a war, what they got was nothing but trouble - along with many other European countries who offered sanctuary. Please note that the British took very few but they did give a great deal of money to aid refugees who fled to Turkey, Jordan, and other Arab countries.

The two carriers the Royal Navy is building will be the most advanced ships in the world including the US navy.The new destroyers are state of the art.Where they lack is in frigates and smaller shore defence vehicles.As for allies, of course the US has allies everywhere but arguably none so reliable as the UK. Think of recent battles, which country was by the side of the US.Germany? No chance. France? Weren't they called something like cheese eating yellow bellies.The UK has cut back as has many countries but its highly trained professional army, albeit smaller, would be worth fighting alongside.
