Should Arabic be made the second official language of the UK?

Question

I think absolutely. There are at least 20 million Muslims in the UK. Not everyone needs to speak English. Arabic should definitely be the second official language of England. What do you think?

What did @purplepoppy just tell you? so there you go

Not at all. If you move to Spain, don't expect everyone else to learn your language; you learn Spanish! If you don't want to learn English and become part of their culture, move back to your native country. This is EXACTLY the attitude that makes people resent immigrants.

mstbooblover · Answer

Why choose Arabic as second "official" language? Imagining against odds such a need, and considering UK's colonial past, What about Urdu, Hindi, Tamul, Punjabi, etc?

Whether we like it or not, English has anyway become kind of a very widespread international language, allowing people of any origin being able to communicate basically with each other. And that's the purpose of a language, isn't it?

By the way, nothing prevents anyone to learn Arabic, be it to study the Coran or to travel in Arabic speaking countries. This is still forgetting there are many variants of Arabic, not all very compatible with each other...

purplepoppy · Answer

The UK doesn't have an official language. English is the de facto but Welsh, Scots, and Cornish all have legal status. Arab isn't a native language so no.

molonski2 · Answer

Absolutely NOT , and they best start to be trimming those 20 mill , thats a completely ludicrous suggestion..

UK speaks English and English and English , no other language required , the place really is as bad as they have been telling me here..

Just an horrendous suggestion.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Id grant them their own island before they take it over. Arabs have the money and man power and already have done much damage to the society.

Blending cultures like that is too much, the women pay the price. that is not right.

language I don't care.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, for a simple reason. Not all Muslims speak Arabic. Many come from English speaking countries, or countries of other languages like Persian (Iran), Urdu (Pakistan), Somali (Somalia), Indonesian (Indonesia) and others.

It's a mistake to think Muslims and Arabic go together. They don't.

FreyaRed · Answer

Interesting that only small amount of Muslims speak Arabic. Most Muslims read their fairy tale book in Arabic without understanding it or with translated meaning. It's like reading bible in Latin without knowing a word in Latin.
Even though I understand the provocative meaning of this question. From rational perspective is Arabic absolutely useless and it's verbally unappealing. Arabic sound for me like squealing of wild boar horde looking for food.

Barry88 · Answer

No, because to what extent would you want to facilitate a second official language? Should court trials be possible in that language? Do bus drivers need to speak both languages? And there are only about 4 million Muslims in the UK. And many of those don't speak Arabic, but rather Urdu, Hindi, or another South Asian language.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Arabic as a first language makes about 5% of the world population. There's also a different writing system to it.
Pointless.
As for your society's implications:
If one continues to not integrate others, the others will continue to stay separated. It's a thing that goes both directions.

Likely of all Europe, because of decades of bad policy while they ridicule the US that they depend on for security. Nothing could possibly go wrong there..

lilBigPotato · Answer

Nonsense. If you want to live in a country then you should learn the language of that country. Which is by the way mandatory anyway if you want to get the citizenship. So if you don't want to do that, go somewhere else.

darkcloud1945 · Answer

They want Arabic only; they are very demanding. It is Islam's way only. Besides, the government of the UK is giving its country away every day, and Sharia law was already proposed a couple of years ago. It is 2 or 3 % of the population that is pushing this crap both there and here in the GOOD OLD USA

MrChinaski · Answer

There are about 4 million Muslims in the UK, or about 6%. A large majority of them do not speak Arabic as their main language.

If you are going to ask questions designed solely to inflame at least get your facts right.

Kaneki05 · Answer

No way, they can go to an Arabic country if they want that and for some obvious reason they won't want to...

Brian5 · Answer

Just because you are Muslim doesn’t mean that you are Arabic. I believe that when someone decides to move to another country that they were not born in they should assimilate into that country fully including adopting the native language. If they left their Country because they were forced out why would you want to turn the place you move to the same as where you came from.

Lesbologist · Answer

I'm surprised they haven't done that already. Doesn't matter what prime minister they get, the replacement is real. So who's the new White in charge that doesn't care about the whites?

jshm2 · Answer

Lol, get your head out your ass, you racist prick. Most of the Muslims in the UK are not Arab. In fact no other group is more diverse in language than Muslims. Most are multilingual.

Agape93 · Answer

Nope. But I do think they should all be shipped to the isle of dogs, and quarantined there. Let Islam have its own kicro nation there in an easily firebombed place

slatyb · Answer

There are approximately 4 million, about 6% of the population. That's what you get for colonizing India.

Xoirwinkan · Answer

Absolutely not. Even if it weren't a major political issue, most Muslims don't even speak Arabic.

strateguy632 · Answer

no because they need to respect the country. to fit in. not be separated.

DonaldDarko · Answer

No because no one but actual British people should be there at all.

findacure4wokeness · Answer

Go back to the middle east, The UK isn't yours. Thanks for showing everyone your sense of entitlement.

Anonymous · Answer

No - because:  - Arabs are not native in the UK - Not all the Muslims in the UK are Arabs (some Muslims are Turks, Persians, Indonesians, Berbers, Bosnians, Albanians, Kurds, Nubian etc).

Alexandrubaschet08 · Answer

NO! Because ROMANIAN is the second moust spoken language in UK!

YesIthinkIwill · Answer

Firstly, it's ~6m, so not sure where that 20m figure comes from, but it's outrageous.

I think the question should be - 'can all of those Muslims in England speak English?'

That's the direction it should go.

exitseven · Answer

No, if you want to live here you need to speak American. If you do not want to then leave.
