well that depends of if your Christian or not. If you're not then it doesn't influence you (except if you're in politics lol)

You are generalizing icy, I know many people that still wear a hat to church and eat fish on Friday. I know plenty of muslims that drink smoke and gamble too. That is a bit naive in this day and age

Our religion is Christian yet it doesn't dominate what we eat, or our legal system, what we wear, etc, what we may or may not do.

I think it does, to a very large degree.

Islam is a bit more than just a faith. It's a whole set of religious, social, ethical and moral way of life.

That's pretty much sums up any religion

It pretty much sums up every culture and nationality too.

True I was also going to say it could sum up everything even Vegetariansm too lol

I can't see any credible reference to where Sharia Law has been introduced in the UK.

your experience is at a small local level, I am talking about as a large group

What large group specifically?

Apart from Lakemba, there is no larger "group" than my area. Not exactly a small local area as every business I shop with, every service I have performed, every park I go to etc is Muslim dominated. 

I love the colourfulness of their culture - it makes life more interesting in my part of the world.

Of course I'm generalising.

Your topic is after all, general. Your title is  "Muslims Immigrating to Australia" not "Certain Muslims That Drink Smoke And Gamble Immigrating To Australia...

I actually don't know any Christians that still religiously eat fish on Friday and go to Church on Sundays, although I know one or three Muslims that love to drink smoke and gamble.

 

Generally speaking.
