Free Movement of EU Citizens To Britain Will End in 2019 (standard.co.uk)
Free movement of EU citizens to Britain will end when the country leaves the EU in March 2019, Theresa May's spokesman said Monday, moving to contain a Cabinet row over immigration after Brexit. From a report: Downing Street (headquarters of the government of the United Kingdom) said on Monday it was "wrong" to suggest free movement would "continue as it is now" once Britain leaves the EU. It comes following days of confusion and rumours of infighting between Cabinet colleagues over the crucial issue of immigration after Brexit.
Next week they will say something different. The only thing that this current UK government has been consistent about is pissing into the wind.
4.4% of the population of the United Kingdom is Muslims. That would mean the birth rate of British Muslim women of childbearing age over the next 10 years would have to be astronomical.

Most Muslims in the UK come from the Commonwealth.
With very little paper work they receive an UK resident permit, even citizenship and also a passport if they want.
The EU has absolutely nothing to do with the UK's perceived "Muslim problem".

Christian Caliphate. Now you're the ignorant one.
..." Second there is Gelasius' Two Swords theory.
First in Christianity there are scriptural distinctions between church and state: "Render onto Caesar that which is Caesars
Except in very few places for very short times there were always secular and ecumenical leaders - and if you knew your history you would now that there was violence at times between the two.
The Caliphate is something that has NEVER existed in Christianity. (And if you bring up the Papacy you obviously have very limited knowledge of Western Civilization and how it was structured.)

In the case of both Greenland and Iceland, both have done very well after leaving the EU.
Greenland is a frozen rock of fifty thousand souls that relies on Danish subsidies and selling fishing rights that it could never defend anyway.
Iceland never joined the EU, and is still negotiating to do so. It has, however, been a member of the European Free Trade Area since 1994. Whatever you think about it's economy, EU , or even EEC membership has not been a factor. It isn't even showing particular objections to it's current trade status as far as I know.
You can say they are nothing alike, but that is obviously false. The economies are different, obviously, but the reasons for their departure is the same.
One never departed, the other is a technicality of no great importance.
The EU has gone well beyond it's original trade capacity and went into full on social policy. Which is why other members of the EU have been pushing back very hard against policies the EU is imposing. Poland is probably the most vocal example, but not the only example.
Your factual deficiencies aside, I am not aware of either Iceland or Greenland raising any particular objections to any EU Social Policies.
My posts are not really to debate the metrics of each member, former member, but to argue against GP who gave a faulty piece of ad hominem against the UK for their decision to leave.
Then why include such untrue statements in them? You would be well advised to apologize for your mistaken assertions instead.
That leave vote as in the works for a very long time with a whole lot of the populace getting out.
Actually, it was under 75% turnout, and a bare majority. Without a negotiated plan. Disdain for that process is justified.
Further, the doom and gloom irrationality of GP is discounted completely by other members who _did_ leave and have not crashed and burned because of it.
But s.petry, there really are none. Greenland? Still sucking at Copenhagen's teat, Algeria? Yeah, an Islamic oil satrapy. Iceland? Never an EU member, still a member of the free trade zone.
You can have your own opinions. But not your own facts.
