What you state about Muslims in Japan not true mate. I think you are quoting a Facebook post containing those" facts" but it's not true. There are Muslims and mosques in Japan. They are not subject to any discriminatory laws. Japan has had to finally allow immigration because their own birth rate is so low. Some of these workers are Muslim. A lot work in the care sector. 

My son has been going there years its just things i remember him telling me ages ago.....i guess its changed now.

Did you find it expensive out there kev ?

Not at all Joe, that steak dinner i put up was £6, the ramen about £8 with all the extras.. train tickets to travel around were cheap as well. Compared to say London or New York you can eat and travel around really cheaply, it is after all a massive and fairly westernised city so not comparable to Thailand etc for cost imo

My son does a lot of business in Japan and is over there often he really rates the place as well as the people.....he always says that for a heavily populated city Tokyo puts London to shame regards cleanliness and overall standard of living.

Apparently Japan is the only nation in the world that does not give Citizenship to Muslims,permanent residency is not given to Muslims infact they cannot even rent a house.....The Japanese government regard Islam as a mental illness they refuse the sale or import of the Koran published in Arabic,refuse to have the Islamic language taught in the University of Japan etc.....also i think im right in saying that Japan has no embassies in Islamic countries.

To me its part of the reason they have one of the highest IQ's of any race of people.....they care for and protect their own people with basic common sense and have absolutely no guilt about offending minority groups.

I've no idea on stats or figures, but I will say what you can actually see is that it is light years away from London.. I've spent a fair bit of time around London over the years and there is no doubt it is multi racial on a massive scale..you just don't see that in Tokyo, we travelled around on the train every day. Popping up in different districts and walking around to get a feel for the plave. It is spotlessly clean, we saw 1 homeless person the whole time we were there, zero beggars, I'd say at least 90% of the people moving around were Japenese, the only couple of annoying people were ozzies (just a bit loud talking shit, nothing much really). The manners/politeness is like nothing I've experienced in a big city, lots of bowing and people trying to help (1 young lad saw us struggling at a train ticket machine, he said he spoke a little English and could see we needed help, so he stopped and spent a few minutes explaining/showing us what to do).. a teenage kid in school clothes stopped and opened a door for us in a shop as he was coming out, held the door open and done a little bow to me.. 15 year old kids with manners...

It's very robotic as well, everyone movez as one at certain times, no jostling, bumping etc. The trains are never late, I mean not even a minute..every 5 minutes they run, it is clock work, the whole place functions like clockwork...

It is a great place, but by f**k that last journey done me.. nearly 34 hours door to door, didn't help a crash on the M5 meant us sitting at a standstill for over 2 hours, head was a bit fuzzy by then! Lol
