I saw on channel 4 news, 80% HIV postive are black people. I think its parents fault, they are not strict, not teaching their children right stuff and most parents dont care what their children upto. Bengali girls also going out with white men but i see most with black men. I think them girls need help and need islamic education.
Coming to this country, made bengalis rich but it brought many disadvantages. Them girls and boys giving bad reputation to our country. I dont really care but i just feel sad how bengali people becoming in this country. Nur and Abdul what can we do, to help them people go right direction.

This is a problem, but not an unexpected one - nor is it unique to just Bengali Muslims in this country. You rightly pointed your finger on the problem - a lack of Islamic education.
In this country we are continously bombarded by anti-Islamic values from TV, newspapers, magazines, etc. At present, the media is giving certain groups in society (including black men) a very cool image and this is taking effect. Its this same media that gives women the impression that they have to be ridiculously slim to attract men (I mean as thin as a lamppost - literally!).
A newspaper recently reported that it was becoming increasingly difficult for black women to find a man because more than 50% of black men have a white (or maybe asian) wife or girlfriend (as opposed to only a few black women with white men). This is an ongoing problem with their society here.
However in saying this, I think it is important to distinguish between non-Muslim and Muslim black men with this discussion. When seeking a life time partner for marriage one should prioritise the history and piety of the person above his/her race and culture. Once we start judging people by just their colour we are on a very slippery slope...the one that our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) fought long and hard against (so that great Muslims such as Bilal, could be free).
