Danish MP: “It Is Impossible to Integrate These People.” | From 2016

Jan 26, 2016


Of course they can't be integrated. That should be clear to all by now. Their prophet told them to set themselves apart from the unbelievers, the kafir (Wikipedia). So, the West has no chance. The more religious Muslims are, the more difficult it becomes to integrate them. This is not an opinion, it is a FACT! – © Mark Alexander

Muslim Leaders Decry ‘Double Standard’ of Farage Bank Account Closure Furore

THE GUARDIAN: Longstanding issue for community given little attention compared with closure of ex-Ukip leader’s Coutts account, says mosque chair

The furore over the closure of Nigel Farage’s bank accounts with Coutts has led to the resignation of two chief executives and an intervention by Downing Street.

But, when nearly a decade ago, three Muslim organisations, including Finsbury Park mosque, had their HSBC bank accounts shut, there was little public acknowledgment or support.

The chair of Finsbury Park mosque, Mohammed Kozbar, has criticised this “double standard” and spoken of his frustration that British Muslims who have been struggling with this problem for the past decade have been left to do so alone. » | Aamna Mohdin and Ben Quinn | Thursday, July 27, 2023

The Quiet Flight of Muslims from France

THE NEW YORK TIMES: All the talk of France’s presidential election campaign is about immigration. But it is the expanding emigration of French Muslims that points to a deeper crisis for the country.

PARIS — France’s wounded psyche is the invisible character in every one of Sabri Louatah’s novels and the hit television series he wrote. He speaks of his “sensual, physical, visceral love” for the French language and of his attachment to his hometown in southeastern France, bathed in its distinctive light. He closely monitors the campaign for the upcoming presidential elections.

But Mr. Louatah does all of that from Philadelphia, the city that he began considering home after the 2015 attacks in France by Islamist extremists, which killed scores of people and deeply traumatized the country. As sentiments hardened against all French Muslims, he no longer felt safe there. One day, he was spat on and called, “Dirty Arab.”

“It’s really the 2015 attacks that made me leave because I understood they were not going to forgive us,” said Mr. Louatah, 38, the grandson of Muslim immigrants from Algeria. “When you live in a big Democratic city on the East Coast, you’re more at peace than in Paris, where you’re deep in the cauldron.” » | orimitsu Onishi and Aida Alami | Sunday, February 13, 2022

In a Region in Strife, India’s Moral High Ground Erodes

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The hard-line attitude of Narendra Modi’s ruling party toward Muslims has undermined the nation’s reputation as a voice for tolerance in South Asia.

NEW DELHI — The mob rampaged for days, burning homes, breaking into temples and clashing with police, leaving several dead.

The victims were minority Hindus living in Bangladesh, a majority-Muslim nation grappling with increasing extremism, and the violence drew an outcry from politicians in neighboring India. As the region’s traditional center of gravity, India has a history of promoting tolerance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also positioned himself as the champion of Hindus against a history of victimhood.

But the erosion of human rights in India has weakened its moral high ground in a region where ethnic and sectarian tensions are worsening. Sheikh Hasina — Bangladesh’s prime minister and a close ally, who had just sent Mr. Modi 71 red roses on his birthday — had pointed words for India, even as she promised to hunt the culprits.

“We expect that nothing happens there,” Ms. Hasina said, “which could influence any situation in Bangladesh affecting our Hindu community here.” » | Mujib Mashal | Saturday, November 6, 2021

In the Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing, Martin Kramer, whose PhD thesis was directed by Lewis, considered that over a 60-year career Lewis has emerged as "the most influential postwar historian of Islam and the Middle East."

Muslims and Gays ‘Are Unwelcome Here’ - BBC News


A village in Hungary has banned Muslim dress, the call to prayer and and “homosexual propaganda”. By leading what it calls "the war against Muslim culture", it hopes to attract other Christian Europeans who object to multiculturalism in their own countries. Its mayor, Laszlo Toroczkai, says that while he would welcome people from Western Europe to live in the area, “we wouldn't like to attract Muslims to the village". Lesley Ashmall reports.

The Late Udo Ulfkotte: ‘Muslims Won't Win against the West'


Immigration tensions are rising in Germany following Chancellor Angela Merkel's statement that multiculturalism has failed in the country. Udo Ulfkotte, a noted German journalist and author, known for his severe criticism of Islam, shared with RT his view on what is behind the integration dispute and where it may lead. "What I believe is there is a place for Muslim in this world and for their culture, they have a place to live in," Ulfkotte told RT. "And there is a place for European and Western culture to live in. What I don't believe is they will live peacefully together. We have a clash not only of civilizations and religions, we have a clash of ideologies, like we had a clash between communism and capitalism.

Top Academic: Muslims Would Not Tolerate Multiculturalism in Islamic Countries


BREITBART.COM: Professor Afshin Ellian has warned that bleats of “multiculturalism” are a one-way street as Muslims in Europe oppress historic minorities in their own lands and have no intention of showing “tolerance”.

The Iranian-born professor of law argues that while Muslim migrants are quick to claim their customs under “multiculturalism”, they have no intention of reciprocating.

Writing in Elsevier magazine, Dr. Ellian says Muslims rapidly learn the rules of multiculturalism and push for their place in society but have no intention of adopting any sort of progressive ideals.

“The Islamic world is not multicultural. New migrants in Europe rapidly learn the rules of multiculturalism — claim your place in society! Minorities do not take the progressive ideals, but the despotism of their country of origin as a starting point”, he stated in the Dutch weekly. » | Virginia Hale | Friday, September 2, 2016

Muslims Will Force Sharia Law? Sam Harris On Islamists


Recent data shows that Muslims want Sharia Law to be enacted in western countries. Should it be OK to kill women for adultery, going to school or showing their face to other men? How about for drawing a cartoon of Muhammad? 52% of UK Muslims want Homosexuality to be illegal according to recent polls. It is this way of thinking that leads to shootings like we witnessed recently in the US.
