Europeans Learning Islam is Incompatible With the West

They learn slow, but they do learn.

Europeans worry that Muslims cannot assimilate

Debate moving from extremists to more moderate factions.

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Europe appears to be crossing an invisible line regarding its Muslim minorities: More people in the political mainstream are arguing that Islam cannot be reconciled with European values.

For years, those who raised their voices were mostly on the far right. Now, those normally seen as moderates — ordinary people as well as politicians — are asking whether once unquestioned values of tolerance and multiculturalism should have limits.
Former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw of Britain, a prominent Labor politician, seemed to sum up the moment when he wrote last week that he felt uncomfortable addressing women whose faces were covered with a veil. The veil, he wrote, is a “visible statement of separation and difference.”

In Austria this month, right-wing parties also polled well on a campaign promise that had rarely been made openly: that Austria should start to deport its immigrants. Vlaams Belang, too, has suggested repatriation for immigrants who do not make greater efforts to integrate.

Too bad they waited until not long before parts of their region become Islamic to figure it all out.

I don’t think those Europeans hate Muslims and neither do I, but you have to admit when a relationship simply does not work and take corrective action. Islam simply does not work with Western culture and this is why things are so different in Islamic nations from Western ones. Too many Muslims wish to modify the West to suit them, instead of modifying themselves to suit the West. All others who join the West have adjusted themselves and do not prescribe to a cult that teaches to take over and subjugate others not like themselves. Any group that does outside of Islam, is either too small in number to pose a threat or has not actually carried out so many acts in recent times to warrant immediate concern. With Islam we know people are doing things that they really feel they are being sent to heaven for.

    Luckyly, muslim extremists are a vast minority. The majority of arabs integrate well in Europe, but there is no need to speak of those. European also have the problem of nazi extremists that are as much of a problem. And I do not believe either extremism is better

    I can’t say that I agree that the moderates are the majority. I guess it really depends on what you consider a moderate Muslim to be.

    Is an moderate Muslim:
    1. Someone who would never engage in a terrorist act?

    2. Someone who sincerely disapproves of terrorist acts?

    3. Someone who actively speaks out and works against Jihadists?

    4. Someone who actively engages the Jihadist in a theological battle? Trying to convince them that Jihadism is wrong on Islamic grounds?

    These are the 4 categories laid out by Robert Spencer.

    For me, a moderate Muslim is someone who fills all 4 of those categories. But most Muslims have not. Many make excuses for the murders of innocent people in Israel and don’t even think it should exists as a Jewish state. Polls and elections by Muslims often result in the endorsement of people who are radicals. Even in places where radicals have not been elected to office, people like bin Laden and others are praised.

    The actions of the founder of Islam, Muhammad were inherently radical.

    Given what happens in the majority of Muslim nations that is supported by the masses there, I can’t say most are moderates. Killing converts to Christianity, oppressing women, endorsing slavery, hating lands near them that are not Islamic like Israel and so on…. Nope I can’t say I see the majority as moderate and therefore I can’t see how they are integrating well with Europe given parts of nations like France can’t even be patrolled by police.

    The Koran explicitly says they should subjugate or kill non-Muslims.

    When is the last time the Nazi extremists blew up a plane, train or building? I don’t like Nazis at all, but they are no where close in comparison with Jihadists.
