In The Punch today there was an article by a well connected muslim writer titled, “Don’t blame muslims for multiculturalism’s failure”. He is of course, part right, multiculturalism was imposed on us by Left wing idealogues and bleeding hearts and had its problems well before we started importing truck loads of muslims with their perverted view of reality. It’s just got worse now that our main import is muslims.
Anyway, among the dozens of comments the article generated was this one which is one of the best written, most sensible posts I have seen on The Punch. It is also spot on about Islam.
There is no general evidence that Muslims integrate well into western societies. Look at France, UK, Austria, Netherlands and Germany. Islam is not JUST a religion, its a political ideology with no separation between the church and the state. On all measures we (western society) value, life expectancy, infant mortality, books translated, freedom of speech, GDP per person, domestic violence, patents registered, univeristies in the top 500,…. the Islamic countries lag by a country mile. And one of the reasons is the “religion of peace”. Look up “wife beating islam” on you tube. Dozens of videos from many Muslim countries where “scholars” suggest how to best beat your wife. You might suggest I am just cherry picking one cultural aspect. Nope there are lots of practices that are both common and barbaric. We bring large numbers of these people into out country at our peril. UK, France, Germany and Netherlands are ruing this already.
Dont take my word for this. Google “france Polygamy ” or “Germany Polygamy “. The evidence is there to see. Austria now has a Blashpemy law. As an athiest I find this absurd. We spent 500 years in the west getting the church out of public life and government only to have the “religion of peace”, that is unable to endure ANY criticism, creep the inquisition back by stealth. Again, dont take my word for it; Google “Elisabeth Sabaditsch” and read. Islam needs to ridiculed at every opportunity and we should never, ever let go of freedom of speech, particularly when people quote real, actual evidence. If we can no longer anchor our public discussions on facts, the rule of law is gone. If the facts are ugly and hurtful, toughen up princess, you don’t have the right to not be offended. Thats how freedom of speech works.
I find it ironic that Muslims like living in the west with all the great utility and freedom that a western society has, yet want to introduce 7th century sharia law, a practice that has abjectly failed in the countries they left. If the introduction of Sharia were successful western society would almost certainly decline, as freedom of speech and the tradition of inquiry and criticism essential for a vibrant scientific and cultural life disappear.
If only our local Imams would:
1) renounce taqiyya ( this needs to be done first)
2) assert the separation of state and church
3) renounce the doctrine of martyrdom and jihad
4) renounce sharia mandated dhimmitude5) asset the equal value of women in the eyes of Islam
6) renounce honour killings.
7) renounce Genital mutilation of young girls
renounce polygamy
9) death for aspostates must be renounced. (what an insecure religion)We would all be fine I suspect. But this is not going to happen. Our local Imam (Mr Hilaly) takes one foot out of his mouth to put the other one in, making outrageous comments that confirm his lack of sensitivity to our local culture. As per free speech I support his right to say what he likes, but when he makes speeches such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/taj_el-din_hilaly#february_2004_sermon he can expect no respect at all. As a public person he needs to be and to be seen to be supportive of the broader community, and statements like this dont help.
Now the average “moderate” Muslim may not practice or adhere to the items I listed above, but the clergy are right behind these practices as evidenced by the UK, German, French and Dutch experience. Look for it on the web. If you are an average Muslim you need to stand up and be heard, because currently I, and most people in the west base our judgements on evidence, not on myths propagated by the OIC and other Islamic public organs. Blog on the web, get published in your local paper. Get on these forums , condemn jihad attacks, make a contribution.
Of all the traits of Islam I see, the one that galls me the most, apart from the physical atrocities metered out in the name of the “religion of peace”, is its inability to stomach criticism. Any criticism is Islamaphobia, now renamed Blashempy in Austria, even when FACTS are used in augments.
See : http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ You can idependantly verify items on this site using google and news feeds. I certainly take nothing at face value.
The benefit of Islam to societies is evident everywhere Islam is found. If you can only tell me what a few of those benefits are, I will be happy to listen.
