I would say that the article is demonstrative of the fact that yes, Muslims can integrate (of course). Let's not extrapolate too far from there though. When they start forming ghetto's and creating prayer towers in Western societies, I don't consider that integration.

My half brother's dad is from Kuwait. He was a Muslim, and he came to America to study. He used to beat the shit out of my mom, and wouldn't let her out of the house. He was very abusive. His friends were the same way to the women they were with. None of them integrated, and none of them graduated.



Yes, Muslims integrate, of course! That's not to say there aren't negatives. This is why I say for the most part things are positive. Isolation fuels isolation and that is no good.

Yes, just as we shouldn't extrapolate too much from single cases here and there, just as we can't assume a complete truth from your family experiences. As I'm sure you understand, no one thing is the full story. But i think we can say with confidence for the most part integration works. It is the failures that can be particularly destructive and must be addressed. qman will perhaps say, "why bother? it'll never work". But the global movement of people is just a reality of our world.

It is to an extent the socioeconomic level that dictates the separation, not race or religion. There are many Muslims in the North of England too because the cost of living is cheaper..but there are fewer jobs.

And people from south of the US border want to come to the US partly because US-led trade deals fucked their countries. A similar situation is true in Europe. Qman et al fail to accept the aspect of responsibility involved. That doesn't mean our countries have to accept all foreigners, but that our countries must accept how we fuel the pull factors in the first place and address those underlying issues.

All these points are probably just ones i've/others have repeated before so my apologies if thats the case. This thread!



"US-led trade deals fucked up their countries"

Examples?  NAFTA has moved US jobs into Mexico and has helped them as a result, or are you referring to something else?

There's always going to be problems outside of the developed world, that does NOT mean the developed world is responsible for those issues and that justifies having their homelands flooded with third world people.

Rise of the horrible left? They may have gained a Muslim mayor in London thanks to the immigrant vote, but on the grand scheme of things nationally, Labour did terribly.



A well integrated and very conformed Muslim who has adapted seemingly perfect to western standards.
How is this a problem I ask?
Because the Muslim is left-wing, you answer.

And the above is your answer when I mock this ridiculous answer?
Seriously?

Can you please just analyze for a couple of minutes, what your purpose was when stating that it's no surprise a Muslim leader won when the native population is a minority. Cause to me it seems we have gone from talking about the big problem with terrorists to talking about your perceived problem with left wing politics gaining ground from immigrants, on which you comment "the left wing is not gaining ground".

It doesn't seem like you know why you are typing.

Why or why not



People have every right to oppose any immigration that promotes racial segregation. Mass immigration is the biggest cause of this.

Racial segregation is a huge issue with the Muslim population in Britain, who fight to conserve their religious ideologies, by way of living completely separate lives from the rest of the country.

Many are simply refusing to integrate and mass immigration has allowed that to happen.

This is well documented. With many polls, such as from ICM confirming that fact.



Why do they have to integrate?



:huxleyfacepalm:  Because when they don't integrate they don't get educated, they don't enter the workforce, they commit more crimes, and they become massive financial burdens for the native population.

People are idiots if they think some homogenous Muslim "axis" is an existential threat to the West.

The Muslim world cant even agree with itself, cant shed their antiquated social policies, cant do a bunch of things it would take to topple the West.

The West exploits the Middle East as we exploit Africa and SE Asia, we just dont worry about the blowback because neither Liberia nor Taiwan have nukes, or a legitimate international terror network.



Any examples of this "exploitation"?  Please something besides this "stealing of natural resources" that are SOLD on the global markets.



You know what, just because something was sold doesn't make the deal fair.

As for that thing a couple of pages back.

Actually not, the invasion of the EU is a major CRISIS for everyone involved, why are you denying the obvious?  Muslims and African's flooding into the EU has caused major problems for the native population, that's why this nonsense is coming to an end. No one wants their homelands destroyed by a bunch of third world people.




I am not denying anything. It clearly is a crisis. What exactly is the crisis, what are the reasons behind it, what the fuck is going on? I don't pretend to know the answers but I'd rather keep asking the questions instead of answering with cliches.




It's very clear what's going on, people from third world countries want to get the hell out and live in a developed nation. They got news that the door was open so they claimed to be "refugees" to gain entrance into the EU.

Now after a year of being flooded with these people, the whole thing has turned into a massive shit storm for the native populations. Measures are now being taken to seal up the borders and to start a deportation process, the EU learned a lesson the hard way.



Sure. Keep the primitive bastards where they belong, how clever. By the way, terrorism, especially suicidal terrorism, is an act of despair, in cases when there is nothing left to lose. Why would people use their own lives - and lose them in the process - as weapons? What are they fighting? It's worth a thought.

Back to your words though, I often wonder how people justify using the words "native populations" and the likes. I wonder which is the historical point at which they begin to consider "their ancestors" "native". It's not like the peoples of the world have not travelled quite a bit. It's not like there were not some attrocities done in the process, like, I don't know, collonisation, slavery, etc. So, who's native, who's not and where's the native American Indian's say in the debate, to point out the most obvious and well known case? If we're going to use such arguments, of course. (I am for dropping them - along with the word "natives" - and for looking at the core of our problems, but this is just me.)

Otherwise, you are correct, of course. I don't think the problem is the amounts of people coming to Europe though, neither their religion; I think the problem is the way the situation is being handled. So "close the borders" shouldn't be the only solution. You probably don't agree.



"Keep the primitive bastards where the belong"

All countries have immigration laws and borders, I can't live in any country of my choosing, either can people in the third world.

"I don't think the problem is the amounts of people coming to Europe"

Then you clearly haven't been paying attention, people on BOTH sides of this debate called it a CRISIS!!!  No country can handle millions of people flooding into their homelands, these people don't have any education, skills, or language skills. They have no employment opportunities, in many cases they are nothing more than children they will need to be taken care of for decades.

I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you over the definition of exploit.

Theres plenty of information out there regarding the relationship between industry, the military, trade deals, world Bank and IMF, foreign leaders, and how they conspire to stack the deck in their favor.

Theres also an excellent book called 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman" that goes into great detail about how this is accomplished.

Please spare us the feigned naivety.



I hope you're joking because his whole thesis is pure dribble, globalization impacts everyone, including people in the developed world.

He even acknowledges there isn't any sort of conspiracy with globalization, it's pure business and nothing more, his "details" are more like broad generalizations.



So because globalism affects everyone, we dont exploit the third world?

Non sequitur much?

We're all exploited. The third world simply to a much higher extent.

The 50% figure is not a lie, it is a fact. I was speaking about specific areas, not London as a whole. The Office for National Statistics has confirmed that certain areas of London are now 50% Muslim.

Yes, i agree, he probably is a good representative of the native population. He is one of the few Muslims prepared to speak out against the majority, who are refusing to integrate and who push their social conservatism.



And at the same time you spoke about the natives being a minority.




Yes, because it is a well known fact that the left manipulate the voter base with mass immigration.

Bring in hordes of migrants who depend on the government (the left) to maintain a higher vote percentage and remain in power.

If you think that the native populace being in a minority in the London area to migrants, has had no impact on the out come of a Left wing Muslim politician gaining power, then you're sadly mistaken.

Even those who are not Muslim, but are migrants are more likely to vote for the left. That is a fact.



so..the left allows immigrants in to promote support for the left? Why have the Conservatives been in power for 2 terms then? Why was Conservative Boris Johnson Mayor for London?

You seem to assume that foreign people are necessarily left wing. :crazy2:

Nobody said that the demographics didn't influence anything, but you were repeatedly saying about some areas being 50% muslim as though that really means anything. London is 12% muslim. London is 45% British, 60% white European. I think you are undervaluing the native voice. There is a lot of support for the left, this has historically been the case in the UK.

This is not true.

The fucking stanza of democracy is that the people make the state. Not the other way around.

It seems the system isn't working precisely as it was announced.



"Are you happy about this (national borders)?"

I can VISIT most places that I'm interested in experiencing, that's good enough for me, I'm not entitled to live there, that's not realistic.

US citizens want LEGAL immigration, not illegals flooding into their country, that's why Trump is #1 in the polls, we want our immigration laws to be enforced.

No, there's no direct exploitation taking place if everyone is being affected by globalization, that's the point.

God I hate that kind of argument. Ok, sure there are exceptions to the rule but you cannot be realistically implying that on a whole immigrants end up outpacing everyone else with their abilities?

The point is that they end up being a burden on the state financially, the crime rates go up, specific areas become no go zones for natural citizens and it all ends up creating an array of otherwise avoidable problems.

This is a fact whether you like it or not. Statistics support this. Compare working class muslim families and working class white families and generally you will see this trend. Of course, as you say, there are exceptions to the norm.. but qman said that they don't integrate, don't get education, don't get into the work force etc.. but that just isnt true. Integration on the whole is successful, but the failures can be absolutely stark. No one is denying that.

Of course there are problems with those that are flagging behind, but they do not just include immigrant populations, they include white native populations too. There are some areas I know that are predominantly white trash in my town, the police won't even go there if something happens.

Anomie can happen to all groups. It just helps that some immigrant families have a stronger family structure than natives.

Good post.

I should say that the issue here spans a lot further than jealousy of success, or xenophobia though. Firstly, let's not pretend that the West has not played a role in creating this reactionary brand of muslim that suicide bombs Paris. Paris certainly didn't deserve the backlash, but they're the ones that got it, because they have allowed so many muslim people to live in their country. The United States has been fighting wars that it has no business fighting for a decade and a half now; stirring the pot of theocratic craziness, and destabilizing the middle East.

Let's also not pretend that the bombings have not happened. Imagine you advocate for these people day in and day out. They come to your country, and they bomb a building that your child happens to be in. They bomb a theater your sister happens to be in.

The point, for me, is that when we let Mexicans into America, they don't bomb us.
