I would be perfectly happy if Islam and those who practice it stay in their ugly little worlds and stop uglying up my world.
They DO largely live in ugly little worlds. Don't know the first thing about tolerance, freedom, integration, assimilation or secular law and justice. But that is not the fault of Islam. That's because their entire Civil Society power infrastructure IS the Muslim religion.. And they are protected from being offended by tyrannical govts.
The RELIGION can and is practiced in Western cultures with no evil side effects. So -- if you want to keep folks that have been ingrained in ugly little worlds, you should not use religious affiliation as the primary qualifier.. We should be just as concerned about other cultures and societies that are FAR from our values and legal practices. Like African dictatorships, some Pacific tribal cultures. Maybe even some Balkan states.
If there prime motive is to ESCAPE the oppression in Islamic culture -- I'm all for it. But there should be full disclosure of what the adjustment will detail. Maybe even tests to put them into situations that they will encounter and measure their reactions.. Stress testing if you will. Orientation programs to help cope and assimilate.
Agreed -- that we shouldn't JUST depend on their REFUGEE status and let their hardship create larger problems here. There is a lot of evidence that MANY in the massive wave that hit Europe -- NOW REGRET their choice to go there. That's understandable. Probably the same ones that Europe really does not want. We shouldn't make the same mistakes....
