Demographics

A reader wrote after the recent blog on Islam and said :
.
"Very strong words from a moderate, peaceloving man as yourself. What should we do ? talk to them ? fight them ? marry them or reconvert ?
.
Yes indeed, also in Brussels some neighbourhoods are not any more acessible to the police. And the moslim gangs rob and intimidate college students, that is why a high school changed location.
.
One could ask why we " the Westerners " occupy Afghanistan or the Jews act like Nazis in Palestine, or why the Americans created the Taleban to fight communism ( USSR ) , ...
.
To which I replied "Good response and I agree what are we doing there?
.
The current answers are not very convincing and I for one feel we should get out of Afganistan.
.
The Israelis are not doing themselves any favours and time will show this.
.
Regarding Muslims in Europe I feel it is time we said clearly you are welcome to live in our countries provided you accept our norms and try to integrate. If you do not want to or do not accept our norms then go somewhere else. End of story
.
We lived in an area of London where non muslims were intimidated and for sure it was not comfortable to venture after dark, this in my own country. After three years where things were only getting worse we have now moved to another area where I can hear my own language and walk after dark without concern
.
Enough is enough and the problem of them not trying to integrate needs seeing for what it is infiltration of their values and way of life onto an often generous if naive western society
.
We are working in Moscow at the moment where there is also an issue with Muslims from the former republics, however the line here is clear and well understood by all.
.
That was my reply
.
The following has been around for a while and is worth a look, although if the immigrants in question integrated then the birth rate would drop as the women get more education and a greater say in making their own life choices
.
What will be the outcome and who is right we do not know however the issues need addressing more clearly than they have been so far
