Simplicity of argument

The issue of islamic expansion into the west is difficult to address though simple to understand.

Wherever you find ignorance, lack of education, primitive thinking, you will also find bizarre beliefs and practises. The majority of muslims in the west are economic migrants, legal or illegal they fall into the aforementioned category. Most middle eastern countries' mass of population are indeed living in a primitive archaic environment many hundreds of years behind that of the developed west. It would be quite wrong to expect them to behave and function like westerners.

The mass immigration of illiterate peoples from around the globe into the west has been proven not to work. Tolerance alone is insufficient. The westernisation of such peoples must largely happen prior to setting foot in our countries ( that does not mean speaking 10 words of our language ) Or cease immigration completely. Of course all this is too late as a damaging volume of such peoples are already with us.
