The Muslim Immigrant Issue

Submitted by Tracy W (Canada), Dec 27, 2006 at 14:21

Although there are many Muslim families that come to the west with good intentions of working hard and providing their children with good opportunities, it's their children who may very likely become a problem. It's been the case in the UK and other Western countries.

It's hard enough to be a youngster these days, whichever their ethnic background, but when they are from such different races and cultures, they often experience some exclusion. Add to that parents who oppose their integration and intermarriage into the mainstream culture, and there you have a recipe for their turning towards militant Islam, who gives them self-value, acceptance and the idealized goal of defeating the west.

So I agree that a moratorium on Muslim inmigration is a first step.
