The problem with Muslims

I am a Christian, but I respect all religion: that includes Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Animists, theists, atheists, you name it.

The problem with Muslims is that they want to convert others. That is why, in my view, a religious Muslims cannot be a good European.

In Europe, we are used to a pluralism of views. Muslims are so different from the rest of us, that they will never subscribe to our view of religion and religious pluralism.

Finally, Muslims see religious tolerance- one of the pillars of Europe- as weakness.
