I agree, but

I find your post in the main sensible, and honest, and I agree with most of it. The one area I disagree with however, is the most fundamental.

You find it shocking that Muslims come to our countries, and then expect us to conform to them, and their beliefs/values. Let me say at the outset, that most of those values are at the least hypocritacal, since there are countless examples, of 'good' Muslims coming westwards and living the high life. Howver back to the point, that is the point. Why do they flock to countries which do not espouse Islam? Well welfare, or social benefits is one reason. they do not object to taking our money, while preaching hatred, and plotting atrocities.

The main reason is global islamification. What would be the point (to them) of living in an already Islamic community, when the whole objective is to 'spread the word' This is done in three ways. the arranged marriage, which guarantees that the Muslim population will rise exponentially (and against Muslim beliefs incidentally) In an era when the birth rate is falling, rarely does one see a Muslim woman without children, and usually pregnant to boot. Finally the relatively slow, but insidious tinkering with the laws of the land to bring things ever closer to the Islamic ideal. In Britain, the formation of a Muslim Council. (Iwhy not a Roman Catholic Council?) They also have Muslim parliament (do we have a Jewish one?) I agree but.......
