We're not expecting them to throw it away, but again, how do you foster cohesion and unity? Do you let them have their own schools? If you think my proposition is cultural imperialism, then the alternative would be to segregate them.

We shouldn't change our schooling to meet their religious or cultural demands. That distorts unity and breeds tension. I am not saying we should outright convert them to Western values, but as a western, liberal, secular society, we should at least follow the same system we have before they came here, and not change it for their needs. If they come here, they should learn the language and understand the values their host country wants. Otherwise, it breeds nothing but tension and hatred on both sides.

Now that you've cleared it up I see what you're saying. The West could build religious schools though since it already does that. With he Western values thing, I understand what you're saying there too. True, language learning would help, but having Arabic classes would help also.

Where do you get the silly idea that Arabic classes and Islamic schools haven't been around in Europe for the past 40 years or so ?

For the record: for each incident against muslims there are still a few 100 incidents by muslims.
Viewed like that, there is no toxicity problem ;)

Muslims don't kill innocent people, people kill innocent people. Goes the same of almost every religion and it's sects.

It would've been a lot more respectful to say "Arabic and Islamic courses have already been in Europe for at least 40 years". I would've thanked you for the information.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

You don't tax Islam, you tax the people coming there. I think that could work, but after they establish themselves. And don't make the tax too high either, but enough to do something.

-sigh-

Everyone keeps going on about the integration thing but I sincerely wonder how knowledgeable people actually are on the subject. Sure, there's been a few conflicts with migrants and immigrants over the years, but overwhelmingly the real problem has been second and third generation Muslims that are by all means native citizens of their respective countries. In particular, the Salafis.

Sure, the recent wave of Muslims coming to Europe holds some very conservative values. Islam tends to be a conservative religion, and I can see how that might be an issue for Western Europe and its very liberal values. But that hardly presents a reason why Muslims cannot integrate, much less a reason to deny them immigration or outright persecute them. They've been integrating just fine for hundreds of years, so unless you want them to flat out assimilate themselves into French, German, English or whatever culture is in question, allegations that their religion is incompatible with Western European values and that they cannot integrate are baseless. The problem lies with the Salafis, and with the Saudi-funded mosques and madrasas that Western European governments have ignored for decades. These are the ones who have been indoctrinated to hate the West, who become terrorists, and who are responsible for attacks like those in Paris and Brussels. Those are the Muslims you should be concerned about, not this rag-tag bunch of refugees.

I mean we can continue playing semantics all if you want.

Fact is, there are people who identify as Muslims. Practice Islam more or less. And have killed people for various reasons. From religion to drug deals to domestic disputes.

The reason I say that is because a Muslim is someone who abides by Al-Islam the best they can. So almost all of those examples you have are wrong except Christians. Christians have not killed people, crazy people who warp Christianity to their wants are the killers. Same for Muslims and any other religion, political ideology or anything on those lines.

I agree.

The people in Corsica did nothing wrong, nobody died so it is okay. The fight to take back our homeland will involve many incidents like this and I 100% support the perpetrators.
EDIT: Before anyone reports me again, I said it's fine for stuff like this to happen if NOBODY DIES. I'm against it if people die.
