It's Long

But I think worth it, a post of Europe and Islam and the challenges.

I don't think there should be any fear in describing strict forms of Islam as backwards, hateful, and wrong. Any ideology, whether be religion or nationalism, that cannot coexist with others, will lead to perpetual war.

Quotes:

[L]ook what a typical radical Muslim leader, Dyab Abou Jahjah, the leader of the Brussels-based Arab European League says: “We reject integration when it leads to assimilation. I don’t believe in a host country. We are at home here and whatever we consider our culture to be also belongs to our chosen country. I’m in my country, not the country of the Westerners.”

Or consider the statement of a German radical Islamist that I recounted in my book (based on a National Public Radio news story broadcast): “Germany is an Islamic country. Islam is in the home, in schools. Germans will be outnumbered. We [Muslims] will say what we want. We’ll live how we want. It’s outrageous that Germans demand we speak their language. Our children will have our language, our laws, our culture.”
