Of course, said Equalities chief doesn’t mean this in a bad way, he’s saying that Western society is being disrespectful for even trying to get Muslims from Muslim nations to integrate when they move to 1st World nations
(UK Daily Mail) Muslim communities are not like others in Britain and the country should accept they will never integrate, the former head of the equalities watchdog has claimed.
Trevor Phillips, the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said it was disrespectful to assume that Muslim communities would change.
He told a meeting at the Policy Exchange think tank in Westminster on Monday that Muslims ‘see the world differently from the rest of us’.
According to The Times, he said: ‘Continuously pretending that a group is somehow eventually going to become like the rest of us is perhaps the deepest form of disrespect.
‘Because what you are essentially saying is the fact that they behave in a different way, some of which we may not like, is because they haven’t yet seen the light. It may be that they see the world differently to the rest of us.’
See? Asking people who come to our countries to integrate is disrespectful.
The Muslim Council of Britain has insisted that members of the religion are compatible with UK life, and believes that the idea of demanding change from Muslims has promoted discrimination.
A spokesman for the organisation told The Times: ‘It assumes that Muslims are not equal, and not civilised enough to be part and parcel of British society, which they most certainly are.’
Phillips is completely correct on that many, many Muslims are not like us, that they do not integrate, that they do not see the world as we do. Yes, many do integrate, but, even some of them hold on to antiquated views, especially when it comes to women and gays. It’s more of a problem in Europe, especially in the UK, Sweden, Norway, France, and Germany, where these immigrants from Muslim areas demand to be allowed to practice their lives as they did in the old country, and the government’s asceeded to those demands, which is how we end up with no go zones, mosques and Islamic schools advocating for extremism, and sexual assaults, such as Rotherham.
We see the values that the current round of “refugees” are bringing to Europe, and they are not compatible with Western values. Progressives will tell us that we must be accommodating to these people, typically right up to the point that Progressives are affected themselves. It begs the question, why must we tolerated this behavior? These people are coming to our countries. Why is it wrong to want to hold on to our values and societal norms? If these Muslims do not like our values, perhaps they should stay where feel comfortable, or go somewhere else that has the same values.
Typically, 2nd and 3rd generations will integrate. But, that doesn’t seem to be happening all that much with Muslims, if we use the United Kingdom as a model. In many cases, these newer generations are more radical than the previous generations. They want everyone to bow to their culture.
I like this quote, it saves a lot of typing.
“So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.”
George Orwell
In the meantime, Sweden, the most liberal country in the already further-left-than-the-US European Union, is planning to expel up to 80,000 swarthy immigrants and refugees.
It looks as though the most heavily taxed people in the world really can’t afford to pay for the generous welfare benefits that the refugees are consuming, nor are they really happy that their formerly homogeneous country has seen a huge increase in crime, including having become the number two country in the world for reported rapes.
It has been said that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. It looks like the very liberal Swedes have been getting mugged by the truth.
Orthodox Jews have not “assimilated”
Here in NYC they enforce women sitting in the back of the bus on certain routes through intimidation
The Muslim kids in my neighborhood are much like other middle class kids
Culture always trumps religion
Look at how unchristian our Christian nation is
Association ?
Did you read your posts from Jan 20O5
About the Iraqi man who drove 6 hours to vote? You seemed 10 years ago to believe in assimilation
Couldn’t happen here…
Investigators have identified 680 hardcore Islamists in the German capital, nearly half of whom are “geared toward violence,†said a spokeswoman for the Berlin office of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany’s equivalent of the FBI.

John,
So you are saying you want Jews out of the US? As I remember, your bunch tried that in Germany and it did not work out to well. Sieg Heil!! After all, that is what socialism is all about.
