The realities of hundreds of millions of victims of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations and enslavements have not interfered with the progression of this 1,400-year war doctrine into willfully blind societies.
Islamic Scholar: No Western Country Has Successfully Integrated Muslims
Dutch author and sociologist Ruud Koopmans said this week that Muslims are more difficult to integrate into Western society than other migrant groups because of a literal interpretation of the Quran prevalent among Muslims.
By: Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart News, March 6, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementKoopmans, a professor at the Berlin Social Science Center and author of several books including Contested Citizenship: Immigration and Cultural Diversity in Europe, told the Danish newspaper Berlingske that whereas most groups of migrants integrate relatively quickly, especially from one generation to the next, Islam stands out as an exception.
“Although it’s not completely absent in Muslims, the change is much slower,” he said, noting that a literal interpretation of the Quran prevents them from integrating into Western countries.
In an earlier published study titled “Fundamentalism and out-group hostility,” Koopmans compared Muslim radicalism with Christian radicalism to better understand why Islam stands out for its isolationism.
“Almost 60 percent agree that Muslims should return to the roots of Islam,” he wrote, while “75 percent think there is only one interpretation of the Qur’an possible to which every Muslim should stick.”
Koopmans, who has been studying Islam for over twenty years, also found that “65 percent say that religious rules are more important to them than the laws of the country in which they live.”
Regarding Christian citizens on the other hand, Koopmans found that fewer than 4 percent “can be characterized as consistent fundamentalists.”
“I conclude that the Islamic world is lagging behind rest of the world when it comes to democracy, human rights, and political and economic development,” Koopmans told Berlingske in his interview this week.
“The main problem is how many Muslims and, globally, how many Muslim countries interpret Islam. Namely, in a way that basically claims that the Qur’an and the Sunna must be taken literally, and that the way the Prophet lived in the 7th century must be the yardstick for how Muslims should live in the 21st century,” he said.
“Such a brand of Islam is, firstly, a threat to world peace. Secondly, it prevents integration,” Koopmans concluded.
Although it is politically taboo to draw distinctions between ethnic groups when it comes to immigration, some scholars, including Pope Benedict XVI, have urged the West not to assume that all cultures share its basic suppositions about the human person and society.
Prior to his election as pope, Joseph Ratzinger wrote that “the interplay of society, politics, and religion has a completely different structure in Islam” than it does in the West.
Unfortunately, he added, much of today’s discussion in the West regarding Islam “presupposes that all religions have basically the same structure, that they all fit into a democratic system with its regulations and the possibilities provided by these regulations.”
“The Koran is a total religious law, which regulates the whole of political and social life and insists that the whole order of life be Islamic,” Ratzinger wrote. “Sharia shapes society from beginning to end. In this sense, it can exploit such partial freedoms as our constitution gives, but it can’t be its final goal to say: Yes, now we too are a body with rights, now we are present just like the Catholics and the Protestants.”
“In such a situation, it would not achieve a status consistent with its inner nature; it would be in alienation from itself,” he said.

It’s better to ask what we can do about it. I can make
a cell video for you from a nearby street in my town.
You won’t believe that this is Northwest Germany!

People have long “got used” to it like they did to the marau-

I do not know what to say about this, the streets belong to them,
our population has long since withdrawn from these parts of the
cities, and at best it is only occasionally seen “in bright daylight”.

Years ago, there were still a lot of Germans here,
but now the part of the city is lost to the Muslims.
Only a few meters away rich officials have their mag-
nificent villas, no Muslim dares to go there in daylight.
I don’t want to blame anyone, but our city is strictly
fragmented into Muslim neighborhoods and locals.

They become more and more, with city celebrations one sees
practically only oriental young men and white women. The girls
seem to have less of a problem with that than I do. Man, this is
really sick, you know? But what can we do against that policy?
The Muslims are a plague to the whole city, everyone knows it.

NYC is a BANKRUPT shiithole. NY is so hard up for money, when you flee the state, the state still comes after you for money. They are looking for a federal bailout. I think 2.5 billion was the short fall.
Maybe they should CUT SPENDING?

I would love to see some actual bravery from the milk-toast GOP Governor’s running these RED States, New Yawkers are fleeing to.
‘Sanctuary NY Taxes Enforcement’,… ban NY contact from these people, protect them from any enforcement and DON’T share resident information with NY State authorities.
But I know I’m dreaming of a GOP with Trump’s backbone,…. not in my lifetime.

WHY do governments have to integrate muslims?
WHY can’t muslims integrate and assimilate into their new countries?
WHY can’t they lift a f’ing finger and do something.
And WHY do they insist on moving into a country that stands for everything they hate??? So they can cry and whine? So they can be a victim?

No Muslims Have Successfully Integrated into a Western Country, for nearly the last 1500 years.
Muslims never have an intention to integrate. I think it is even banned for them to do in the Quran. Overtake the country, yes. From within.

Unjust mass-murderer Hitler who viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion demanded the unjust Muhammadism for Germany by telling his architect & minister of war Albert Speer that the unjust Muhammadism would match the German temperament better.
Ahmed Huber who claimed to have been a friend of Hitler wrote that Hitler had said “The only religion I respect is Islam. The only prophet I admire is Muhammad.”
Many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked in the Egyptian Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser & in Syria.
In this sense, an integration might not be wanted by the Muhammadism-importing governments.

The Ahmed Huber quote is undoubtedly a lie, but muslums lie like rugs. The odds of a complete nobody like Ahmed Huber ever meeting Hitler personally are as likely as muhamMAD flying a winged donkey w/the head of a woman on a non-stop flight from Soddy Barbaria to the Temple Mount.

Why do WE always have to study them, understand them, figure THEM out. Y do we have to walk on egg shells in the west. They are dismantling the west. Imagine someone stealing your car while you are standing there right in front of them whilst they steal it. One reason is that they the many , the mob, and it very hard to fight them. It could be said that applying logic, intellectualizing an answer will never work with them. Eastern Europe , Poland, Czech. Republic., Hungary , and even Austria and Italy are starting to resist them , and are preventing the migrants from entering, deporting them and setting quotas on immigration.

The reference to “fundamentalist” Chrsitianity is nothing but the usual atheist appeal to an argument of false equivalence vis-a-vis islam, because “fundamentalist” Christianity would be peaceful because that’s what the founder of Christianity almost exclusively preached and practiced.

As a “fundamentalist” I agree. Whoever stated that wants to vilify Christians to be equal to the violent Muslims that literally follow the Quran. As you stated, there is
THERE IS NO EQUIVALENCE OF FUNDAMENTAL ISLAM to FUNDAMENTAL CHRISTIANITY.

Even in the USA, the Muslims here still hold pride in their religious identity far more than their national one, blame the left’s identity politics, I guess, which seems to oppose assimilation.

War is coming. Muslims will not hesitate to kill you on sight. All infidels (non-muslims) are expendable. They invade, kill the men, rape and enslave the women, rape the girls, rape and kill the boys. Just like Muhammed. History is littered with the bodies of the victims of Islam.
We should mobilize now to strip muslims of all of their property, seize assets, round them up, deport them, and permanently ban them from the US.
The US will soon stand alone as the last bastion of freedom, liberty and light in this world. Get ready to fight, and exterminate the death cult of Islam.

Muzzies can’t even live peacefully among themselves. If they don’t have someone to fight, they fight each other. As Winston Churchill said long ago, “islam is to a man, as rabies is to a dog”.
