The high profile Imam needs to accept that there is a different culture, and it is the one of the country he is resident in, which does not accept the notion of child brides...

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

You know as well as I do that to people like this Imam acceptance of different cultures and tolerance to their customs only goes one way.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Well, frakk him then, and he should move to a country where his 'culture' is accepted.

I'm not a big fan of moral relativism...

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

And this is just the kind of sporadic example that the extreme right will bring up time and time again when they're low on alternative ammunition.

I don't doubt there are attitudes like this out there (a democracy means all views including those we find offensive and repugnant are permitted to be held) just as we get groups on our streets demanding Sharia Law in the UK, they're clearly the minority (wanting a country to adopt a theological idea is one thing, trying to take action towards it are two very different things) but exactly what Britain First and the like will selectively 'report' on when we need another round of immigrant-bashing.

It seems to me that female genital mutilation is an example of a fairly widespread cultural practice which has been, until recently, turned a blind eye to so as not to offend certain communities. I think the west in general has been rather too accommodating of practices which are alien to it and this is one reason why integration hasn't been all that successful IMHO. Perhaps that's a subject for another thread however. :shrug:

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

I don't think that, at the moment, they are low on alternative ammunition. Every day brings new reports of muslim shenanigans.....

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

And of course, given the huge numbers, there'll be other groups/nationalities involved in undesirable behaviour of one sort or another. Sometimes this will be a result of nothing more than quite understandable desperation. However, we can't deny that there are those whose intentions are to take advantage of the situation in any way they can and have no intention of obeying our laws, let alone respecting our values and integrating.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Quite, and agreed. Basic decency, centred around respect for others and taught by the golden rule of treating others as you'd have them treat you, is a universal human trait. Any belief system that violates this as brazely as that his culture is based on should be criticised.

Sadly such things are, apparently, racist.

You may find this an interesting read.

This is also eye-opening.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Why is it anything that's not left is always regarded as 'extreme right'

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Linky

It was only a matter of time. :(

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

It's part of the lefties brainwashing process. Anyone not exactly in line with their thinking is either a NAZI, thug, racist, xenophobe or "islamophobic". Or all of these.

Just look at any demonstration, with or without a counter demonstration, and look at which group always gets short shrift from the police and media.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Maybe because the 'right' don't do anything in half measures? ;)

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

If that was aimed at myself I was referring to the actual 'extreme right'.

Again, both I have issues with as neither reflect my own experiences living and working around Muslims and other faiths.

I'm not denying what's in print but it's tough for me to get on board if it's something I simply don't recognise.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

No just a general observation, not aimed at anyone. I'm quite good at being specific with anyone I have issue with.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 

Don't worry though because back in Eurolalaland the Greeks have been given an ultimatum to sort out their borders:

Or what?

Yes, a valid general observation too IMHO. :tu:

All sorts of extreme language and insults have been routinely used to brand anyone who dared to express any concerns, however coherent, about this issue. Thankfully, it's been exposed for the nasty, debate stifling, tactic it is and what's unfolding in front of our eyes in Europe serves to illustrate just how right those with concerns about uncontrolled migration were and still are.
