UK Muslim leader: Muslims’ failure to integrate is fault of UK non-Muslims

“Louise Casey’s review implies that Muslims alone are a barrier to good community relations – ignoring such issues as white flight and structural inequality.”

Miqdaad Versi of the Muslim Council of Britain here criticizes the Casey Report, which points out how Muslims are failing to integrate into British society, by pointing at the responsibility of “white British” to help Muslims integrate — why are “white” and “Muslim” considered two distinct groups even by people who should know better? — and bringing up red herrings about other communities that do not produce large numbers of terrorists: “her focus is primarily on Muslims: she does not provide any solutions for African Caribbean, Roma or Traveller communities, with no acknowledgement of Scotland and Northern Ireland’s history of integration challenges – from which we must learn.”

As always with Islamic supremacists, it’s always someone else’s fault. There is never any cause for introspection on the part of Muslims.

UK government’s solution to integration problem: have Muslims swear allegiance to UK

The Casey Review on “opportunity and integration” states:

Many of Britain’s towns and cities have been transformed “out of all recognition” by mass immigration, turning parts of them into ghettoes which successive governments have ignored “for fear of being branded racist or Islamophobic”, and which are creating “escalating divisions and tensions.”

The “huge social cohesion problems” outlined in the Casey Review about Britain is a stark fact in every Western nation, and is largely ignored. Delingpole in the article below says that to be fair to Casey, “she has had a very decent stab at a very difficult job.” It is the story of “two cultures heading in opposite directions.” Unfortunately, that’s where Casey’s “decent stab” at the issue ends. Her solution is to have immigrants swear an oath of allegiance to their host country. In other words, Casey has no solution that she is willing to stick her neck out about in the public arena; nor do the commissioners of her report.

Immigration screening, deportations, and the monitoring of mosques for radicalization material may be good for a start, but then there will be a huge reaction, with charges that such measures are “Islamophobic” and blaming of the host country for provoking Muslims. It takes tough resolve to stop brute force, although that is a concept that has become unfamiliar to Westerners in their utopian quest for global love and peace.

A valid prediction of how far the Casey report will go:

"It’s going to get a lot, lot worse still before any agency of government has the balls to do a single thing about it. This, after all, is why the utterly useless David Cameron commissioned that Casey Report in the first place: to give the illusion that something was being done, prior to kicking the issue into the long grass."

UK: 96% of Muslims do not believe al Qaeda was behind 9/11 jihad attacks

A stunning 96% of British Muslims do not believe that al Qaeda carried out 9/11; 31% believe that America was behind the murderous attack on its own citizens; nearly half will not report to police if they knew someone was involved in jihad plots in Syria, while 40% say they would support Sharia law. The outrageous results of this troubling survey of three thousand Muslims by Policy Exchange demonstrates how low Britain has sunk. It is a country where Sharia courts exist and are defended by Prime Minister Theresa May, who hailed the “great benefits” to Britain of Sharia teachings.

One has to wonder whether the respondents of the survey were even telling the truth about their support for Sharia, since only 40% indicated they would support it, while 50% would not so much as report known jihadi activity in Syria to police (such as a foreign fighter of the Islamic State). The stats outlined in this survey suggests that support for Sharia would be much higher.

There is also the unanswered question of who the majority of British Muslims actually think was behind the 9/11 attacks. And does it add up that “British Muslims were more likely to condemn terror attacks than the population as a whole – 90 per cent compared to 83 per cent” — when a full quarter of them do not even believe that “extremist views” even exist? There is clearly a high and unsurprising level of deception among the respondents.

UK: Muslim teacher condones Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre in classroom

Hamza Jalal Tariq, 28, effectively said during a lesson that the victims murdered by Islamist gunmen "should be killed for insulting the prophet."

Of course, he attempted to lie about it, which is routine for Islamic supremacists. Tariq should not only be fired, but charged with inciting violence.

The imposition of blasphemy laws is already happening in the West, with real threats of murder toward anyone who dares to insult Muhammad. What’s worse is that Tariq has spread his hate to children, and did so only days after the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

UK: 50% of Muslim migrants complain taxpayer-funded housing “completely inadequate”

FIFTY percent of asylum seekers surveyed about the quality of housing they have been provided, which is paid for by the taxpayer, have branded it as “completely inadequate”, it has emerged.

Why is such a survey even being conducted? To fan the flames of Muslim victimhood, entitlement and supremacism? It is one thing for migrants to complain about the quality of food and threaten to go back to Syria, or to whine about being bored or not being able to get cigarettes, or that the Internet connection is too slow. But it is quite another thing to actually interview the refugees and ask them about whether the living arrangements are to their tastes.

A big problem here is the socialist-leaning organization Migrant Voice, which conducted the survey, and which spends its time presenting only the rosy side of immigration and the rescuing of refugees. Migrant Voice was one of the collaborating organizations of a joint “I Am An Immigrant” poster campaign, featured on billboards “across the country which promote the achievements and contributions of foreigners to Britain.”

Who can deny that “foreigners” have historically contributed to Britain? However, organizations such as Migrant Voice avoid the glaring fact of widespread Muslim migrant crime that has now seized Europe. Migrant Voice ignores reports that up to a million British girls were sexually assaulted and brutalized by Muslim rape gangs, as well as the arrests of 900 Muslim migrants in England and Wales for “sickening” crimes, etc. Even worse, such organizations attempt to brand anyone who tells the truth about them as frenzied, prejudiced nationalists who have a problem lending a helping hand to foreigners in need. For example, in its magazine, Migrant Voice published an article that stated:

UK: Muslim migrant teen who raped 5-year-old boy gets “rehabilitation order”

“There are a number of troubling issues I have read about you in your background and if I was sentencing an adult for an offence as serious as this they would receive a very substantial period in prison. However, this does not apply to you as a youth and there are different guidelines for someone your age.”

How about a new guideline: deportation? Will this teen rapist ever contribute anything to British society, or accept its norms?

In Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world, this kind of behavior is broadly tolerated. Women are so devalued, men look to other men and boys for sexual pleasure. Also, the Qur’an promises not just virgins to the blessed, but boys like “scattered pearls”:

“Those are the ones brought near in the Gardens of Pleasure, a company of the former peoples and a few of the later peoples, on thrones woven, reclining on them, facing each other. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal with vessels, pitchers and a cup from a flowing spring.” — Qur’an 56:11-18

“And they will be given to drink a cup whose mixture is of ginger, a fountain within Paradise named Salsabeel. There will circulate among them young boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them scattered pearls. And when you look there, you will see pleasure and great dominion.” — Qur’an 76:17-20

Islam is the second largest religion with results from the United Kingdom Census 2011 giving the UK Muslim population in 2011 as ~2,706,066, ~4.5% of the total population. The vast majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom live in England: 2,660,116 (5.02% of the population). 76,737 Muslims live in Scotland (1.45%), 45,950 in Wales (1.50%), and 3,832 in Northern Ireland (0.21%).

In 2011 it was reported that the United Kingdom could have as many as 100,000 converts to Islam, of which 66% were women. Islam is the fastest growing religious confession in the UK and its adherents have the lowest average age out of all the major religious groups. Between 2001 and 2009 the Muslim population increased almost 10 times faster than the non-Muslim population. The majority of Muslims in United Kingdom belong to the Sunni denomination, while smaller numbers are Shia and Ahmadi. In terms of national heritage, the largest groups of British Muslims are Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. Smaller groups are Indians, Arabs and Africans.

It's always hilarious when people call "Islam" a race.

It's always hilarious when people call "Islam" a race.

Of course, a race is something you cannot convert to.
I view Islam as a culture and a political ideology.
Muslims are not a race, they are a religious identity.
