Firstly
I am not a racist, I have no religious bias and take people for who
they are and present themselves. It is not my job to judge how people
wish to live, but if those choices effect the greater good, then
perhaps then I will speak up.
Islam
is under fire continually, only because the terrorist of the day
choose to use their religion as an excuse to kill and seek power.
Muslims on the whole are people like you and I, wishing to live in
peace and work to maintain a good life for their families. Their
religious aspirations are none different to Catholics or Protestants
or virtually any other religions, Hindu, Buddhist or whatever.
The
problem arises when a religion extends so deeply into culture, it
virtually segregates them from all other peoples. In an Islamic country,
that is of course not a problem, and culture and religion work hand
in hand, but should those of the Islamic faith chose to live in say a
Christian country, how then should they behave culturally, so not to
impact on their country of settlement?
The
answer is clearly they must compromise to assimilate into the new
country, as that is the culture in which they now will live. If they
will not, then they are not eligible to settle; for that is surely
part of an immigration expectation.
The
widespread refugee crisis from war-torn Syria has created a word-wide
problem of escalating concern. These displaced people feel it is
their right to do as they please in their new countries of
settlement, demanding they live as they have always lived ,
regardless of the culture of that country.
Recently
in Australia and elsewhere, Muslims are demanding that they have
lands and settlement as a group of religious peoples, so they can
live as Muslims, both in religious practice and culture. What right
has any religion or ethnic group to demand anything of a chosen
country of settlement. Refugees are welcomed as are immigrants, based
on their agreement to learn the language and the culture of that
country so they can assimilate. Creating enclaves of any group simply
separates, and division creates disharmony. If any group whether
they be Islamic or whatever, refuse to assimilate, they have no right
being in that country.
Hell, those displaced peoples of Syria, should be bloody thankful that a
country takes them at all, let alone demanding they life how they
wish. Any government that bows to these requests is creating a very
tenuous future indeed, and with all those radicalized Muslims, no
doubt among those who truly need re-settlement, is it any wonder
people are nervous.
Any
country who just opens the doors and gives these people an
opportunity to recreate their own ravaged countries, in culture and
religion has got to have a screw loose. Those families who truly
accept resettlement and assimilation cause no problem for their host
country, but those who start trying to control and demand rights
they do not have should be dealt with smartly.
The
world is not Islamic, and never will be, despite what many
fundamentalists think. The world needs to be much tougher on
immigration and refugees, offering a hand to those who truly need it,
and ridding themselves of all the troublemakers who demand rights
that just do not have.
