I've said it before and I will say it again. We're allowing people who are 1000 years behind our mentality in to our western societies. It's a lovely idea, but it's recipe for disaster. We're not ready for an open, free world. as lovely as it sounds.
I agree, their customs are different than ours and we have to slowly let these people in so they can adapt to our societies. If we do not do this then all we have done is create settlements of people that are different than us and tensions increase between the people on both sides. Look at the China towns around the country, those kinds of areas do not promote togetherness, they promote separation and discrimination more than civility. Here we have some Chinese living among us, they learned to fit into our society and they start restaurants for us to go eat at.
The Muslims that are citizens can help us to integrate these new people slowly into our societies, they can help to teach us of our ways. They have to learn to respect our citizens and we have to learn to work with them to keep things civil. Right now, too many people are being immigrated too fast, this puts stress on the Muslims that are here already too because some of these new ones do not understand our ways and are not adjusting correctly, I don't wants to increase violence against the Muslims that are good people, slow is better than fast. If people push to give these Muslims more rights to get in unrestricted, the radicals on the other side will get fired up and kill good Muslims. Look what happened in Quebec, we need not fuel growth of the other radical side by forcing people to choose between two radical movements. It will happen, these radical liberals will actually cause more to go the other way and make things worse.
I agree with everything here. Slow integration would be ideal. I'm all for multiculturalism if it's done right. But with the rate of people seeking asylum from war torn countries and wherever else, slow integration would be perhaps impossible to achieve.
The fact is, many people on this planet are blinded by emotions and would let anybody in regardless of culture, customs and ideals just because they come from a less privileged country/environment. That's where we go wrong. This world has not progressed together at the same speed, nor has it's people. There are many people in other less developed countries who dream of a better life over in here in the west. But they are unwilling to accept or perhaps unable to understand our owns customs and way of life. This = issues.
A clash is always inevitable when we let people in to a country thinking the two cultures will instantly mix. It's often not the case.
