Muslims and Multiculturalism not a happy mix in some countries.

The contentious issue about Muslims is in the spotlight in Canada & Holland. First some excerpts from an excellent article from the Calgary Herald Canada. This is followed by an article from Holland. I'm actually surprised that the “Calgary Herald” had the courage to publish this, but the truth has to be told. Wake up Australia! This is a must read for all Australians; especially our federal Politicians!

It is a well known fact that many European countries have an issue with the Muslim population they once readily welcomed to their country. They all discovered that Muslims do not integrate or assimilate into their respective countries, and produce abundantly more children than the native population of the host country. In time the Muslim population will be in a majority, and they all know what that means and, are extremely worried about it. I’m told that the Muslims are a drain on the host country’s welfare system. Well, they have learnt that hindsight is an edifying tool, but an egg cannot be unscrambled.

Here is what German Chancellor Merkel said: "German attempt at multiculturalism has 'utterly failed;' she wants immigrants to learn German." Read more.

Theodore Roosevelt said: “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 % Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.” (That should apply for every country including Australia.- Werner)

Time to Change Tune on Official Multiculturalism.

By Licia Corbella, page editor, “Calgary Herald” - February 12, 2011 

About one dozen families who recently immigrated to Canada are demanding that the Louis Riel School Division in Winnipeg excuse their children from music and co-ed physical education programs for religious reasons. The families believe music is un-Islamic ~ just like the Taliban believe . . . .

The school division is facing the music in a typically Canadian way – that is, bending itself into a trombone to try to accommodate these demands, even though in Manitoba, and indeed the rest of the country, music and phys-ed are compulsory parts of the curriculum.

 Mahfooz Kanwar, a member of the Muslim Canadian Congress, says he has a better idea. "I'd tell them, this is Canada, and in Canada, we teach music and physical education in our schools. If you don't like it, leave. If you want to live under sharia law, go back to the hellhole country you came from or go to another hellhole country that lives under sharia law," said Kanwar, who is a professor emeritus of sociology at Mount Royal University in Calgary.

"Immigrants to Canada should adjust to Canada, not the other way around," he argues. To read the full article, click on this link.
 

Now to Holland; here is what they are doing.

A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads:"The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system,the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change,  the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society."

The letter continues: "A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands..."

The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants. For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law. (Hear, hear! Australian politicians take notice of this.-Werner)

The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner, "it is not the government's job to integrate immigrants." The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress. More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013.

Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realised - maybe too late - that creating a nation of tribes will kill the nation itself. (Australia's future may well be read here. -Werner)
