Today’s moment of “DUH!” is brought to us by Europe.
ISLAM: 80% FRENCH MUSLIMS FAITHFUL TO COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
(ANSAmed) – PARIS, MAY 8 – Some 80% of Muslims in France believe they remain faithful to their countries of origin, according to a survey by the American Gallup research institute that questioned a sample of Muslims in 27 countries. In all 8% said they were not faithful to their original countries and 12% did not reply. The research also showed that in Britain Muslims “loyal” to their original countries amount to 82% and in Germany the figure is 71%. The survey published yesterday but carried out in 2008 adds that only 44% of French of other religions believe that are faithful to their country against 35% who believe the contrary and 21% who didn’t reply. The French emerged as the most tolerant on religious matters and, together with the Dutch, the most willing in Europe to welcome a neighbour of another religion. At the other end of the spectrum are the Israelis who say openly that they do not respect other religions, according to the survey. The poll, carried out with the support of the Coexist Foundation, a British charity that promotes inter-religious relations, covered a sample of 500 Muslims per country. The samples of people from other religions varied from 100 to 1000 people in size.(ANSAmed).

Of course the apologists and islamists will blame the lack of loyalty and integration on bullsh*t factors like poverty and lack of opportunity. Funny thing though, when the US was facing a mass influx of immigrants from Europe, the people coming in assimilated and advanced. Quite nicely if I do say so myself. The main difference? Their religious beliefs did not hinder them or keep them from free thought, and they had the will to act to improve themselves and integrate. Their muslim counterparts today do no such thing, establishing muslim no-go zones and implementing shariah law. Plus the immigrants of yesteryear did not ring in the new year by torching cars and rioting in the streets, a la the muslims in France and Denmark.
