France, Europe and the Future

This is troubling stuff.

As Mr. Belien reports, look what a typical radical Muslim leader, Dyab Abou Jahjah, the leader of the Brussels-based Arab European League says: "We reject integration when it leads to assimilation. I don't believe in a host country. We are at home here and whatever we consider our culture to be also belongs to our chosen country. I'm in my country, not the country of the Westerners."

And I can't help thinking, how much longer can we afford to pretend that Iran is only working on nuclear reactors?

Similar quotes have been around for several years. Not really surprising that they feel that they are in their own country, but surprising that they have come to so strongly reject the norms of the civilization that they emigrated too.

This really rings the bell for the requirment for national norms. Meaning a national language and legal system. These people have come into a country and didn't have to integrate. Now that things are not so pleasant, they claim that they don't need to be an integrated part of the country. Though the country pays them benefits that would make a communist state pale in comparison.
