Gus, interesting article with a lot to think about. However I'm not particularly sympathetic to the moan. > If the Muslims are moving towards similar integration - and all indications are that they are, slowly but surely - then they need to take a leaf out of British Jews' history. Indeed they are trying to. First to emulate the Jews, then to displace them. So one can hardly blame the Jews (and others) for being upset by the tidal wave of Muslims which has descended like vultures on their hard-won territory. > This onslaught from both the political left and right has left many Muslims in this country bewildered and scared. This is reflected in America where a recent poll showed that 60 per cent of Muslims in the US live in fear for the future of their children I could cry for them. They have forgotten their experience in Africa or even in their homeland, India. And do they think that whites, in Africa, sleep any easier worrying about themselves or their children? Insecurity is not the prerogative of Muslims. If they want to learn from the Jewish experience then they should learn properly which is that the assimilation of Muslims into a non-Muslim country will not not be quick or easy -- and certainly not as quick or as easy as it has been in the past where all they had to do was arrive and claim they were "asylum seekers" or whatever. It is also clear that, today, everywhere, the call to "democracy" is not nearly as strong as the call to survival -- and most people in the West are now more concerned about their own survival rather than about "political correctness" in their attitude to strangers.
