United We Stand, Divided We fall -- Multiculturalism Out, Assimilation In
Multiculturalism isn't working so well for the British. Zia Haider Rahman writes "Diversity will never unite us". He's talking to the Brits and he thinks there is still hope for them:
An important and timely study published by the Policy Exchange think tank yesterday finds that young British Muslims are much more likely to be drawn to radical Islam than their parents. Thirty-seven per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds would prefer to live under Sharia law than the laws of this country. These findings may not come as a surprise: many will remember an NOP poll last August which reported that 45 per cent of British Muslims believed that 9/11 was an American-Israeli conspiracy. But it's important continually to draw attention to the disease of Islamic extremism in Britain in order to motivate a Government, long on rhetoric, to take decisive action. [snip]Disturbingly, yesterday's report found that 74 per cent of young Muslims would rather Muslim women wore the hijab. These differences need to be highlighted because they are antithetical to British values.
Bernard Lewis is a well-known voice on Islam, multiculturalism, the world-renowned Middle Eastern and Islamic scholar, says: "Islam could soon be the dominant force in a Europe which, in the name of political correctness, has abdicated the battle for cultural and religious control, ..."
As much as I hate to say so, Prof. Lewis' gloomy prediction for Europe is well deserved by them. He's right about Europeans surrendering on every issue with regard to Islam, they are indeed self-abasing, have been losing their loyalties for some time, appear to have no respect or regard for their own culture, and even worse - have turned their back on their own faith. If Europe does become Islamacized, then it's there own doing and they deserve to have to live under sharia law. (Angel at Freedom's Zone)
Zia Haider Rahman believes: "What you do in your own home, barring egregious violations of the rights of others (such as the abuse of women), is your own business. We need to move towards a culture in which celebrating diversity beyond the home is widely seen as divisive." He believes that an immigrant doesn't have to give up their heritage, but that outside the home, that heritage but adapt and fit in with their new home country.
A commenter to Mr. Rahman says this, " ... if the author thinks the problem will be solved by promoting integration in the public sphere whilst allowing diversity in the home then they are deluded."
Assimilation is a must. Differences divide and separate a people, which is not good for a country. Cultures within a culture only divide. Does America want this? Of course we don't. We are not in the situation Britain is in... yet. We can see the problem on the horizon and we can prevent it. Whether the culture is Hispanic, Islamic, or anything else. We need to control immigration and immigrants need to be told that assimilation is not a request, it is a requirement for the privilege of living in the United States and becoming a citizen of this country.

You're a bunch of bigots and no-one cares what you think.

Good comments everybody. Admin, you are doing something wonderful and certainly have your work cut out for you. I hope others throughout the country will join in and support your efforts. Each journey must start with the first step, and you have taken that step.

Admin: That's one reason why homeschooling is best. :-)

Our rural northern CA group is the only one exposing the 6 chapters of Islamic multi-culti in our 7th grade p.s. textbooks. There seem to be only a handful of parents that have expressed any concern. Everybody else is asleep or in deep denial.
Maybe we do need another "significant" incident to finally shake the masses out of their lethargy.

who believes twenty years of dialogue will settle the situation - they are sadly mistaken, as you will see by my comments.
