Good article, good points, but I wish people would understand Islam, like Christianity is a big tent and within it are many sideshows. Christians are very quick to object when the atrocities or crimes of one sect are loaded onto the generalism “Christians.”

The extreme Wahabi sect are behind most of the trouble caused by Islam and immigrants to Britain are not usually members of the sect, it is their offsping who tend to be recruited to it.

Tighter immigration controls and a stringent citizenship test are the answer. There is a good line in the novel Brick Lane by Monica Ali, set in London’s bangladeshi community. The main character, Nazeen complains about immigrant men like her husband saying “They want all the advantages of living in the west but they are not willing to change a single thing of the way they expect to live.” Very true. To Nazeem it is little things like her feeling she should not have to cut her hubby’s toenails for him, but implicit in that is the suggestion that such men will always insist girls who go out alone, hair uncovered, wearing short skirts and sleeveless tops are prostitues.

They are hardly qualified to live in the west are they?

I recommend Monica Ali’s Brick Lane as a good read for anybody who would like a few nights entertainment and an insight into the mindset and the subtle rebellions of Muslim women.
