Actually it's a shortage of labour and an ageing population that led to the migration of Muslims into Western Europe. Plus the geopolitical situation of it being difficult to migrate from eastern Europe until lately. The Socialist doctrine of multiculturalism only comes in after they have migrated.guerilla surgeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-78999735110681050262012-09-28T13:15:38.983+12:002012-09-28T13:15:38.983+12:00Interesting essay, but you fail to discuss the pro...Interesting essay, but you fail to discuss the problem of modern Muslims refusing to integate into the western societies they choose to move into. They seek not to integrate, but to supplant western culture with their own. <br /><br />The Socialist doctrine of multi-culturalism has lead to the mass migration of Muslims into Europe will in turn lead to civil war in many countries. <br /><br />Islam will only be tolerated up until the point that Europeans realise that they are in real danger of losing their countries to a global Islamic movement and then I fear we will see the likes of the holocaust again in Europe, but next time it will be the Muslims instead of the Jews.<br /><br />Anders Breivik may have been mentally unstable and acting alone, but I believe his actions to be just the earliest beginnings of a violent backlash from Westernised Europeans.Very Worriednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-39275249005456263232012-09-25T07:05:40.624+12:002012-09-25T07:05:40.624+12:00Ask the cathars about christian tolerance.

Yet the comments from many westerners (have you seen the majority of comments on the Huffington Post?) shows equally intolerant and often violent views.<br /><br />Many Muslims feel bullied by the west and feel their future and freedom are not within their control. And extremists can easily take advantage of this feeling to recruit disaffected youth. The same thing is happening with the rise of the BNP and other nationalist parties in Europe.<br /><br />But the worst thing is that these extreme, polarised views are becoming more commonplace, and are even finding their way into governments. Unless tolerance can make a come back, it doesn't bode well for our future.TMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-80490011147573472682012-09-24T17:21:48.256+12:002012-09-24T17:21:48.256+12:00Really?

I'm getting fed up of other people implicitly apologising on my behalf for stuff we never did or was peformed in different times. Islam is not a Western creation and the violence and corruption of many "Islamic" societies is inherent and not a reaction to outside forces.<br /><br />Any reasonable history of Islam shows violence throughout its history. It was born with an aggressive and not a tolerant theme. No fan of christianity but at least it promotes tolerance.<br /><br />Certainly, the west has wheeled and dealed and dominated and mistreated but that in itself does not cause such a cultish approach.<br /><br />Remember that many of these islamic countries are dictatorships that treat their own terribly and use religion as a tool. <br /><br />It's not the 1st religion to be used for nefarious purposes but it's definitely the most common in modern times.

After all they include Stalinism, Nazism, the persecution of homosexuals and black people, and discrimination against women. It's this assumption of superiority that rankles with Muslims as well. Perhaps you've read this?<br /><br />http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/09/hidden-causes-of-the-muslim-protests/262440/guerilla surgeonnoreply@blogger.com
