Like it, moderate Islam’s single-minded pursuit has never been about blending.
Good article Snake.http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/less-violent-islamists-are-still-islamists/
I think it is time policy makers got educated.
Take note south west Sydney.Moderate Muslims here can enhance the process not by demanding free passes on polygamy, oppression of women, radical religiosity, and restrictions of personal freedoms, but by absorbing the values of where they landed.
An interesting article on the dilemma faced by many Islamists living in a postmodern world.

Muslims growing rapidly
New missionary movements are beginning to proliferate, most significantly Islam, the probable reason for the harsh reactions. There are pockets of Muslims around Port Moresby, in Baimuru, Daru, Marchall Lagoon, the Musa Valley and in the islands of New Britain and New Ireland. It is in the highlands that Islam has seen the most growth.[6]
A readers comment from the first BBC article:
"How sensitively we treat the racism and discrimination of the west at the hands of Islam. While this is a matter for this young man's conscience we shouldn’t be too sympathetic to his parochial ways. Would a story about a young man in London refusing to work for or with Muslims be treated with such an understanding tone? "
No he would be called a racist for CHOICE by the cowards of the leftie multicultural experiment.
Thanks for posting the above video.
Lol.
Don't you live in Japan? Are you Japanese born and raised?
Nope.I'm an Aussie living abroad for a while. Problem with that?
Nope.
It's just hilarious you can't see the irony.
Bob,
I hope all is well.
Take care.

Interesting you should mention that, I read in Voice of the Matyrs (Yes, a Christian magazine), that more Christians are put to death every year in Fundamentalist Muslim countries, than Muslims have died in the current Iraq war to date, yet Muslims claim that the Christian West is oppressing Islam?
That article someone posted about Islam using selective truths has a huge ring of truth to it.
At the end of the day, we need to treat people on their merits, not on their supposed culture and supposed beliefs. I'm genetically Asian, but any assumption on my culture is more likely than not to be wrong. I'm also Christian, but if anyone associated me with abortion clinic bombing mad men, or homosexual hating campaigners they'd be wrong too.
Hello Snake ,
I'm back to say my stuff again '
Hope alls well with you in Jap land ?
Bob himself !!
STEVE MARSHALL: Papua New Guineans began converting to Islam in the early 1980s. There are now more than 4,000 followers with recent reports of entire villages converting at the same time. Many are drawn to Islam because of the similarities the religion has with Melanesian customs, says Isa Teine, the General Secretary for PNG's Islamic Society.
ISA TEINE: We eat, we dance. This is Islam. When we greet people we hug them. This is Islam. We don't shake hands and leave them. So most of our cultures are Islamic. Polygamy. This is Islam. Islam encourages four wives. Before Islam came in, people already had two, three, four wives. This is Islam. So when the religion came in and said, oh we have to do this, this, our Islamic culture, we have to do this and that, oh people fit in easily.
So it's very easy for Papua New Guineans to embrace Islam. Once the religion itself spread I tell you, I'm just predicting in 20, 30 years' time, all Papua New Guinea will submit to Islam.
Source:"They come from their own little village and culture and say this is what Islam is," one woman is quoted saying. "They come from a village where there is no running water and electricity, and they bring their dark ideas into this country."
