The Statue of Liberty says, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.” It doesn’t say, “Give me your lunatics yearning to remain enslaved in a 13th Century death cult and dedicated to the destruction of the West.”
British Prime Minister David Cameron has figured it out. And he pulls no punches in this speech to an international security conference in Munich. British Muslims, he said, must adopt mainstream Western values of freedom and equality. He also declared that the concept of multiculturalism has failed and must be abandoned.
“We won’t defeat terrorism simply by the actions we take outside our borders. Europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries,” Cameron told the conference.
In an attack on Britain’s previous government, Cameron said authorities there had been too hesitant to intervene when some sectors of society espoused abhorrent views.
… “We have even tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run counter to our values,” Cameron said. “We have encouraged different cultures to live separate lives, apart from each other and the mainstream.”
Cameron’s not alone. German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently took the same position:
Germany’s attempt to create a multicultural society has “utterly failed,” Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, adding fuel to a debate over immigration and Islam polarising her conservative camp.
Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democrats (CDU), Merkel said allowing people of different cultural backgrounds to live side by side without integrating had not worked in a country that is home to some four million Muslims.
“This (multicultural) approach has failed, utterly failed,” Merkel told the meeting in Potsdam, south of Berlin.
In the land Down Under, the Australian government seems to have come to the same conclusion according to the government’s white paper on counter-terrorism:
“A … shift apparent since 2004 has been the increase in the terrorist threat from people born or raised in Australia, who have become influenced by the violent jihadist message,” it warns. “A number of Australians are known to subscribe to this message, some of whom might be prepared to engage in violence. Many of these individuals were born in Australia and they come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds …”
”The scale of the problem will continue to depend on factors such as the size and make-up of local Muslim populations, including their ethnic and/or migrant origins, their geographical distribution and the success or otherwise of their integration into their host society.”
Great Britain, Germany and Australia get it. Still waiting to see how long it takes for France, Canada and the United States to get it.
January 20, 2013 at the earliest would be our guess.

Read the koran and compare it to hitlers mein kampf and the psyco karl marxists communist das capital , you'd thing it was written by the same wingnut jerkoff butcher. Then use it for toiletpaper.
Make sure you really wad up the pages first or you're likely to get splinters in your butt.
One solution for Europe,Canada, Australia, new Zealand, Russian and the USA, expell ALL muslims, mohammadan followers of the pedophile rapist and murder, the sociopathic fake prophet Mohammad, the muslim cult has conflicted with Hindus, Jews, Christians Buddhists and anyone else that does not kiss their reactionary asses. GET RID OF THEM deport them back to the land of muhammad and camel shit. The "prophet" betrothed himself to a 6 yr old girl and had sex with her at the age of nine, this is SICK in any time culture and age, mohammud incited his fanatic followers to attack and psyically rip apart a woman who was breastfeeding a child, for the crime of disagreeing with him.
We had the perfect solution to this in South Africa, but the liberals turned it on its head, propagated it into a crime against humanity and changed our policy of "separate but equal development" into that dreaded, hateful word: Apartheid. SA has, as a result of the past 17 years of communist rule, turned into a proper 3rd world state, circling the drain.
Ahmed came to Oregon from the Middle East, and he was only there a few months when he became very ill. He went to doctor after doctor, but none of them could help him.
Finally, he went to an Arabic doctor who said: 'Take dees bucket, go into de odder room, poop in de bucket, pee on de poop, and den put your head down over de bucket and breathe in de fumes for ten minutes.'
Ahmed took the bucket, went into the other room, pooped in the bucket, peed on the poop, bent over and breathed in the fumes for ten minutes.
Coming back to the doctor he said, 'It worked. I feel terrific! What was wrong with me?'
"You were homesick."
ROTFLMAO!!! That was hilarious!!!! Thanks
LOL ROFLMAO Beautiful!!!
alien, I like your tone, but I always see appeasement as derogatory. My heart is pierced by your having suggested it is different than Left-wing appeasement and that is because this is in "the now" and not 50-100 years away like it is elsewhere. Inevitably, though, where there is appeasement happening now, folks will be fighting for their lives later.
As for your questions:
Q: "Should they fight to the death?"
A: They who live by the sword will perish by the sword.
Q: "Flee? Where would they go?" "What bastion of Christianity... ?"
A: I recall we opened the gates to Cubans and Far Easterner "boat peoples" (mostly Cambodians, if I recall) in the wake of communist aggression. Why not here? Let's put the challenge to American Christians (especially whatever sect most closely aligns to Coptic doctrines) to sponsor them into the U.S. It is no stretch to correlate their religious persecution with political persecution given the threat to their lives despite their claims to Egyptian citizenry and whatever rights are supposed to be conferred thereby.
You are raising some great points.
I think its a stellar idea. I'm not sure how many would choose to stay in Egypt, and I'm not convinced that they wouldn't run into trouble with the more xenophobic among us. It stretches the imagination to envision millions of dark-skinned Arabic speaking foreigners with scary names entering our society without serious friction. Maybe we could rise above my fear though.
again, alien, you make great points. this is a great exchange. i would submit that 99% of what constitutes the bases of our current cultural wars is the clash between those who love freedom and those who want to take it away (islam v. western-style democracy; progressivism v. conservativism; religionists v. atheists). i think Coptic Christians would find an America with arms wide open, by and large. take care.
@Chuck I agree its very possibly both. These Coptics are brave souls. Imagine enduring Muslim rule (even Caliphs) for over 1300 years, holding the Cross all along.But this is nothing like appeasement in the derogatory sense. Should they fight to the death? Flee? Where would they go? Egypt has at least 10 million Arab-speaking Christians. What bastion of Christianity would take them in?Tricky
what should we tell these Christians? http://blogcritics.org/politics/article/in-cairos-liberation-square-christians-and/
It is moving, yes.. are they participating in their doom? Or securing Salvation?
Wow, alien. Intriguing. I'd venture it is a "both/and" proposition and not an "either/or." These Egyptian Christians are rolling the dice on survival while foolishly setting a knife to their own throats. Kind of a like the appeasers on the European and American Left.
"what should we tell these Christians?"
Let them fight for control of their own country like you suggested we do for ours in another one of your posts.
after reading the post by jukin, i'm rather taken aback. we've got a serious problem. correct me if i'm wrong; but, does it not say in the bible that the world will 'end' as a result of a battle between [2] religions? hate to say it, but unless the non-muslems want to loose - they have to fight at the same 'level' as their foe. - that may be 'lower' than some can stomach. we here in the USA, can't even commit to having 'english' as our national language, or getting a handle on
illegal immigration, etc. second question; do we want to live like Muslims? , or the chinese for that matter? - if not, things need to change - here, and in many other places.
No. Like Chuck I appreciate the sentiment. But that is not exactly correct. There is some indication that Israel will be surrounding by offensive forces, but in all reality it is not people that decide the final war it is Jesus who decides it. What we do see though is a world power taking over the entire Planet and persecutions arising because of that. So far it looks as Islam fits the bill.
It is the last battle between Good ( Jesus Christ ) and evil ( satan ), of course good wins, and you know it's true.
no, anon 2, the Bible doesn't say the world will end because two religions will battle it out. I like the attitude of your post, however.
Failed. Yeah. So what?
The left doesn't abandon an idea just because it failed! Are you nuts?
These toolsheds are finally waking up to the fact that there are some cultures that just aren't compatible with our way of life. They're not compatible with our laws.
