Medieval Man - I wish you had started a thread to just ask basic questions about how/why people think about various (more general) issues concerning muslims and muslim migration.
The reason I say that is that I would like to understand a number of things about why people who promote this influx are truly unconcerned about things like 'taqiyya' and its relevance to how we should view the overall muslim population. It is so hard to trust anyone when one knows that their chosen books of reference specifically promote the idea of lying in the name of their leader who was a liar of the worst kind it seems. How do they explain this away?
I would also like to know why people seem unconcerned that most of the imports will be 'undocumented' young males (and what they might wonder about where the families of those males are and why they might have been left behind). We all know it is a lie to say that most of the migrants admitted will be women and small children. Why is it ok to know that these young men left their families behind and do you view them as cowards or what for doing so to supposedly 'save' themselves?
I have no prejudices against good people of any colour, creed, religion, etc. but how can we know they are good people even when they do speak up to protest the massacres, ISIS, etc. if they are bound to follow an ideology that appears to sanction (or worse, dictate) that they lie to us about what they really think and support?
And if extremists (as many pieces I have read written about muslims say) are the only ones who do not adhere to what people say is true Islamic doctrine which includes the concept of taquiyya and if those extremists always tell the truth - and that truth is that they wish to subjugate and murder anyone who is not of their particular ideology - then what does that say about the so-called masses of muslims who claim to be moderate and who DO follow their faith 'religiously'?
Today I read about a man who was beaten cruelly by Muslims in his British neighbourhood because years ago he converted to Christianity (and for that reason he was forced to leave his native Pakistan as well). How can we know that all the muslims around him (except those few hoodlums who beat him) really DO accept that he has the right to do what he wants with his own life, to believe what he wants to believe - when the scriptures they believe in so fervently apparently say the opposite?
I would love some who are on the O thought train side to address issues like this (rationally - let's not have a political war here) ... tell me what YOU really think about these things and why you really want these people here in the west at this point.
But, I digress .. you asked, as Red* Lion said, a question to which you already know the answer - and I don't really think that you connected those two things very well at all either in that the latter is something that is done to all by an unscrupulous ineffective group of people (who I don't trust either!) and I doubt that will change one way or the other if millions of muslims come to this country.
