London Muslims and non-Muslims: not a big difference

April 19, 2007

Foreign Policy and Gallup World Poll published a survey about Britishness and
attitudes towards the state among London Muslims and the British public in general.

It turns out that both share a lot of views and agree on most of the current issues about multiculturalism, integration and identity.

The surprising results of the poll shows us that the supposed clash of cultures between Muslims and non-Muslims isn’t really that big and that it revolves around minor issues (if you can call the veil-issue a minor issue of course).
The violent, little minority of extremists (the right-wing BNP and self-exploding Muslims) are an exception

Beyond the Veil-poll

Idiotic German judge

March 24, 2007
It can’t get worse than this, right?

A German judge refuses a “fast” divorce for a Moroccan woman, because the Koran allows domestic violence. Domestic violence being the reason why the woman wanted a divorce.

I always feel so happy and secure when non-Moroccan/non-muslim people decide how I should interpret and live according my cultural background.
It’s just a little dark side of apologetic multiculturalism. It just happens from time to time.
Fueling anti-immigrant/anti-muslim tensions and ignoring the fact that most Moroccans just want to live according to the law of their country of residence.

Viva el multiculturalismo!
