Young Muslim men refuse to embrace the social codes of Western life. They were raised on the idea that their religous ethics trump the ethics of the infidels.

In December 2013 Professor Rund Koopmans of the Berlin Social Science Centre published a study on 'Fundamentalism and out-group hostility' in which he compared hostility among Muslim immigrants and Christisn natives in Western Europe. Almost 60% felt that Muslims should return to the roots of Islam, 75% felt there is only one interpretation of the Quran possible to which every Muslim should stick and 65% felt that religious rules were more important to them than the laws of the country in which they lived. In regards to Christians, he concluded that less than 4% could be characterised as consistent fundamentalists.

In the modern welfare state immigrants were more dependent on the welfare state than the average citizens. As a group they receive more money than they pay in taxes. They also show up much higher in crime statistics than their numbers would justify.

Almost 60% of Europe's Muslims reject homosexuals as friends and 45% think that Jews cannot be trusted. Whilst about 1in 5 natives can be considered Islamophobic, the level of phobia against the West is much higher, with 54% believing that the West is out to destroy Islam.

Muslim integration is successful when Muslims are willing to give up the mental confinement of their countries - countries, let's not forget, which they left in search of a better life. For as long as they refuse to adapt to a European state of mind , they will perpetuate resentment and a culture of violence.

What did 'we' do to 'them'? We opened our cities, our houses, our wallets. And in our secular temples of progress - our metro stations, airports and theatres - their sons are killing themselves and taking our sons and daughters with them.

There is nothing for which we need to apologise. Occidentophobia originated in the Muslim community. We need to demand they abandon it.

From an article called 'Muslims hate the West' published in 2016 which I found very interesting. Thoughts please.
