@Tero No they don't want them to integrate.
what why not
Because they need to culturally isolate people to keep them an 'other'.
If you integrate you stop seeing yourself as different.
apparently our muslims used to integrate better
Thus your identity cannot be pitted against the locals
but now due to politics, and funding from the middle east, there's so much propaganda being pumped into their mosques and houses via the internet, they're becoming less and less integrated each generation
not entirely true, like the scottish are arguably integrated but still different
They share British culture don't they? Just not English.
or perhaps it's because their numbers are getting sufficiently large that they don't have to integrate
They aren't the same but have the necessary overlap.
you get whole streets and sections of towns where they all walk around in their islamic robes and all the girls and women wear full-on burqas
even children
My understanding is that those are relatively new parts of Islamic culture.
@EnderOctanus ye, so we'll just get british muslims
yup, but it's almost like they're doing it to... push back against british culture
ones who go and have tea after doing acid attacks
to make a point, "we're different and we're not fucking changing"
👌
there's enough of them now that there's no requirement or need for them to integrate
no actually
and we're only at about 6% muslim in the UK
i'm in the UK, yeah.
australia tho, which is pretty close right
in a way, I don't blame them for not wanting to change and wanting to maintain their ways. The alternative around them is not very compelling.
True
of course
That's a damn good point actually.
but it's the political decisions and scale that makes it problematic
and the destruction it has on culture and tradition
help these foreign countries through trade and good relations, rather than stealing their youth
In the US, more and more Muslims avoid settling in cities.
leave them with their talents so that they can improve themselves
i think a big problem will be that unlike say the scotts, integrating a lot of muslims into british culture is going to be pretty hard bc they're totally different
@EnderOctanus why? so they can be in a majority in their own area?
No, to avoid gay people. Literally the reason given in one interview I saw a while back.
ah
kek. one of those old songs in that vid starts, "he was a lad in his 20's. she was a girl in her teens" that would not go down well today
"be a good soldier while your daddy's away. take orders from your mum and learn to obey"
these are good messages!\
