The tragedy of Western societies is that those who should be in politics and running the agenda for preserving the national heritage of their generational citizens - aren't.
Of course they are, Herbie. They just have a more open, a more cosmopolitan vision than you want them to. Society is changing, Herbie. It is not frozen in time.
How has Islam improved any Western society?
More female genital mutilation, more gender segregation, more religious rent-seeking, more division, more terrorism, more crime, more aggro, more friction, more restrictions on freedoms, more unease all round.
I cannot thing of a single social, political, ethical, cultural or artistic improvement that Islam can claim as its contribution to Western societies. I can onlyt find negatives and degradations. You will be able to even up the balance, no doubt.
Let's hear it, Brain.
