While surfing the net I came across a rather interesting article. In this article a guy (who is apparently an evolutionary psychologist) highlighted a very good point about the majority of muslims. They are very much Muslim first and everything else second. Here is the article in question:

Now on the face of it, you might not see much of a problem with this. But is it any wonder why "multi-culturalism" has failed as much as it has when this particular group identify themselves by their faith over their nationality?
BTW multi-culturalism in the UK has failed, Cameron said it himself here:
As well as this Cameron picked up on "segregated communities". Now from living in Birmingham, let me tell you, there are certain areas which are thoroughly dominated by muslims. Again on the face of it this isn't a bad thing, is it? But when you consider that these communities essentially corden themselves off from the rest of society, and make up a sizeable chunk of society too, I think it's a pretty big problem. Here's some figures: http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2007/1...ities.html
To demonstrate the way that muslims do in effect divide themselves from the rest of society here is another article:

With all that muslims do to seperate themselves from the communities they live in, is it any wonder why the majority of Westerner's are as alienated by them as we are?
It's not because of terrorism, or extremists, or even scum like Anjem Choudary that people don't like muslims. It's because of the divisive nature of their religion itself. And until some big changes happen to help modernise this religion quickly, I'd say Islam will continue to have the very much backward, alien and foreign label it has.

Satellite TV and mobile phones enable families to live in this country as if they were elsewhere. They are still mentally, spiritually and even physically back in Pakistan or Bangladesh.”
