Would the british government really unwittingly allow muslim communities to impose their own law on significant parts of the country?
There will be a cap on muslim growth in developed countries as the pressures mount on how to treat children, cost increases proportionally to the number of children, child labor is illegal; kids will want their xboxes and playstations and PCs and iphones and wireless internet anywhere and games, and tv, and books.... books will make them learn, become educated and become integrated... if not straight on this first wave of immigrants, then their children or their children's children. Children will see the barbarism of shariah and move away from it.
It's inevitable.
Their numbers will stop growing out of control and only a few fringe idiots will continue with the lunacy... like a few fringe idiots continue with the lunacy of christianity.... not so fringe in parts of the US, or so I'm told!
In the UK, there are some potential barriers to that progress:
1. If poverty continues to worsen, we'll see people get increasingly stressed by life and more desperate for survival. Stressed and desperate religious people often turn to the fundamentals of their religions as a coping mechanism. When the fundamentals are as inhumane as those of Islam, that might cause problems in wider society.
2. Poor housing policy and provision has caused ghettoisation of certain communities, the anglo-arabic communities are amongst those who suffer from this form of indirect social exclusion. When this is combined with education policies which prevent children from experiencing broader society, an environment is created in which ignorance and xenophobia can result, on both sides of the divide. Common behaviour of marginalised groups includes promotion of cultural stagnancy, mistrust of government and social self-exclusion. This would be an excellent garden in which to grow religious fundamentalism.
Sum ergo sum
