"The real cause of the French intifada is the enormous growth, dysfunctionality, and arrogant self-confidence of the Muslim immigrant community within France, coupled with the cultural enfeeblement and demographic decline of the French nation. The mix is dangerous. Its result has been stated with haughty arrogance by Tariq Ramadan, professor of Islamic studies at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and a grandson of Hasan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ramadan proposes through his teachings and writings that Muslims in the West should conduct themselves not as hyphenated citizens seeking to live by “common values” but as though they were already living in a Muslim-majority society and were exempt on that account from having to make concessions to the faith of others. Muslims in non-Muslim countries should feel themselves entitled to live on their own terms—while, under the terms of Western liberal tolerance, society as a whole should feel obliged to respect that choice.

THIS, my friends, is exactly what we have been saying is the true nature of the problem.

The entire earth is not safe while these sadistic murders are on it.

Thus does tolerance become totalitarianism inversed.

In short, and ironically, the Muzz (yes, that's a derogatory term) use the singular (unheard of under Islam) freedoms of western democracies like France to undermine their host countries and claim independent enclaves within them. The are attempting to do the same in the US, limited thus far to loud bellyaching about profiling and discrimination.
