Europe needs to better integrate Muslim communities: Obama
straitstimes.com ^ | January 17, 2015

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Europe must do more to better integrate its Muslim communities, and not "simply respond with a hammer", US President Barack Obama said Friday in the wake of last week's terror attacks in France.

"Our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations - they feel themselves to be Americans," Obama told a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

"There are parts of Europe in which that's not the case. And that's probably the greatest danger that Europe faces... it's important for Europe not to simply respond with a hammer and law enforcement and military approaches to these problems."

Who was it who said, "If they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun"?

Everybody, throw away those evil hammers and load up your gun! (I erased what I wanted to say next)

Code words for “Europe needs to better let the IslamoNazis integrate into European governments and security apparatuses, so that the IslamoNazis can finish taking over Europe even quicker than they’re already doing...”

The ruling elites in many European countries (as in USA) have sold their nations out to the IslamoNazis.

I seem to recall either 0bama or another top Administration official saying something to the extent that “Americans need to embrace certain aspects of Islam”.

What an idiot. The problem with Muslims in Europe is not that they feel they are not well integrated. They WANT to be separate from everyone else. There would be worse problems if they forcibly tried to disperse them across the countries. The better option is still to stop appeasing them and make them hate being in Europe so much that they move out and leave. If they get violent, there is always the bullet option.

“Audacity of Hope” from page 261:
“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

And now we see the political winds shift in an ugly direction...does this very quote suddenly explain why Obama nor any American representative was at the French rally? Todays remarks calling for better integration of a violent force in Europe? None of it makes any sense at all.

And by “better integrate “ I assume that he means, “give them everything they demand”?

Integrating Islam with decent society is like integrating cyanide with a bottle of wine.

“...better integrate its Muslim communities...”

Are you kidding??? These people come in, take over communities and in some cases implement sharia law. Have you talked to any Brits lately - those who have been to England?

Your post was too logical for Obama to understand.

For Obie the problem is the Europeans are white, so they must be the reason why the ME Muslims are not assimilating.

One last thought - when are the true Asians gong to insist the media stops lumping Islamic terrorists with them? If I were a person with heritage from China, Japan, Korea or other Asian countries, I would protest loudly

"Our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations - they feel themselves to be Americans."

Omar Abdel-Rahman (The Blind Sheikh), Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev (Boston Marathon bombers), Nidal Malik Hasan (Fort Hood shooter), Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad (Little Rock recruiting office shooter), Faisal Shahzad (Times Square attempted bomber), Hesham Mohamed Hadayet (LAX shooter), and Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar (UNC Chapel Hill SUV attacker) would all disagree. I'm sure there are more.

Here’s a clue, Barry...

The More-slums don’t want to integrate.
