In my travels to the United States, members of the Trump administration, Congress and the media have asked me a variation of the same question: “What advice would you offer Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, the first Muslim women to serve in the House of Representatives?”
It is a challenging question. I may be the secretary-general of the Muslim World League, but it’s not my place to counsel lawmakers — Muslim or not — elected and entrusted to represent their communities. My refrain is often along the lines of: “They should faithfully advocate for their constituents, and faithfully serve as custodians of the Constitution.”
It is perhaps an unexpected response. But it is one that reflects my view of inclusive national integration, and how best to promote tolerance toward people of all faiths and backgrounds.
As I tell my American friends in and out of government when they ask about the integration of Muslims, the majority in any country has vital obligations. For one, they must create a framework of identity independent of religious or ethnic affiliation. The binding element should be love of country. The universal ambition should be to enable meaningful contributions to society.
I have dwelled upon this matter deeply in the weeks since a crazed extremist gunned down 50 Muslims in their houses of worship and injured 50 others in New Zealand. This is not because the attack relates to the two congresswomen, but because the question goes to the heart of how we construe successful integration. My answer remains the same.

Interesting to see a prominent Saudi advocating assimilation in the culture of the host nation. What immigrants, not guest workers, are there to assimilate in Saudi Arabia.
... Taqiyya and more moderate lies
How does one call bullshit in Mohammedean?
Funny how he never dwells on the daily slaughter of Christians by muslims...
The Saudi’s have offered to build a bunch of mosques in Europe. Gee ain’t that great?
I dont give sheet what the guy says here is what he thinks
Muslim = Good
Christian = Bad
Jew = Devil
Note to Mohammad Alissa—— these 2 Skunks don’t give a damn what YOU think.
The more Islamic scum gain political power through demographics, it tightens the noose around a free society.
The blood of future slaughter victims of Islam rests squarely on the hands of liberals, leftists, atheists, and marxists in Western societies.
But the substance of his remarks are true, even if insincere Taqiyya.
How does one call bullshit in Mohammedean?
This guy is blowing smoke because he still goes to some mosque were he pay mosque taxes some or all of which go to support active jihadis.
Sounds like he’s snuggling up to Pope Frankie ... maybe they’ll become an item ...
