A MUSLIM GROUP is actively warning against integration, it has emerged.
Integration is “nothing but assimilation in different clothing”, according to Qasim Afridi of Glór Moslamach, writing in this week’s Metro Éireann.
“My organisation… has been a vocal opponent of integration,” he writes. “We won’t integrate. Why should we integrate, anyway? It’s nothing but assimilation in different clothing?”
He adds that “we kept this message within the Muslim community” at first, warning them of the “dangers of such ideas”.
“Every speech by these so-called Muslim ‘leaders’ revolves around integration as if it were the most important aspect and teaching of Islam,” he continues.
“But we have read the Qur’an from cover to cover, and the bulk of literature on the Hadith, and guess what? The word ‘ integration’ is not even mentioned once!”
The Pakistani-born doctor then quotes George Bernard Shaw, who once said: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
Afridi adds that the Irish Government could save money by abolishing its Office of the Minister for Integration, and should opt for a ‘department of minorities’ that recognises the “uniqueness of immigrant communities”.
