The Straits Times on the claim by Lee Kuan Yew, published in his new book Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going, that Muslim integration in Singapore is failing:

In the book, Mr Lee, when asked to assess the progress of multiracialism in Singapore, said: “I have to speak candidly to be of value, but I do not wish to offend the Muslim community.

Right-wing Malay rights group Perkasa slammed Mr Lee, saying he seemed to be adapting the same tactic as non-Muslim opposition leaders in Malaysia who raised sensitive issues without bothering about Muslim sensitivities. (an acronym for "usual losers lacking brain and arguments, who feel offended, stomp their feet, cry and get nasty". HF)

It was only natural, that Jerusalems Imam Ali al Husseini admired Adolf Hitler for his anti-semitic ideology and action against Jewish people. Husseini asked the Fuehrers help to raise concentration camps for Jews in the then British mandate of Palestine, once the "End Sieg" was reached, and became a Wehrmacht officer.

The following article tells, why and how Mohammedian immigrants and Neo-Nazis continue this tradition: Its the common hate for Jews, and the similar totalitarian, homophobic structures of Faschism and Islam. The article is either too difficult or a slap in the face of the politically correct. It also shows how seemingly contradictory groups cooperate and that the awareness for this problem has arrived in the center of a braoder audience.

"Neo-Nazi and (muzzie) migrants Hand in Hand"

The common denominator is the anti-Semitism - Talk about right and immigration It is a bizarre alliance: German extreme right, spread the alliance foreigners out slogans themselves with far-right Muslim migrants.

In twelve different spellings, Mohammed is the most popular first name for newborn boys in England and Wales.

Although the names Oliver, Jack and Harry are found in the first three places - as the Statistics Office in London published Wednesday - even combined they are overtaken by Mohammed in its different writings. 7549 newborns in 2009 received one of the different versions from the Arabic-derived first name ; 7364 boys were given by their parents the name Oliver. The most common spelling Mohammed ranked 16th Place.

In London it can be found on the fourth place of the most popular first names. In Birmingham, the second largest town in England, even at the top of the list. The largest rise in popularity in the last decade received the first name Alfie: acc the Statistics office, He gained full 60 places to number four of the most popular boys' names.

In the girls name Olivia retains the top spot before Ruby and Chloe. They are followed by Emily, Sophie and Jessica. Overall, the statisticians found 706 248 births in 2009 in England and Wales.

"Immigrants from the Muslim world have always known :

The Netherlands is the most tolerant country in Europe.

But after  Sep 11, 2001, a new wind is blowing here." 

The PVV, the anti-Islam party of Geert Wilders, has been in the elections last June, the third largest party and is now a cornerstone for the new minority government of Liberals and Christian right. Wilders warns that Islam is a dangerous ideology that seeks to dominate the Europe. He calls the Koran a fascist book that should be banned. He wants to restrict the influx of migrants from Muslim countries."

"In the Islamic world there are few rights for foreigners and religious or ethnic minorities. In virtually all Islamic countries, they are exposed to discrimination if they are tolerated by the majority population almost uncritically. Consider, for example, of the situation of migrant workers in the oil states. Bordering on slavery. They have practically no legal status, and cultural or religious right may well be no question. On the Arabian Peninsula, there is only one church, namely the mini-Sultanate of Oman."

Denmarks government calls for fighting against welfare fraud. Identifying social cheaters gets easier for administration and citizen.

Directly behind the baggage carousel, the employees of the Danish customs, police and the Labour Directorate in the early hours of Thursday at the Copenhagen airport was positioned. They were waiting for passengers from Syria and Turkey (ooops ?!)  They checked whether passengers in Denmark are registered as recipients of social assistance or unemployment benefit. The former may namely not travel abroad because they need to be readily available for the labor market. The latter must at least give some notice so the payment can be frozen for this period of receiving unemployment benefit.

600 passengers were checked that night, 72 (= 12 percent !) of them were after the raid on suspicion of benefit fraud. (!!!) "The campaign has paid off," said Morten Bergulf afterwards, a division director at the Directorate of Labour, the Danish Ministry of Employment is affiliated. since the controls at airports were intensified, the number of convicted welfare cheat is increased.

 The scandalous and humiliating events surrounding the departure of the French national team have only a superficial way of looking at anything to do with Islam. It is not only the communication form, its the relationship between players and coaches thats rather unusual: "Let's fuck you in the ass, dirty bastard." 
In her essay, Dr Gudrun Eussner writes: "These are the words corresponding to the Converted to Islam or Black back converted French national Bilal alias Nicolas Anelka fit to invade his religion (...) His conduct of the Islamic nature of the master race against "infidel" dhimmi, who dares to instruct him on that. His behavior is consistent with the nature of Islamic master race against the "infidel" dhimmi, who dares to teach him. It is the same style of Berlin-Neuköllns Muslim gangs, whose favorite words when at "fick disch (fuck you)" age are often cited in blogs. It shows once again the penis fixation and the latent homosexuality of Muslim men. Everyday life, struggle, war, everything is sexually charged, it will dragged thru dirt according the koran. 
It is so obvious this year to hear and read, that the resulting discrimination against women is looong forgotten. They are referred anyway to "Islamic cornfields only, who are appointed to the glory of Allah". Full essay how islam affects athlets, see translate.google.de/translate

Fifteen-year-old pupils from schools with high ethnic diversity perform worse than comparable pupils from schools with homogenous student populations. This applies not just to the immigrant children, but also to the pupils from the country in question.

For the latter group, the negative effect is strongest in school systems with a hierarchy of school types, such as the Dutch and German systems. What’s more, the number and origin of the immigrant pupils also plays an important role. Having a higher proportion of pupils from Islamic countries at a given school negatively influences the performance of all pupils at that school. But in contrast, a higher share of pupils from South and East Asia has a positive effect. This is just one of Jaap Dronkers’s conclusions from his empirical research using international PISA data, which he discusses in his inaugural lecture.

The only thing you could accuse the French-Senegalese scientists Tidiane N'Diaye of is, that the number of Africans enslaved by Mohammedians perhaps is too high. He counted 17 million displaced Africans. But does the exact number play a role?
He objects to the wide-spread reflex. that the trans-atlantic slave only involved Europe and America.  Will critics of the book seriously question that for 13
Centuries (7th to the 21st century without interruption ),  trafficking by arabo-mohammedians deported more Africans than by the transtlantic  slave trade (16th-19th century)?
He criticizes the self-censorship of the researchers, as if comparing the Arab-Mohammedian slave trade would downplay the transatlantic trafficking. However, in the educated, civilized west, slave trade has been banned as a crime against humanity a long time ago. its not about attacking the Arab States,  but about a long overdue investigation of a very dark chapter in the Arab-Mohammedian history. Tidiane N'Diaye has presented a major contribution to the history of Arabo-Islamic slave trade, which deserves  many readers throuout the violent zone populated by arab-mohammedians - and the community of the free, civilized, prosperous western world.

"Fascism, communism, genocide, slavery, racism, imperialism--the West has no shortage of reasons for guilt. And, indeed, since the Holocaust and the end of World War II, Europeans in particular have been consumed by remorse. But Pascal Bruckner argues that guilt has now gone too far."

It has become a pathology, and even an obstacle to fighting today's atrocities. Bruckner, one of France's leading writers and public intellectuals, argues that obsessive guilt has obscured important realities. The West has no monopoly on evil, and has destroyed monsters as well as created them--leading in the abolition of slavery, renouncing colonialism, building peaceful and prosperous communities, and establishing rules and institutions that are models for the world. The West should be proud--and ready to defend itself and its values. In this, Europeans should learn from Americans, who still have sufficient self-esteem to act decisively in a world of chaos and violence. Lamenting the vice of anti-Americanism that grips so many European intellectuals, Bruckner urges a renewed transatlantic alliance, and advises Americans not to let recent foreign-policy misadventures sap their own confidence. This is a searing, provocative, and psychologically penetrating account of the crude thought and bad politics that arise from excessive bad conscience.

Great praise for Germany. In a survey by the BBC launched the world's respondents give Germany the best grades. Germany enjoys the greatest affection for the French and neighbors in South Korea. Very few friends have the Germans in Pakistan, India and Turkey.

(...) As is common in families, the role of the outsider is firmly awarded: Iran is the most unpopular country in the study (2010: 15 percent) without exception and always. shares the basement with so characterful neighbors such as North Korea and Pakistan (both 16 percent). By the way, so are the Pakistanis who like Germany the least. Only 13 percent of Berlin's influence are positive. Anyone who believes that Germany's good values would come straight from the Muslim world is wrong. Very few friends we have, save in the Indians (22 percent) calculated in Turkey (33 percent). This suggests that the Germans are the least-liked there, where people know them best. That may not be. Because our biggest fans on God's earth live just next door, namely in France (84 percent positive reviews). Hard to believe.

Only one other country is estimated to us similar to the romantic West Rhine. Namely, in South Korea (82 percent). Why there, that can probably explain only family psychologist. ggogle auto translated from www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article7247146/Deutschland-ist-das-beliebteste-Land-auf-der-Welt.html#reqRSS
