Some Harsh Truths About the UK's Islamic Future--and Ours

This--a cogent analysis by Andrew J. McCarthy, a longtime expert on the subject of terrorism and jihad--is exactly the sort of thing that may soon be branded "Islamophobic" and therefore illegal in Justin "The Totalitarian Squish-Brain" Trudeau's Canada's. So you best read it now, while you still can.

McCarthy's conclusion: while Muslims are as "diverse" as can be, Islam, sad to say, is not. And its ways of perceiving the world and its own place in it are entirely incompatible with Western thinking:
There is diversity in Islam, including millions of Muslims who adhere only to its spiritual elements or see themselves as more culturally than doctrinally Islamic. But when we speak of Islam, as opposed to Muslims, we are not speaking about a mere religious belief system. We are talking about a competing civilization — that is very much how Islam self-identifies. It has its own history, principles, values, mores, and legal system.
Islam, thus understood, is not non-Western. It is anti-Western. 
Like the conversion of [London jihadi terrorist Khaled] Masood, the conversion of Birmingham has been a function of this defining Islamic attribute. Individual Muslims may assimilate, but Islam doesn’t do assimilation. Islam does not melt into your melting pot. Islam, as Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna proclaimed, is content with nothing less than political, cultural, and civilizational dominance. 
As Soeren Kern relates in a comprehensive Gatestone Institute report on Islam in Britain, the metamorphosis of Birmingham, along with several other U.K. population centers, signifies this resistance. When the Islamic presence in a Western community reaches a critical mass, Islam’s hostility to Western mores and demands for sharia governance result in non-Muslim flight. Marriages between Muslims resident in the Western community and Muslims overseas tend to result in childbirth rates and household growth that dwarfs that of the indigenous population. Arranged, intra-familial, and polygamous marriages, endorsed by Islamic mores, drastically alter the fabric of communities in short order. Birmingham, in particular, has been ground zero of “Operation Trojan Horse,” a sharia-supremacist scheme to Islamize the public schools. 
Kern repeats an account of life in “inner-city Birmingham” by the wife of a British clergyman, first published by Standpoint in 2011. She explained how the neighborhood in which she’d lived for four years had become a “police no-go zone,” in which the large number of newly arrived Somali immigrants now approached that of Pakistanis already resident. Then she recalled her husband’s encounter with an immigrant who had just arrived from Belgium — on an EU passport, like an increasing number of Muslims these days. The migrant was surprised when the clergyman asked why he had chosen to move into their neighborhood. Finally, he replied, “Everybody knows. Birmingham—best place in Europe to be pure Muslim.”
Best place to be "pure Muslim" in Canada?

It's a toss up, really. Some say Toronto; others say Montreal. You can be certain, though, that in Justin's Trudeaupia, a realm addicted to fairy tales, bromides and virtue signaling of the most frantically aggressive variety (why, the frenzied way it's done here almost qualifies it as an Olympics-worthy sport), we will have more than a few "no-go zones" and "sharia-supremacist schemes" in our future.
