London’s Mayor Khan does not want assimilation.
He does not want integration. He wants accommodation by Britain.
Today’s leftist crybullies, however,
does not accommodate traditional Christian British values. Rather these values
are called “racist, sexist, Islamophobe, homophobic, transphobe,” or a similar
slur. Such slurs especially effective as a tactic
when deployed against white liberals and multinational corporations.
The West’s Superpower is the ability to tune out “ism” and “phobe” accusations. We need
to develop and exercise this superpower.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan on the Breakdown
of Social Integration
Mayor Khan said he would like more
"asylum seekers" and "refugees," and advocated "social
integration."
"I don't mean
assimilation," he stressed; "I mean social integration."
He loosely defines social integration as "a level playing field" with
a clear set of values and laws, but he left the difference between social
integration and assimilation—perhaps intentionally—unclear. Doesn't Britain
already have clear values and laws?
What Mayor Khan seemed to be saying
by advocating "social integration" rather than
"assimilation" is that he not eager for Muslims to become more like
the British
("assimilation") but that he would be comfortable with
the British adapting to the Muslim way of life. The presence of more Muslims
might accelerate this process of the British having to adapt to the way of life
of a Muslim majority ("social integration").
What that would be followed by is
anyone's guess. The historical pattern has been to invite the non-Muslims to
convert, and those who do not are relegated to the status of second-class
citizens or dhimmis, who willingly live under different laws for those
of a lower status, who pay a yearly tax (jizya) to subsidize Muslims,
and who accept being dominated rather than face up to the threats of violence
that would come from not accepting it.
The Mayor never explained why
assimilation -- along the lines of the common culture melting pot of the United
States -- would not provide a level playing field and an even more
harmonious society.
