Well, if this guy is trying to reassure the British people that Muslims are fine, decent people who are not intent on imposing their views on the west he's taking a particularly weird tack to do so. Suggesting that Britons need arranged marriages won't exactly warm the cockles of the average Brit, I think.
His aim, he says, will be to encourage Britain to adopt more Muslim ways, as well as to encourage Muslims to be good British citizens. He thinks that non-Muslim Britons would benefit from having arranged marriages and espousing stronger family values; they would also do well to stop drinking and gambling and to follow many of the teachings of Islam.
Note to Dr. Bari: Telling the country you have moved to that they should adopt your ways is extremely arrogant and will tick people off. Trust me on that one.
UPDATE: The Big Pharaoh is all kinds of impressed with Dr. Bari's advice, too.
they would also do well to stop drinking
Yeah, that’ll go over great.
Yeah, that, too!
OK, here’s a test. Take a glass of fine wine (Democracy), and add a drop of poison (what these ***-clowns want). What do you have? Poison.
Take a glass of poison, add a drop of fine wine, what do you have? Poison.
Lesson: some things are mutually exclusive. You just can’t compromise on them.
Or is this the Liberal’s idea of ‘familly values’?
Well, he does exactly what christian people do, praising the values of his cultural heritage.
Now, yes it is not the best way to tell the world, that Muslims don’t try to impose their culture on everyone.
The same way, that we all know that christians try to convert everyone to the believes of their respective sect, with all good intentions.
Still, it’s not a lucky way these times…
“…Muslims don’t try to impose their culture on everyone.”
Help me Rhonda! Now that’s a laugher Roland, you should try to peddle that hogwash to the women of Afghanistan who endured the Taliban, or to the young people in Iran today. Imposing their culture is what Islam is all about, or haven’t you got the message yet?
Black Jack – you are judging the whole of Islam based on extremists.
That’s like basing your views on the spanish inquisition, or the Jehova guys, or the extremist african christians.
Or americans looking at their crusade to show everyone the superiority of their way.
Besides, your comment shows you have not even read what I wrote.
Stop the write only behaviour, and start to actually read the posts…
Where did I say that Muslims are not trying to impos their culture on everyone?
Have you ever heard the concept of “whole sentence”?
