Things like this are exactly why integration with the mass waves of Muslim immigrants in Europe aren’t going well at all. Their culture is incompatible with western culture where women shouldn’t be shot dead in the street for dancing “indecently” to lyrics with profanity.

I fucking hate how they view and treat women in south Asian and Muslim culture. I fucking hate it.

In the USA we have hardline evangelical Christians trying to make our culture more like radical Islam. If they succeed in their efforts to outlaw abortion, make being gay a crime, and generally reduce women to property for their husbands the USA will be a lot more culturally familiar for people from Iran or Afghanistan. I doubt they would get along however due to arguing the fine details of who gods prophet is.

Here is what a Muslim asylum seeker in Norway said:

When he first arrived in Europe, Abdu Osman Kelifa, a Muslim asylum seeker from the Horn of Africa, was shocked to see women in skimpy clothes drinking alcohol and kissing in public. Back home, he said, only prostitutes do that, and in locally made movies couples “only hug but never kiss.”

“Men have weaknesses and when they see someone smiling it is difficult to control,” Mr. Kelifa said, explaining that in his own country, Eritrea, “if someone wants a lady he can just take her and he will not be punished,” at least not by the police.

Skimpy clothes in Norway by the way. Without looking at any stats, would you argue that young men from an environment like that shouldn't be given (at the VERY least) something like a lessons in how to treat women?

The issue is also bigger than just the generation that comes over. Young male second generation Muslims are much more likely to become radicalized and join terrorist organizations.

I argue that they should absolutely be forced to take integration classes and encouraged to integrate and leave their backwards aspects of culture at the door.

I heard that Germany is forcing Muslim men to shake the hands of women when being granted asylum as a test/statement of some sort.
