Macron Vows Crackdown on ‘Islamist Separatism’ in France President Emmanuel Macron’s speech addressed a deep-rooted problem in French society: its enduring difficulty to integrate significant parts of its large, nonwhite, Muslim population of immigrants and their descendants.

We have always had our problems in Ireland but at least we had a cohesive society and a sense of togetherness when needed. We are seeing that cohesiveness gradually deconstructed and eroded. For what? I don't see any tangible benefit to the road we are on. I see a more divided society and the ills it will bring.

Each country has a culture, if you move there you need to be at least open to the idea of assimilating with that culture - learn the language, have a skill we need in the economy, learn how the locals do things. I think if you don't do that you end up with ghettos. That said, if people are able to contribute and are willing to attempt assimilation - I don't see any reason to not welcome them. Many Polish people came here in the early 2000's and those who have stayed have completely added value to our country to name one example.

During Ramadan, the month of fasting, Muslims give to charity and schools could co-operate by “raising funds for the poor and the needy”. But, he points out, “any form of raffle is strictly forbidden in Islam”. No more raffles. RSE curriculum to be changed. Big changes to PE classes. "When it came to music some Muslims would see it as prohibited but “if music is performed using non-tuneable percussion instruments such as drums, most Muslims will have no problem”.Can you imagine if I landed into Iraq or Iran and started demanding changes to their schools? This lad is very confident, even brazen, that he suggests massive changes to music and physical education here. What is worse is that some Irish people, soft in the head, would probably agree with him, all in the name of pandering to the idea that "Ireland = bad" and "foreign imported culture" =good.

As a child, that was nearing completion for me, and I grew up in a devout family. Muslims are typically different, both for the religion itself, and the national cultures they're coming from. They're usually coming from societies with little in the way of social mobility, with layers of authority. Official, social, and religious. While Islam itself, tends to promote ideas of equality (for males), there tends to be the authority given to older people, and their leaders. An authority that doesn't tend to be questioned often. Peer/community pressure reinforces that authority, which means there will be a culture to silence preventing those within from speaking to those without. It's all very well to claim that you'd speak out against a paedophile priest when you live in a nation with laws that are enforced (and our communities won't judge you harshly for doing so).. but Islamic nations tend to be closer to police states where the laws are negotiable. The social rules themselves are similar dependent on the power of those within the community. Your claim is of one who doesn't acknowledge the very real differences between our culture and theirs. Don't get me wrong. I understand and appreciate your statement. I'd be similar. However, I know from conversations with older relatives that they wouldn't have been.... because they grew up in a very different Ireland. Just as those within Islam, also grow up in a very different Ireland. We must remember that other cultures can be far more strict and repressive than ours, and simply living in Ireland/Europe, is not going to reduce the influence of those cultures. That's why we should be wary of multiculturalism, and more importantly, of Islam. Islam being one of the most obvious series of cultures which are most likely to follow their own cultural norms, than ours.

Do we not have enough of our own Irish work shy that we need to import them from abroad? If we where actually getting Doctors and engineers don't think anyone would object, but that clearly ain't the case.

How much are you willing to dilute down the native population? What's the percentage? We need to start explicitly defining this line, because if we don't, we're going to wake up in less than 50 years as a minority in our own homeland if current trends continue, and there's no reason to think they won't. As recently as the 90s, Ireland was for all intents and purposes demographically homogenous. 95%+ Irish. Probably closer to 100% Irish really. Now it's a hair above 80%. 20% down in about 20 years. Are we ok with it getting to 70%? 60%? 50%? 10%? Is Ireland even Ireland at less than half the population being native Irish people? That's where we're heading like a freight train within a few decades unless something drastically changes. I don't want to be a disenfranchised minority in my own nation. I'm told every day how awful it is being a minority. I agree, which is why I don't want to be one. I am an Irishman who's family goes back centuries, perhaps millenia, on this land. I want my ethnic group to reign supreme here and to retain political and cultural hegemony on this island forever, and I make absolutely zero apologies about that. But if things continue as they are, that will soon not be the case, and no amount of "based Sikhs" are gonna somehow make it all ok.
