It is strange how Western politicians from many quarters insist that Muslim immigration is beneficial to the country, and that they are simply seeking a new home and freedom to worship how they may.
Of course that is not how things play out in most predominantly Muslim countries, where there are often as not strict laws and requirements for the public to follow local laws, particularly where Sharia law is practiced such as in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
There is certainly no exception for believers of other faiths, and in many cases there are onerous regulations that equate to simple discrimination against non-Muslims that make life quite difficult.
Contrast that with Western countries, most of which are based on a Judeo-Christian history and culture. In those countries, freedom of thought and action is highly prized, and there are strict laws against religious discrimination or limitation. There is, however, an assumption that immigrants will conform with national laws and mores, and will reasonably assimilate into the general society and culture in order to show respect to the host country and to prevent a fractured society with disparate laws and systems.
The dramatic shift of large Muslim populations migrating from Muslim majority countries to Western countries has brought with it quite a surprise. These groups, who are presumably coming to a new country to enjoy the additional benefits and freedoms afforded in their new homes, are showing increasing resistance to basic forms of assimilation. Muslims are taught that the law of Allah supersedes all man made laws, and they are expressing a desire to live under Sharia or Islamic religious law, to the exclusion of home country law to which they are subject. This preposterous situation can only lead to chaos and ultimately to the death of Western culture.

Guide to Understanding Islam: In Islam, loyalty is to Allah and his religion. It cannot be to a kafir country. As the former mufti of the Grand Mosque in Mecca put it in a recent fatwa, “His homeland may not be Islamic, so how can he be loyal to his homeland?”
Scholar Jamal Badawi (a favorite of CAIR) insists that, “Muslims should not melt in any pot except the Muslim brotherhood pot.”
Recap Erdogan, the Turkish leader who began his country’s transition from secularism to Islamism in thuggish fashion said, “You cannot be both secular and a Muslim! You will either be a Muslim, or secular. And why is that? Because Allah, the creator of the Muslim, has absolute power and rule.”
A CAIR executive director (in the United States) recently said, “if we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.”
The Calcutta Qur’an Petition says of Muslim communities that “even fresh converts tend to become highly orthodox people and follow the sayings of [the Qur’an] with a fanatical zeal with the result that whichever country as their sizable number amongst its population can never have peace on its soil.” Where Muslim minorities exist, there is unusual social strain manifested by dissention, demand and disloyalty – as well as a cohesive group identity that resists self-reflection and thrives on the perception of victimization by the majority.
Islam teaches that nations are in one of two major categories – Dar-al Harb (house of war) and Dar-al-Islam (Muslim rule). Any nation that is not Muslim is therefore, by definition, at war with Islam (or, at best, in contradiction to the preferred order). Muslims cannot be expected to maintain loyalty to a nation that is at war with their religion.
To be fair, some Muslim scholars contend that there is a middle ground, Dar al-Ahd (land of covenant) or Dar al-Sulh (land of truce), in which non-Muslim countries agree to allow Muslims to practice their faith and evangelize freely in exchange for peace (rights that are formally denied to infidels in Islamic lands). Scholars consider this a transitional period leading to the eventual triumph of Islam via conversion.
The practical definitions of Dar al-Ahd and Dar al-Sulh are somewhat nebulous. Some feel, for example, that denying Muslims their own system of law and Sharia courts constitutes an interference with Islam. Others believe that these states of condition only applied in Muhammad’s day. Still others feel that a truce has a ten year-limit, and can be broken at any time by the Muslim party.
Another difficulty with these “middle ground” options is that there is no central authority to declare which non-Muslim nations fall outside the category of Dar al-Harb. Ultimately, true Muslims are citizens of the ummah (Islamic community) and not of any country – and the ummah currently has no recognized leader.
Even a government of Muslims is not necessarily a Muslim government. Islam requires Islamic law, therefore theocracy is the only pure form of government. In fact, this is what propels the vast majority of violence in the Muslim world, which victimizes nominal Muslims more than any other group.
Although Muslim apologists sometimes claim that Islamic terrorists aren’t Muslim by virtue of the fact that they kill other Muslims, the Qur’an advocates striving against both unbelievers and hypocrites, the latter of which are Muslims who profess Islam, but do not support Islamic rule over the way of the infidel as required (see Muslim 20:4696).
Hypocrites include any government which does not uphold strict Sharia, as well as those that make alliances with a non-Muslim country (thereby making covenants and truces quite difficult to legitimize). This is the real reason terrorists kill fellow Muslims, particularly local police, troops and officials who are in the service of such governments.
One of the most influential Islamic scholars of the modern age, Egyptian Sayyid Qutb, says that Muslims have a duty to overthrow any non-Islamic government by violent means. He explains:
“Islam is not merely a belief, so that it is enough merely to preach it. Islam, which is a way of life, takes practical steps to organize a movement for freeing man. Other societies do not give it [Islam] any opportunity to organize its followers according to its own method, and hence it is the duty of Islam to annihilate all such systems, as they are obstacles in the way of universal freedom. Only in this manner can the way of life be wholly dedicated to Allah, so that neither any human authority nor the question of servitude remains, as is the case in all other systems which are based on man’s servitude to man.” [Quoted from Andrew Bostom’s The Legacy of Jihad]
Elsewhere, Qutb puts it even more bluntly:
The foremost duty of Islam in this world is to depose Jahiliyyah (unbelievers) from the leadership of man, and to take the leadership into its own hands and enforce the particular way of life which is its permanent feature.” [Quoted from Robert Spencer’s Religion of Peace?]
In a book promoted by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Islamic scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi writes that “Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation that rules it. Islam requires the earth – not just a portion – but the whole planet.” (source)
Whether or not a Muslim believes in active rebellion against secular or non-Muslim rule (and most may not), it is does not change the fact that Islam is defined by allegiance to Allah and his self-proclaimed messenger, Muhammad. Therefore any extraneous loyalty that is in contradiction to what Allah has already established would be strictly forbidden.
[It should be noted that Muslims as individuals vary widely in their understanding of and allegiance to Islam. While ideological scrutiny may be appropriate for certain sensitive positions in the intelligence, military or law enforcement communities, simply being a Muslim is not sufficient grounds for denying employment to or making assumptions about any such individual.]
