#2 after decades of politicians refusing to accept its status as an immigrant country

Germany an "immigrant country"? Won't go well with the german notion of nationhood... what a bunch of crap, no european country is an "immigrant country", or at least, was, until the past 30 years or so with massive and unprecendented immigration from alien cultures. There basically has been more immigration to France since 1976 than in the last 2000 years total, and this is not an exageration, and I don't recall reading much about pakistani enclaves in the Shakespeare plays I've studied.

Blood & Soil is what they are and have been all along, not that there anything wrong with that, on the contrary. But the french revolution has blurred the lines, changing the notion of Patrie (patria, nationality defined as a "family", Blood & Soil again, much like the german idea of germanhood) into the one of Nation (the Nation as an idea, a common destiny to which anyone can adhere), and blurred citizenship and nationality. And in fact nationalism is a creation of the *left*, a direct heir of the french revolution, like many other harmful "isms".

#3 I have no problem at all with the USa being a "Nation of immigrants", even if that's currently used to cover "excesses" to say the least, this is what you are, fine, and good for you. But Europe and european countries are not "Nations of immigrants", period.

#4 Turks to boycott "Integration Summit"

Sounds like they're assimilatin' jez fine.

Like I was just saying, simply ask for reciprocity ...

This is the key to dealing with all Islamic societies. The West had better begin demanding reciprocity on a number of issues. Freedom of religion should top the list. A Western ban on the practice of Islam needs to hinge on the MME (Muslim Middle East) ending religious intolerance. If Muslims want equal rights in Western countries then they'd damn well better start complying with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that all them signed in order to join the UN where they vote down so many of America's proposals. If Muslims want to squawk about "Islamophobia" then they'd better SHUT THE FUCK UP about genocide against the Jews. If Muslims want a stop to negative portrayals of Islam in the West then they'd better stop printing school textbooks showing Americans and Jews as pigs, dogs and monkeys. Reciprocity, it must become mandatory and no longer remain an option.

#5 Reciprocity is the foundation of civilisation.

It's absence from islam, means islamic countries absence from civilisation.

It's the basis of trade, law, property rights and liberty.

#6 Reciprocity is the foundation of civilisation.

Bravo, BP! Reciprocity is a one-word summation of the golden rule. Reciprocity is the bedrock of the social contract. Islam's refusal to recognize this basic fact excludes it from all further consideration as a player in civilized society.

#7 Here's why.

Add "Comparative advantage" and "Division of Labour" and you get the reason any western country could crush every muslim country.
