I would say a better analogy would be a ruling that stops Christians from practising their faith as they see fit and then guess whether semi-pious Christians would be for or against it.

If not hand shaking is such a big deal for Muslims how come there was only one Swiss newspaper report about a refusal to shake hands?
There are ca. half million Muslims here.

said there was no religious justification for refusing to shake a female teacher's hand and urged the Swiss not to give in to extremist demands.
But one Islamic organisation said a handshake between men and women was prohibited.

Source

The family of the two teenagers, who refused to shake their female teachers’ hands for religious reasons, have had their application for citizenship suspended.

So the question about what happens in cities with a majority Muslim population is answered by; they will never get citizenship due to their lack of integration so will never get a vote and therefore nothing happens!

I just used CH as an example, it will be fine for a long time - mostly because they don't pander to other cultures, they expect people to fit in and they make people earn their citizenship.

Other countries could learn a lot from CH.

Yes, perhaps an interesting question, although you've failed to show anywhere that Muslims are being stopped from practising their faith, so it's not really relevant to the discussion.

You've tried to show that some things that Islam doesn't forbid are disallowed in 'the West', but not that they're being prevented from doing anything that their religion specifically requires.

I think the previous statement you were replying to
is much more like the sorts of examples you've been using, actually.

In the UK amongst other requirements you have to take a formal examination to show you understand the UK as described in an official book "Life in the United Kingdom, A Guide For New Residents"

You also have to show you are of good character; you must have shown respect for the rights and freedoms of the UK, observed its laws and fulfilled your duties and obligations as a resident of the UK.
Checks will be carried out to ensure that the information you give is correct.

And it's a difficult test. This is the first one I've passed, having failed 3 others in previous years

Also known as 'closing the stable door after the horse has bolted'

Perhaps you could explain your rather strange comment?
"Checks will be carried out to ensure that the information you give is correct.", these checks are prior to granting citizenship?

I said about Switzerland "they don't pander to other cultures, they expect people to fit in and they make people earn their citizenship"

For some reason you then started talking about the UK. Freudian slip?

Somebody should change this thread's title. What Muslims? I think we keep mixing up a lot of things here. Are we talking about cultures, refugees or Muslim immigrants from all over the world? All conflated in a single thread?
European Muslims are all right and are here to stay. Whatever some other people choose to do in the Middle East or Pakistan or Indonesia is their business! Their cultures, their mentality, their way of living.

I don't know which other title would be better, but this sounds like a joke. Or very provocative....to say the least.

I guess that’s because all the other migrant/refugee threads got closed.

I'm not sure what was left to say about it. This is a thread I'd like to see closed because the motives of splitting another thread and naming this part like this were very questionable from the very beginning. Almost like a trollish "newbie"'s kind of threads.
If it was after me, same would happen to "A shooting happened.........", "Will Trump....." the Brexit gazillions of threads are nauseating too, considering the amount of wild enthusiasm and understanding for the poor voters was in the beginning "Yay for Brexit, hurray!!!!"....and now people want to reconsider and reconcile...really? etc etc etc But but what Medea Fleaceslister will do if she's not reporting us all the atrocities that have happened lately, and pronto? How would we live without that knowledge?
But each to their own, enjoy whatever you find....interesting..! I only hope you'll not feel like you wasted your time here.

The title of this thread is "All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe)".
Did you notice the word "Europe"? I was on topic.

Nawaz and the entire list from the humourously titled “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists” have been quietly removed from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website under legal threat

Get back tae work youse...

Wrong thread. Have not read the word muslim once in that article.

Does not make the incident less horrid. With family like this, who needs enemies!

Poorly English redacted BBC article.

Much more info in Italian:

"lei, musulmana, e il fidanzato che si professa cristiano"

"she, muslim, and the christian boyfriend"

The BBC is generally very sparing with this type of information.

It's BBC!
