MIM: Austrian goverment study concludes that 45% of Muslims don't want to integrate

A controversy has erupted over the newly released Austrian government study which revealed that 45% of Muslims in Austria are unwilling to integrate. The study has prompted calls on the part of young Muslims for the Interior Minister Prokop to resign, accusing her of racism ,and Muslims have claimed they have been victimised as a result of the study which was characterised by opponents as "fodder for fanatics". . Within a week after the findings were made public, Minister Prokop had succumbed to Muslim and critics pressure, and had stopped speaking of Muslims "unwillingness to integrate", saying instead that the report showed that there were"great distances" between the Muslims and Austrian society. http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=2454091

Professor Mathias Rohe, an expert on Islam who co authored the study. defended the findings and declared: "We have to declare our conclusions to the world,without falsifying the results' explaining that "It was not the intention to make generalisations." "The point was to identify a problem area".

The Muslims in the study were divided into four categories:

Religious Conservative :18 %

Traditional Conservative:27%

Moderate Liberal:31%

Secular: 24%

Interior Minister Prokop combined the two first categories and declared those to be the 45% who were not interested in integration. Prokop explained that the study had been prompted by the July 7th attacks in London because the Austrian government wanted to know "how our integrated Muslims live and they feel about themselves". Prokop announced that the results of the study which ; "showed that 45% were not interested in intergration. adding, We have to be careful not to adopt the attitude which we have seen in France or in Berlin .

"Until now Europe has been sleeping in the wake of this time bomb". A recent study revealed that there are 14,86 million Muslims in the EU countries, accounting for 3,23 procent of the population. In Austria there are about 350,000 Muslims in population of 8,05 million. The 45% percent of Austrian Muslims who were deemed unwilling to integrate translates into potential radicalisation . A new study made across the border in Germany , concluded that there were 32,100 extremist Muslims in the country, up from 300 the year before.



Comment: No country is obliged to keep within its borders persons, of any ethnicity or religion, who reject the host country. Every country is permitted to set standards for migrants, standards which much be reached or the migrant returns whence he/she came.

Just because life is very tough in country A, it does not follow that Country B must take in the unhappy folk from Country A. Perhaps life in Country A is so tough because the ideology of country A is backward and primitive and can't function in the modern world. This is a challenge for the folk in country A, not a cost to be borne by country B.

Is anyone awake in Canberra?
