Ask Salman Rushdie. He wrote about the failures of integration, the manipulation of the religion among many, many other things

Subsequently received a Fatwa for his work. The controversy at the time caused so much violence & intolerance from the Muslim community globally he needed protection from the Iron Lady.

Now here's part of the catalyst that lead us to where we are now. I think it's incredibly interesting and so should anyone else. At the time of this, late 80's. A man called Shabbir Akhtar, spoke to the commission for racial equality, insisting that 'Muslim sensibilities be protected from provocation'. Which can be interpreted as ANYTHING, and consistently is on a daily effing basis, that's why we're all racist infidels!

A journalist at the time was quoted saying. "We are witnessing, I fear, the birth of a new and dangerously illiberal "liberal" orthodoxy designed to accommodate Dr Akhtar and his fundamentalist friends."

25 years later and look at Britian. Those who made such statements then were admonished as bigots. Now it seems they were bang on.
