Immigrant Behavior Modification: Town Says No To Barbarians
January 31, 2007
Finally, someone is starting to stand up to the constant concessions countries are making to immigrants of Islamic, Hassidic and other extreme or fanatic religious backgrounds.
And it is a small town in Canada. In Quebec of all places. It almost sounds surreal.
The town of Herouxville passed a measure which is aimed at informing new residents what to expect living there. It kindly mentions that you can’t do things like throw acid on women, stone them, and that they are allowed to sign checks and dance.
It also let them know that locals eat meat, drink alcohol and don’t want Sikhs wearing daggers around town. Finally: a town with the guts to tell immigrants those things have no place in civilized Western societies and that they need to adapt to a new set of rules!
I don’t know of any people in civilized nations that are complaining about not having the right to throw acid on women at a whim except Muslims, but who knows—perhaps liberals and the ACLU will start whining about it soon.
Part of the reason racism never goes away is because immigrants keep demanding special and preferential treatment. For those that are unhappy with having to live like natural citizens in civilized western nations that don’t believe in public stonings and circumcision of women against their will, may we suggest that perhaps they ought to go back where they came from?
Unlike immigrants in the past who came to build nations—and have—the latest wave of immigrants come here largely to profit from all the hard work that generations of others have done—while demanding special treatment. They don’t want to be Americans or Canadians, or Brits, or Danish—they want to be what they were before, but just live in a more developed country with more perks and better jobs.
That way they can send money back home to support others who have no respect or regard for Western civilization.
Instead of fighting for change in their own countries, they try to emigrate to developed nations and drag them back into barbaric practices, because they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up and work for or fight for change in their own countries.
Herouxville, you’re doing the right thing. You’re a town worthy of respect. Don’t give in, ever.

Interesting response from Huntingdon, don’t you think? The better choice is pretty clear. No?

I doubt the newspaper article will be available past 7 days but I have cut-and-paste it if you need to see it…
Enjoy your day, Sean…

While that might work for that one town, I doubt it will work for all towns. And the problem isn’t just one that Herouxville faces. It’s a challenge for communities not only in Canda and the USA, but in western Europe as well.
Getting along is great. But people that built communities shouldn’t have their freedom to live as they have (which is within the law) forced into change because newcomers refuse to adapt or fit in to a new society. At some point, you have to realize that the reason a different civilization or society is attractive to an emmigrant is that some new country isn’t like the one they are leaving.
If on the other hand, they’re only looking for a way to legally and surreptitiously expand the borders of their own cultures and civilizations, it’s not a good thing. Bringing aspects of one’s culture into a new country is great and both sides can benefit from the experience. However, when it’s brought in with the goal of simply taking advantage of economic opportunities and there is no assimilation into the new culture, no loyalty to the new nation and its values and ways of life, then it only serves to weaken the nation that has invited the immigrant within its borders, cause conflict and dissention.
Immigrants should bring certain aspects of their culture to a new country. But other aspects should be left behind. In my own opinion, those who think an entire community should cater to their special needs that arise out of their religious or personal beliefs ought to reconsider and perhaps find another place to live.
What if the shoe were on the other foot? What if Canadians and Americans moved to the Middle East and demanded that Muslims not force women to cover up? What if they demanded equality for women because it offends their western values that women are relegated to second class citizens hardly above the status of indentured serfs?
What if Americans demanded that pork should be available on restaurant menus and that beer should be legal—because not allowing alchohol was discrimination?
I don’t think they would like it either.
