Assimilation

Liberals are oft heard bemoaning the failure of European states to assimilate their Muslim minorities, minorities who they believe/claim want to assimilate. Hmmm, here's Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaking at a vast indoor auditorium in Germany on Sunday as he told 16,000 expatriate Turks to resist assimilation into the West.

"Assimilation is a crime against humanity... "I can well understand that you are against assimilation," he said. "It is important to learn German, but your Turkish language should not be neglected."


Expatica report that:

"He said ethnic Turks abroad should be more confident in standing up for their interests, and should win election as mayors and members of European national parliaments."




Do remember this story when you next hear David Miliband proclaiming the benefits of Turkey joining the EU and so giving 75 million Turks the right to live in the UK.
