Check the links below it (under pats video), not the most reliable sources but...all i need is just one case to prove my point.
Fundamentalist Muslims/Christians/Jews culture has got to go...NO, NO tolerance to it.
Hell, even moderates do not speak out against them. A secular culture is the only one i'm willing to freely accept.
Let me explain the situation here, as i see it (and please do confront it):
Islam in Europe is growing
http://islamicweb.com/begin/results.htm
Major European countries harbor 5%-10% of Muslims.

True that these are not huge numbers (well depends on how you look at it), but most of them are concentrated in segregated communities.
Which only hinders their integration.
I see two way how to deal with integration.
One is if only a small number of people migrate, then they can self naturalize and become part of the society.
The other is when there is a "large" influx of immigrants. In this case you need to have a strong integration policy that can handle such large numbers. Sort of what the US had back then.
Our is quite poor, hell...we're even part of the problem

(A mix of mafia related smuggling and hate initiation)
The average Muslim age is younger that the national average
The average age of a British Muslim is 28 years. The national average is 41 years

Perfectly understandable due to their economic situation. But that doesn't mean we should just throw a blind eye on the whole issue.
Like i've said...i'm not against people from any muslim region, but Islamic culture is not to my liking. The west (intellectually) fought against the tyranny of Christianity for centuries, we should do the same with any medieval ideology.
Don't need to mention how contradicting i may be. You're talking from a theoretical point of view which i would agree in different circumstances, but in reality harboring someone who wishes to change your ways is asking for trouble.
Sure you might want to live in a multicultural society where you won't mind backward practices. I can't see myself doing that, especially if they would be forced upon me.
And please don't start with the racist, xenophobe comments because there is nothing racist or xenophobic about this.

Islam in Europe is growing
North America (1989-1998) 25%
Africa 2.15%
Asia 12.57%
Europe 142.35%
Latin America -4.73%
Australia 257.01%
Islam annual growth rate (1994-1995) from U.N. 6.40%
Muslims have increased by over 235 percent in the last fifty years up to nearly 1.6 billion. By comparison, Christians have increased by only 47 percent, Hinduism, 117 percent, and Buddhism by 63 percent. Islam is the second largest religious group in France, Great Britain and USA

Between 1999 and 2009, British Muslims will account for well over a quarter of the growth in the working-age population.

http://www.eumap.org/topics/minority/reports/eumuslims/background_reports/download/belgium/belgexec (check any country, you'll pretty much get the same results)Muslims are concentrated in the urban centres of Brussels and Antwerp, which are situated next to the former mining and industrial regions, and are distributed more or less evenly between the north and the south of the country. Moroccans are found mainly in Frenchspeaking areas of Belgium (Wallonia), in the south, as well as in the (bilingual) capital, Brussels (over 50 per cent of Moroccans). Half of the Turks live in the Flemish part of Belgium (Ghent and Antwerp), while a quarter live in Brussels (in particular Saint-Josse and Schaerbeek districts), and a quarter can be found in Wallonia.
