One bad apple to spoil the barrel.

“It only takes one bad apple to spoil the barrel”, - is that not the expression? The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “The entire [Muslim] world is one human body. If one does something bad, it affects everyone”. I have yet to see any goodness coming from that barrel to overcome the bad taste in our mouths.

Do Muslims really want to be part of our society?

Niqab - face covering worn by some
 Muslim tradionalists.

For instance:
  • the niqab - covering ones face so as to not be part of our societies' norms (This is a cultural dress and not religious).
  • wishing sharia law was used instead of our societies' laws.
    • killing their children who are trying to integrate.
    • refusing to accept our courts as the law and that only their religious book is justice.
These appear to be anti-social behaviours which in turn says anti country.
“A Muslim who meets with others and shares their burdens is better than one who lives a life of seclusion and contemplation”.
This is a quote from the Bukhari, although I have yet to see any humanitarian act from a Muslim (or group). The heads of Islam may speak out about horrible acts done in the name of Islam, but these are words, not acts. Do you see Muslims lobbying the governments in support of sending troops to these troubled lands?— no. Why not? 

Maybe our culture is considered the bad. “It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad, and it is better still to sit with the good than alone”. Who is backing who?

It is amazing the freedom one has in this country to do nothing........ but we are waiting.
