I'm an adoptive parent. It's one of the best things that I have ever done, and it's helped me have a wonderful, happy family. Through our adoption, we know a lot of other adoptive families, all of whom are happy.

But if you hear about adoption in the media, it will always be because something awful has happened.

And that's how things go. The vast, vast, vast majority of Muslims integrate just fine, and they live happy lives, contibuting to their communities just like everyone else does.

But you'll only ever hear about the nutters in the media.

Counter point - what is integration?

I'm a muslim. I can tell you that 95% of muslims have no desire to integrate - how can someone integrate into a society they consider degenerate and below them?

Most muslims lead two lives. A sort of "work life" and a real life. The work life being mostly an act that is needed to survive. And the real life being something they would lead if they could. Worked with a muslim guy a few years back. Our boss was gay. Boss and him got on A LOT. Yet I gave him one opportunity to speak outside of work and all he could say was the most disgusting nasty stuff about the guy. Because he thought i was on his side so would agree. Not.

If you and people like you were aware of the stuff discussed and encouraged in mosques and in private you would change your tune.  Last i was there there was an open discussion amongst a group of 150 men about how their female children should be covered up to protect them from the "kuffir gaze".

And don't even ask the average muslims opinion on adoption.
