Immigrants Learning

For John, BLUF:  Just because it was OK where you came from does not mean it is OK here.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The Discovery From Denmark's Crime Stats That the Left Doesn't Want You to See

From PJ Media, by Comedian Kevin Downey, Jr, 25 March 2024, 3:46 PM.

Here is the lede plus three:

A peek at the Danish crime statistics from 2010-2021 delivered a gut punch to the globalists looking to tear down Western cultures by gavaging "asylum seekers" into Europe and North America. It turns out that Muslims commit violent crimes way more than people of Danish descent.

Back in 2020, Mattias Tesfaye, Denmark's minister for Immigration and Integration, did the unthinkable and decided to create a category for criminals from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), mostly Arab and/or Muslim nations. Guess what Denmark learned? MENA immigrants have a higher tendency for unemployment and violent crime than any other ethnic group in Denmark.

Leftists flipped their wigs when Denmark "singled out" the group — largely Muslim men — for committing the lion's share of crimes.

"Amazing, why not give them a little symbol to stitch on their clothes, so we can keep an eye on them," a social media commentator blasted, trying desperately to compare the peaceful Jews of Europe sent to concentration camps with the violent and unemployed Muslims of Denmark.

The article contains this little gem:  "Muslim/Arab men are convicted for rape in Denmark seven times more than Danish-born men."  This suggests that different cultures may have different values.  This, in turn, raises questions of immigration.  Are you, as an immigrant, supposed to adapt to the host culture, or should you be able to bring your culture with you?

We should be open to other cultures.  The Amish live in the United States without issues.  In the same way, there are Orthodox Jewish Commnunities, like Kiryas Joel, that are an entity, but fit like a puzzle piece in the larger puzzle of the United States.  However, the host nation must make clear that outside the specific immigrant community, host nation laws will be applied.  And sometimes within the immigrant community, for example, Sati (or Suttee) would likely not be tolerated in this nation.
