"Resistance is Futile" The Borg

From Cafe Babel an expert for the European Society, Law and Religion research centre at Strasbourg’s Robert Schuman University advises Euroweenies to suck it up and become Muslim. An excellent example of a fifth columnist at work paralyzing the will to resist.
Must these Muslim communities adapt to fit into Europe?
The question, indeed the challenge, is not so much one of adapting Islam to our European society but of adapting our society to Islam. Discriminatory attitudes against the Muslim community increase Muslim frustration and harden the resolve of certain groups who turn to radicalism. The challenge for us is to create a framework in which Muslims may be integrated into our society as fairly as possible. Most European states use public money to fund religious groups yet Islamic groups very rarely actually receives such money. European mentalities and bureaucracies need to change. In Belgium, for example, Muslim groups cannot receive public funds because the authorities do not acknowledge them as representative bodies.
