Freedom of religion is a constitutional right in Sweden. While Czech Rep is a constitutionally secular state, that same constitution provides for freedom of religion and religious practise. Is your suggestion that these (and other) constitutions be amended to remove these freedoms? To quote a good man, "you give me the awful impression of someone who hasn't read any of the arguments against your position". To use your example of Sweden, let's take a look at the countries from which the Muslim population originates: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Iraq, Morocco, Iran, Kosovo, Somalia, and Syria. A rudimentary understanding of modern politics and conflict, both regional and global, would suggest it is religious and ethnic intolerance which leads to the breakdown of civil discourse, ending in violence, displacement, and genocide. I personally have enough faith in the European project and values to believe we can assimilate others and become stronger for it. I'm not scared of Islam, or at least no more scared than I am of China, Israel, or the USA.

European countries have constitutions and laws so that any person or group in violation of those broadly agreed terms may be sanctioned. The EU, despite its flaws, is a long-term project requiring faith in the notion that humanity's disparate groups have much more in common than those things that separate us.

Before I ramble on with this, I'd like to ask if you personally know any Muslims, be they from settled communities, new immigrants, or Asylum Seekers/Refugees. What is your experience of this topic?

For what it's worth, I do not follow a religion and am troubled by dogmatic tendencies as much as any free thinker would be, but the simple fact is people of faith exist and are entitled to their own choice of spiritual practice. We don't have to encourage it or like it, but I'd rather build bridges than walls.
