Mr Garrotte added that it was natural for the host country to integrate endlessly to any immigrant group and its religion. “I think the ideal would be for all citizens as an example, to spend one week being like Muslim Arabs, then the following as tribal Africans, then say Animist Laplanders and so on. In this way the entire country could over a continuously rotating twelve month period, get through all ethnic identities while avoiding the now discredited idea of having a cohesive culture of our own”.
Garrotte then cheekily added with a laugh, “While I’m against the atom, I’m all for the atomisation of society!”
He continued that only “right wing racists, Neo cons and other fascists” still believed that the West had ever offered anything of worth. “Pick any third world or Islamic basket case, and they’re all superior to any Western country with it’s shallow and meaningless achievements of enormous economic triumphs, functioning democracies, scientific innovation, incredible freedoms, artistic expression and the full enjoyment of life. You call that living? Look, even if for arguments sake, Islam had some ‘sinister goal’, and it doesn’t, wouldn’t the answer be to just keep on being ever more tolerant?” ...

Dear Abandon Skip: Gee, thanks so much for quoting and posting me! It's great. The briefcase of money is in the mail! Of course Mr Garrotte is kind of based on and a thinly veiled Peter Garret kind of guy. I don't know if he wears a thin veil. Perhaps under his clothes so it's next to his skin...who knows? You have some terrific articles. All the best from sunny Prahran, Gateway to Richmond! colonelrobertnevilleblogspot.com
