Who said anything about Islam? I'm not talking about Islam. I understand your views on Islam.
(FWIW, I don't read any of this as people trying to get you to "accept Islam," they're only suggesting to treat criminals like criminals and non-criminals like non-criminals.)
I never asked your culture to evolve or absorb anything. I'm only citing that it has, as the Anglo-Saxon comment made blatantly clear, but even Brexit is a perfect example that your culture evolves and absorbs - or whatever the opposite of absorb is.
You say your opposition to Islam has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with culture. Let's strip the religion from the conversation, then. If it's not about religion, then let's move away from the triggers and trappings of that language.
I get "that" you are attached to your sense of culture, and that it's important to you.
I don't get "why" you are so attached, and I don't get exactly what it is you mean when you talk about culture.
Can you answer the quations again in this context?
Why is culture so important to you?
Is your notion that culture is static over time?
Why do you feel like the culture you are familiar with is something you're entitled to forever?
