It is apparent that some immigrants have a vastly different mindset and belief system and while that's not always bad, these beliefs could come from a more hateful and close minded world. These ideas can range from the nice ones like recipes and song and dance, to some more hateful like homophobia and sexism. This claim can be backed up with a large 53% of british muslims saying that homophobia should be illegal. Also with the word of the muslim …show more content…

This is supported by the fact that 56% of muslim immigrants don’t want to adapt to western culture, It doesn't help that the stigma between westerners and immigrants/foreigners is getting more brash. So with both sides not wanting to budge, what can we do? We introduce immigrants to our customs and ways early to not overwhelm them during their first encounter with western society. This helps immigrants get more engrossed in the culture and westerners not feel so alienated as well.
Some immigrants can be a bit obvious and extreme to our ways and laws.
The main example I use is the horrible Charlie Hebdo attacks, where a satirical magazine drew “unflattering” pictures of the prophet of the muslim faith, Muhammed, and where killed my muslim extremist. While these were acts done by extremist yes, the whole debacle (before and after the murders) caused a huge shake up in the muslim community, where thousands of people protested the building for their freedom of art and expression. This is also mirrored by a texas draw muhammed competition (whether or not it's in poor taste is irrelevant) where 2 armed gunmen tried to fire at the building before being promptly shot. I solely wish to introduce immigrants to our fair and justice laws so an incident can never happen

These test and restrictions do not come from a place of hate but improvement. I want to improve the mindset of people coming into the country as well as the mindset of people in it. And I feel this is the best way to work towards a world of peace and unison. These test mean to preach tolerance and love to all races, genders, and beliefs coming into the country.
