The difference is that the leadership know full well what they are doing. Their goal is to dilute and diminish Islam as a political movement by exposing more and more impoverish Muslims to the glory and enlightenment of Western culture and Western thought. Who can resist the Western style of living once exposed to it? 'Who can deny how wonderful and enlightened we are?', they ask each other.
They realize that this will take a generation or two, and that many will die [Allah Akbar] in the meantime, but since it does not affect them personally in their cloistered world, they don't care. They are willing to sell the lives of their own people to achieve the greater goal of reigning in Islam and bringing it into the fold of State sanctioned 'controlled' religions.
Having said that, the worst of the proponents of Islam are the stupid people, the idiot Liberals who have swallowed what the elite are selling them and believe that Islam is "just another religion" like Christianity or Judaism. This could not be more ignorant.
Islam is a violent, deadly, political, hegemonistic, culture and way of life. 'Religion', as the West thinks of religion, is only one small aspect of what Islam is. When I see Christians swooning and smiling because another Mosque goes up in their neighborhood, I can only look down, shake my head and think, 'those poor fools'. "Look how diverse we are!"
A Mosque in Islam is an outpost. It is a military installation marking the farthest point of conquest. When Muslims build a Mosque, it is a regional garrison claiming all the surrounding area in the name of Allah. It is nothing even close to 'a place of worship' the way Americans think of it, it is much more of a forward operations base. And we can plainly see this playing out all over the world. None are more blind than those who are willfully blind.
But, the elites will eventually get what they want. Islam and the West necessarily must come into conflict at one point or another. The rich elites will be protected and far away from it, only to return and profit from the ashes no matter who, if anyone, comes out on top. How many people die in the coming maelstrom is of no concern to them, as long it helps them to keep their money, their power, and their social status, which is of course the whole point.
All of this push for "integrating" Islam into the West for 'diversity' is just a ruse. The real point is to push conflict and division, so the masses do not have time to worry about what the rich, the elite, and the politicians are doing, or how they are profiting from the mess they are deliberately creating.
Diversity is bullshit. It is a scam. Billionaires do not give a damn about 'diversity', in the real sense of the word. They only care about how pushing diversity on the masses can benefit them. The hippy true believers; the 'Oh so enlightened, intellectual Liberals, are all simply fools and puppets, being played by billionaires for no other reason than to make themselves even more rich.
Have another $8 cup of Starbucks coffee/koolaid idiot. Please, clutch your $800 sweater and rant about how dumb Republicans are and how smart you are. But you better do it quickly, before some Muslim blows the place up while yelling about how great his God is. And trust me, if that happens, he will not care the least tiny bit if you supported him coming here.
