I was replying to Gary. He did not reply.
What makes you think I am unfamiliar, and why is this post all about me and not about the topic?
But, I'm happy to correct this lack of awareness, and have thus provided you with plenty of suggested reading material.The Old Testament is there to give a history of the Jewish people, from whom Christ came. It documents his promised coming and the errors of the Jewish people in following Gods will and commands. Christ offered a rebirth into God's commands and will, which was reinforced with Christ's command of Love One Another.

You seemed unaware of a significant portion of the history of your chosen faith. Blissfully so, even.

Did God command his people to slay and enslave their neighbors and take their land?

I was raised Christian and can't recall ever entering a Christian church that didn't have bibles with both testaments.
Then you know why both Testaments are there.
Why do you think both Testaments are there, since you seem to have little familiarity with the Old Testament?

Last time I checked they are predominately Muslim and killing Christians.
Why do you seek answers to religious questions you feel I am unqualified to answer? Why are you not following CDZ rules?

How can you be integrated when you don't even learn the language?
..."The government says 22% of Muslim women living in England speak little or no English - a factor it argues is contributing to their isolation..."
Muslim women's segregation in UK communities must end - Cameron - BBC News
A record 33.2 million Hispanics in the U.S. speak English proficiently, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.1 In 2013, this group made up 68% of all Hispanics ages 5 and older, up from 59% in 2000.
Actually, I did. With Matthew 5:17.
Unless the bible's word isn't good enough for you.
You did not answer at all. You cited that Christ came to fulfill the Law and prophets. The Law is the Ten Commandments, which Christ did not break and the Prophets, which foretold his coming. So, you have no idea of why both Testaments are in the Bible. Fortunately, I did answer that question earlier in the thread.
And, this is relevant because?

Because we are discussing Muslims, try to keep up. You on the other hand brought in Cubans without making a plausible connection to the topic.
So then you are saying since the vast majority will assimilate, we should ignore the acts of those who don't and the reasons why they commit violence.Are you claiming ALL Muslims will integrate successfully. If so, tell me about these two.
I've never made the claim that ALL muslims will integrate successfully. In fact, I gave the example of the Cuban Boat Crisis, which caused a major violent crime wave in South Florida, but within a decade, the vast majority of Cubans had assimilated into the American way of life.
Yep, thats precisely what we are supposed to do. If not, we are, of course, bigots and islamofauxbs, lol. Anyway, It seems the majority of UK Muslims arent integrated to the point that they would even just report those they know are involved with terrorist sympathisers.
Astonishing" two in three British Muslims would NOT give police terror tip-offs
TWO thirds of British Muslims would not inform the police if they thought that somebody close to them had become involved with terrorist sympathisers, according to a poll.

Seriously, if you want a Bible class start a thread. We are discussing Muslims here, so try to stay on topic. This is the fourth time you have violated the rule.

I have made several comparisons in this thread between this refugee crisis and the Cuban Refugee Crisis/American immigration patterns, with the statement that these kinds of population changes have predictable outcomes, and we can learn from them.
Sorry you apparently missed those posts.

90% of black people in my community won't give the police information to solve violent crimes. That doesn't have anything to do with assimilation, but it has everything to do with distrust of law enforcement and the system.
I can't imagine why muslims in the UK would mistrust the government.
Oh, wait...Muslim community fears it is being vilified
Many Muslims in Britain believe police are using the post-September 11 terrorist threat as an excuse to vilify their community. The Guardian spoke to three people who are convinced they suffered at the hands of police officers during the past year simply because of their religion and ethnic background:
Camran Sayf was watching Tim Henman at Wimbledon last June when police pulled him from his grandstand seat on suspicion of being a terrorist.
The 27-year-old company director, from central London, had been looking forward to seeing Henman play for months. Instead, he faced the verbal volleys of six anti-terrorist officers for the duration of the match.
"They claimed someone in the crowd had complained because I was acting suspiciously," Mr Sayf said. "I have a back problem and had brought a small cushion. I find sitting for long periods uncomfortable, so I may have been fidgeting but this sort of reaction was completely over the top.
"I had a small plastic bag with me but there were other people in the crowd with large cameras and bags, any one of which could have concealed a bomb or gun better than my bag, yet I was the only one they decided to question.
"The officers were all about 6ft tall and armed. They were very heavy-handed and it was extremely intimidating. They showed disrespect for my back problem, my race and my religion.
"But when I said they had no right to treat me like that, they said they could do what they wanted because of the terrorist threat.
It's a vicious cycle. When you vilify innocent people because of their religion, they stop trusting you and calling the police when crimes happen.
Trust of law enforcement is built on respect and fair treatment.
That is what I term a Muslim apologist.
