About this Quote

This quote by Roy Hattersley is an objection of the suggestion that Muslims need to have to transform their habits in order to be approved in Britain. He says that this is inappropriate with the concepts of a free culture, which need to be based on approval and also resistance of various cultures as well as beliefs. He thinks that Muslims ought to rate in Britain regardless of their ideas or behavior, and that any kind of attempt to impose constraints on them is wrong. He also suggests that this sort of reasoning is a type of discrimination, and that it breaks the worths of a complimentary culture. By making this statement, Hattersley is supporting for a more inclusive as well as forgiving society, where everybody is accepted regardless of their background or ideas.
