Giovanni Sartori: "Islam is incompatible with the West"


Giovanni Sartori is one of the most critical to the integration of Muslims in Europe thinkers: "Those who do not accept our rules should be placed in the border '

"We are in the hands of ignorant politicians, who do not know history and have no culture.Only they care to keep his chair. They spend the day listening to the views of the opposite and thinking about what answer to give. So nothing is built. There are no leaders and statesmen and so it goes: the European Union is a poorly constructed building is collapsing. The situation becomes disastrous as some have believed that they could integrate Muslim immigrants, and that's impossible. "

In this long interview, Giovanni Sartori, ninety-two, one of the leading experts in political science, among the most widely read and studied in the world, with essential reference works as "political parties" or "theory of democracy" - , lucidly analyzes the most topical issues: immigration, Europe, Islam, multiculturalism, xenophobia, religious war, overpopulation, and so on.

prophetic ideas
Professor at Florence, his hometown, and Stanford, Harvard, Yale and Columbia, with nine "laureas honoris causa" and numerous awards, including the Prince of Asturias Social Sciences (2005) Prize, has written and very lively style live trials have opened great debates "What is democracy" (1997); (2001), "foreign pluralism, multiculturalism and multi-ethnic society ' "Homo videns: remote control society" (1998). He published his last book in June: "The race to nowhere. Ten lessons about our society at risk. "

For diagnosis and severely criticized his works were received at first with suspicion; but many of his ideas and forecasts have proved prophetic. So not surprised that, in an excess of tolerance meant "deny our culture," half a dozen nude statues were covered in the Capitoline Museums in Rome not to disturb the president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani. "It was a farce, reflecting a jerk world that does only what is useful and convenient at the time.One is entitled to its principles and traditions are respected. "

Disrespect
It can be considered a story, but it is a significant event, as others that have happened in the last month and reflecting that are changing things a lot in Europe, especially in relation to immigration, which goes beyond the borders of the continent and sets evidence of failure to integrate Muslim immigrants, for their lack of respect for values entrenched in European culture, such as tolerance and equality between men and women.

On New Year occurred in Cologne, and two other German cities, sexual assault of nearly a thousand young Arabs, mostly Moroccans and Algerians, women who met on their way.The night inaugurated 2016, the country has generously opened the doors to nearly one million refugees in the Middle East and other war zones, was tainted by what has been considered a serious episode of confrontation between two civilizations. It became clear that the relationship of Islam with women is a devastating issue and that there is an unbridgeable cultural chasm between rich and liberal Europe and some Arab countries. The data confirms this: according to a survey by the Pew Research Center in 2013, more than 90 percent of Moroccans and Tunisians think the wife should always obey her husband.

To better understand which represents women in the world of Allah and why you are sexually assaulted, the Algerian writer Kamel Daoud gives this explanation: "The woman is denied, evening, locked, possessed. The woman's body belongs to everyone, but not her, and is not seen as a place of freedom. "

Is it possible then that an immigrant, educated in a culture or religion different from ours, and Islam, can be integrated, denying the principles as part of their education, their sensitivity? For Professor Sartori ethical-political integration it is impossible: "Islam is incompatible with our culture. Their regimes are theocracies that are based on the will of Allah, while in the West are founded on democracy, popular sovereignty ".

Common sense
What does integrated? Angela Merkel has clearly said: "We want immigrants absorb the cultural foundations of our coexistence"; ie, the system of values, rules and behaviors that govern each other. Such a project is at odds with the idea of multiculturalism that has tried to impose in the West, along the lines of political correctness. That multiculturalism is based on that in a society different cultures can live together without problems. According to Giovanni Sartori, that's impossible, "Multiculturalism does not exist. In our society we have some general rules, principles. The immigrant can do at home what you want, but you must accept the rules of the State which accepts him. "

In this regard, note the imam of Colonia Sami Abu-Yusuf, who in an interview stated that the responsibility for New Year's Eve sexual violence should not be attributed to young people, but women who were on the street half naked and perfumed . The magnet takes decades in Germany, but has not taken a single step toward the culture that has taken him, appearing as an arrogant invader. Can you talk to a caveman seeing a demon femininity? Professor Sartori is very clear: "Those who are unwilling to accept our rules, they should be placed at the border for them to leave home."

Giovanni Sartori is considered as a progressive liberal. When I say that from the left you can criticize their ideas, or see it as xenophobic or conservative, he says firmly: "The left has lost its ideology. They use the word multiculturalism as a new ideology, because the old has died. But they have no idea. They do not know what is Islam. They are ignorant. I do not care about right or left, but common sense. "

The integration of Muslims in non-Islamic societies has not been achieved because, he says, "Islam is not capable of evolution." He cites, for example, to India, "where there are 14 million Muslims, very poor and abused; after a thousand years, they resist without integrase, eternal enemies of Hindus. " And closer, Professor Sartori remember what happens in European countries, "third-generation Muslims not only not integrated, but are the rebels. They hate the West because they are unemployed and many are attracted by the fanatical Islam. "

In danger
The current migration is occurring without an orderly flow, because, apart from having economic motives, is the result of wars. Before the suspension of the Schengen agreements in some hitherto very favorable to immigration countries, such as Denmark and Sweden, Sartori states: "One can not pursue a policy of open doors, as naively thinks any left. It's okay to talk of solidarity, because immigrants can be a positive element for our economy, but we must regulate migratory flows. Whoever enters Europe must have documents, a secure identity ".

In short, Sartori argues that "the West and its values are in danger because they are not giving an adequate response to Islamic fundamentalism." fifteen years ago, in the "Corriere della Sera" Sartori said we were attending "an unprecedented war with four characteristics: global, technological and religious terrorist." Today reaffirmed harder, seeing the Daesh terrorism: "In a war you have to use every weapon you have at your disposal. We, the West, we are assaulted with a terrorist ferocity that our historical memory does not remember. Also, when a suicide bomber, kamikaze by faith, is exploded amid civilians, the confrontation has peaked. "

"Apart from the military component, which is important, but secondary, is a war that is won or lost at home he adds. Expires if we react to the intellectual and moral losses that have fallen. And you lose if we doubt or forget our values that give substance to our political-ethical "civilization. And how will it end? His answer is not very comforting: "We'll see. This is a world that is committing suicide. "

Sartori is writing the second part of "Race to Nowhere" test for which he thought another title, "The race to ruin." "We walked out of ideas on how to progress with as many as we are, too ..." he says. Precisely, "overpopulation cancer fund our society." It is one of their major concerns, which he dedicated "The earth explodes, overpopulation and Development" (2003).

Especially critical of the EU, said: "He's a monster. The Europe of 28 is a dead body, does not exist. It is not even able to stop immigration. In my new book I bring solutions: Europe needs an experienced president in economy ".

The "tranquilismo"
"I am a realist and I have a very clear slogan he explains: pessimism is dangerous if leads or induces surrender; evil does optimism or "tranquilismo" leading to do nothing ".

No lonely Professor Sartori from the intellectual point of view. Match your hard diagnosis European French sociologist Alain Touraine, who just received the Nonino Prize in Italy as "master of our time": "The European countries are now unable to fully integrate into the world and global economy. Just got back from California and has impacted me, talking to the Americans, who for them tomorrow's world refers only to US and China. They have abandoned Europe. They do not take us seriously. To them we are just a holiday destination. "



From a sentimental point of view, Sartori always nearby, also during this conversation, his wife, Isabella Gherardi, painter and photographer, from which it is separated "only" thirty-nine springs. The recipe of coexistence? "Good mood and not worry about the passage of time." This concludes the interview the wise old teacher, who has sown political culture on the right and left, and it still has much to teach, "At least I hope to finish this book. Then enough. I am not infinite.
