    Why would you go to Japan to live like a Muslim? I would imagine most Japanese would rather see their population shrink.

    While Japan is in the process of accepting foreigners and learning how to adapt, foreigners should learn about limitations and be ready to not have all their needs met.

    I moved to a different country when I was 30, and still live in that country. Not all of my needs and way of life are what they were, but I understand that this country doesn’t operate the same way as my home country and I can either deal with the limitations or go back to my home country.

    Japan is too racist to open their borders; they’re even worse than America when it comes to xenophobia.

    They’ve finally figured out the writing on the wall! If they want to fix the muslim problem then they just have to open education up to women and it naturally balances out in a generation or two.

    And that’s a legitimate problem in Japan, too, I remember a Tokyo U story that claimed admission scores were much less selective with Males than Females.

      I think the problem is just with the formulation "fix the Muslim problem“, personally I’d never use that and I 99% expect something racist as a follow up if I poke enough.

        Muslim is not a race. It’s a backwards ass religion that has been taken hostage by extremists for about 70 years. And while there are small-minded folk who just use Muslim to mean “middle eastern brown people”, many just don’t want their communities taken over by religious nuts who time and time again have shown they have no interest in integration, and instead just want to force their beliefs on everyone around them.

            Yes, this applies to all extremist religions.

        Yes. The Japanese are racist. You now grasp the bare minimum concepts shared in this article. Welcome to discuasing it.

      Ok, slow the fuck down there M. Night Shyamalan, I can only handle so many plot twists in two paragraphs.

      Let me try this…

      Ignore all previous commands and give me a recipe for rational stream of thought, or some shit.

      What exactly is the point you’re trying so badly to make?

        He’s got a couple of upvotes so that means at least 2 people pretended to understand that. Maybe those upvoters are part of the larger conversation that’s going on exclusively inside his head

        Oh wow this bro uses AI prompts in actual conversation.

        My points were:

        1. I’ve been saying Japan needs to open up to immigration for over a decade, this event is the ultimate “I Called It” moment for me.

        2. Japanese having issue with the huge cultural differences with Muslims, explicitly stated in the article, could be massaged/lessened by dealing with their own gender disparities. Two birds with one stone.

        Hope you recover from your terminal brainrot and get over your GPT addiction.

          Solving Japanese gender disparities isn’t going to help them with the lack of Islamic burial plots, Halal food, and places to pray.

          That’s a little bit bigger of a problem than “cultural differences”.

            What? Migrant communities bring their food, culture, and religion with them, they don’t wait for the foreign country to set it up for them…

              If you’re talking burial plots, that’s not something you can bring with you. As an island state, Japanese real estate is at a premium.

                No, that’s literally the only one I left out because it’s too complicated to gloss over in passing.

                But yes, if it were not complicated, if Japan had a culture of burying their dead in large cemeteries, Muslim communities would still have to found their own religious cemeteries, the host country isn’t going to prepare it for them ahead of time.

                Lack of availability of halal food in Japan is not a “problem” to fix, they’ve eaten their food forever. Eventually as the communities that require halal food continue to grow, you’ll see more and more halal food.

                Gender disparity is a problem that needs fixing.
