Integration and respect for the host country providing protection looks different: In Upper Austria, a refugee refused to attend the compulsory German language course at the Wifi education centre in Steyr because the course was taught by a female teacher. This unbelievable incident was reported by the Upper Austrian ÖVP integration councillor Christian Dörfel to the ‘Kronen Zeitung’ newspaper.
‘Anyone who rejects our way of life, questions our social achievements such as equal rights for men and women or wants to place religion above state law has no place here,’ Dörfel angrily told the newspaper “Krone”.
But it gets worse: the politician also reported that in some organisations, female German teachers have been replaced by male trainers in order to comply with the not-so-rare refusal of refugees to be taught by a woman.
Dörfel would now like to put a stop to this. German courses are also about establishing respect for female authority. German courses should not only teach High German, but also dialect. The state councillor plans to bring people who are willing to integrate and migrants who have integrated well in front of the public and use their success stories to motivate other immigrants.

I experience a similar situation in NZ a few years ago. I was part of an independent group assessing job applications in a major public sector restructuring. Some how a Muslim refugee had been recruited – but then he spoke and wrote good English and DEI was just getting started. At the end of each week the workgroups of 5-8 would meet to discuss issues. After the first weekly meeting the Muslim rushed out to confront our overall manager. His beef? ‘Some of the women had spoked before the men’. How he had gotten through the refugee service orientation without encountering gender equality lectures I do not know. I think this is the problem in dealing with Muslims in the West. As they appear so Westernised in ability, we think their basic attitudes are Western too.
they do not belong there, no integration or respect for host culture? you’re gone
