Officials in Xinjiang will deny benefits to children with certain Islamic or Islam-related names:
Many couples fret over choosing the perfect name for their newborn, but for Muslims in western China that decision has now become even more fraught: pick the wrong name and your child will be denied education and government benefits.
Officials in the western region of Xinjiang, home to roughly half of China's 23 million Muslims, have released a list of banned baby names amid an ongoing crackdown on religion, according to a report by US-funded Radio Free Asia.
Names such as Islam, Quran, Saddam and Mecca, as well as references to the star and crescent moon symbol, are all unacceptable to the ruling Communist party and children with those names will be denied household registration, a crucial document that grants access to social services, healthcare and education.
Muhammad, Jihad, Medina, Mujahid, Arafat, Imam, Hajj, and Yultuzay are also banned.

This changed perspective . . .
No, the melting pot isn't bad. But, immigration implies a relation, or relationship. Kinda like getting married, where a new relationship is created and built. If he can't stand her family, the relationship is going to see rocky time. Vice versa, of course. A marriage requires a lot of things, starting with similar values, and complementary expectations. I know that in some parts of the world, neither the bride nor the groom has any voice in getting married, but here in America, they both have an equal voice.
With the illegal aliens, one of us has no voice. I/we have our house, and we are comfortable in our house. Some stranger who we don't even know decides to move in, and we have no say in it. That's the whole point of the "illegal" in "illegal aliens". I/we don't want to marry every Carlos, Juan, and Jiminez to wander into the open front door. At the VERY least, knock on the door, and ask permission to come into the house.
Courtesy, respect, morals - if you have none of those, well, hell no we don't need or want a relationship with you!
Pretty much every man and woman in America would defend themselves from the burglar breaking in the front door, but many can't understand that the burglar IS a burglar.
Remember that they aren't "immigrants" - they are ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS. Those who take the time and effort to jump through all the hoops required by law are STILL WELCOME HERE!!
Remember that Illegal is not a race. It isn't racist to expect people to knock at the door, and ask permission to come into the house. It isn't racist to defend your home from the illegal alien invaders.
As for those you mention from the mid-East - to true. Specifically, Muslims demanding that we adust to their culture. Hell no, we won't adjust. Western/Euro history has a tradition of fighting back, and resisting an aristocracy which assumed all the "rights" and "privileges" which Islam demands for itself. Honor killings for infidelity and/or adultery? You bet! Maybe not so much for insulting God, but when arranged marriages were the thing, there were probably enough "honor killings" to keep the women in line.
And, that's what makes the liberal/progressive alliance with Islam so very crazy. Islam wants to turn our clocks back by several hundreds of years, if not a thousand year or more!
