While Japan has long been condemned by the UN and international community for refusing to take in any Muslim refugees, it does give temporary work visas to Muslims from neighboring Islamic countries, because of its low birthrates and resultant labor shortages.
Japan Times Japan’s chronic labor crisis has been brewing since the working-age population peaked in 1995. Japan will need 6.74 million foreign workers in 2040 to meet its growth targets, according to a study by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
Yet even with the steady inflows of workers, Japan’s immigrant population is only around 2%, the lowest among the Group of Seven advanced economies. The 2% proportion reflects a reluctance to encourage foreign workers, especially Muslims, to build a life in Japan.
A 2018 survey found that only 23% of respondents felt more immigrants should be allowed in, and other polls reflect fears that rising inflows of Muslim immigrants would “lead to a spike in crime rates” and “jeopardize security and order.”

For example, Muslims living in the Kobe area of Japan wanted to erect a mosque on a prominent road – the money to pay for it likely coming from Saudi Arabia. Their building application was denied. When they asked why, the official simply replied ‘Islam is not suitable for Japan’, which seemed to me to be an eminently reasonable position.
It is not the religion. It is an entire culture, and an aggressive, entitled one. Muslims by and large do not want to “assimilate” and become indistinguishable from their German, Canadian, French or Greek hosts. They want to retain all their ways and colonize their new homeland with loudspeakers on mosques, mass prayer sessions blocking boulevards, refusal to adapt to stipulated rules in schools or the workplace: that is simply the authentic culture of Islam.

AA Anti-Muslim sentiment in Japan is on the rise after Israeli attacks on Gaza, according to a Japanese academic. Kayyim Naoki Yamamoto, a member of Marmara University Institute of Turkic Studies, told Anadolu that there has been an increase in the anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian sentiments in his country following the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks.
Pointing out that anti-Muslim sentiment in the country has been on the rise like never before, Yamamoto said: “Japanese people already follow the U.S. politically and socially.” “The U.S.’ pro-Israel stance during the Gaza attacks caused the Japanese to become anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim,” he stressed.
The academic stressed that xenophobia (hatred against foreigners), which has existed in the East Asian country for many years, turned into anti-Muslim after Israel’s attacks on Gaza. “Japan is currently experiencing a negative change,” he said. “Xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiments have increased exponentially in the last 15 years.”

I think the Japanese should bring in anyone, anyone at all, besides Islam.
if they put their minds and their backbones into resolving the problem of population deficit, they would realize there are other people who could be welcomed into the country who would benefit all. Just because hordes of moslems are pressing at every gate in the world, does not mean those gates should be opened to them. As the rest of us know, time is short for the Japanese and the window of their opportunity to reverse the error of allowing the most disrespectful, disruptive and dangerous people on earth, into their home, will close shortly.

Keep these animals out . Can’t they see what happens when you allow these subhumans in ? Look to Sweden , Germany , etc . They offer nothing to society except killing , raping , non assimilation. They are literally subhumans who believe the Koran is superior to anything else . It’s a book of evil . On a side note , I am sure cair is pissed because the idf rescued a hostage from their friends Hamas . Speaking of cair, they want Biden to condemn the Koran being trashed as you know . Who cares ? Fuck the Koran

Every mooslime invader, from every country they came from, need to be shipped back to their homes. islam is an invasive disease that needs to, at least be contained, if not eradicated all together.

So being patriotic and determined to maintain your nation’s own culture, heritage, etc., is xenophobic…got it.

Japan is correct to not allow Islam to take root. It is more than a religion, it is a totalitarian 7th Century theocracy that has no place in the modern world. It controls the adherents 24/7/365 from cradle to grave through law (Sharia) and religion (Muslim). It is against Sharia law to assimilate into any foreign country and to overthrow any existing govt through Jihad and replace it with Sharia law. Japan needs to bring back the Samurai to take these people out.

If Japan need workers they should go to Italy, the young people that come out of Universities leave Italy because there is no work. So it is the opportunity to attract these young people to come to Japan.
