According to Halla-aho the biggest problem in the immigration due to humanitarian causes is the large amount of immigrants in relation to the resources used to integrate
newcomers. He has stated that a minority group whose integration has failed everywhere is the Muslim
s that come from certain parts of the world. According to Halla-aho the cultures that fail to integrate are often cultures that respect force, unlike the Western civilisation. As long as the immigrants stick to the cultural characteristics of their countries of origin, their isolation within the society in the destination country is maintained. Therefore their adaptation is not possible which creates problems such as social exclusion
and ethnic ghettoisation. He has stated that positive discrimination and privileges due to culture or nationality should not be allowed. According to Halla-aho, criticising "totalitarian
fascist
ideologies like political Islam
" should not be considered racism and that facts cannot be criminalised.

claims that
Halla-aho's texts are not simply expressions of freedom of speech and bona fide criticism of multiculturalism but they incite to raping
and hatred. Halla-aho has denied this and told that he opposes violence against women. In December 2008, Finnish police began the investigation on Halla-aho for incitement against an ethnic group because of his texts (see section below).

on the Internet. In the course of the remarks, Halla-aho said the prophet Muhammad
was a paedophile, and Islam is a religion of paedophilia, because Muhammad had intercourse with his 9-year-old wife and according to Sunnah
Mohammed's life is exemplary in every way. He also asked if it could be stated that robbing passersby and living on taxpayers' expense are cultural and possibly genetic characteristics of Somalis
. This was stated in sarcastic response to a Finnish columnist that wrote that drinking excessively and fighting when drunk were cultural and possibly genetic characteristics of Finns.
On 8 September, 2009, the District Court convicted Halla-aho of disturbing religious worship, and ordered him to pay a fine of 330 euros. The charge of ethnic agitation was dismissed. In October 2010 the Court of Appeal agreed with the District Court's conviction. Both the prosecutor and Halla-aho appealed the case to the Supreme Court
