Immigration only works when the immigrants adopt the rules and the language of their new country.

so did european immigration into n america in the 16th century work, wasetchu?

what caught my attention was that a Muslim woman was denied divorce by a judge in Germany because the judged noted that the her "culture" allows for a man to beat his wife, and then quoted a passage from the Koran.

 

what takes presidence here? the letter of the law, that clearly states that abusing your wife is against the law?

 

or that her friends and family tolerate it, so i guess you can do that.

 

does that mean if my society says i can rob banks then i wont got to jail for it there???

thats kinda what i was thinking, but then does that make me a racist? or a countryist?

 

I was also thinking that i don't really give a shit what religion or culture they are talking about, but when people start violating other peoples human rights in a country where that is already on the law books as against the law... something is seriously messed up.

 

yet If i do indeed voluntarily partake in alternative love practices... well thats my business.

Agreed. My mother immigrated from Europe to this country when she was 18. She learned the language, follows the laws, picked up the customs, got an education, developed a career, you know, became american. It seems like if one doesn't want to do some of these basic things, then one wouldn't want to come here in the first place. Call me a simpleton, but I wouldn't want to move to an Islamic country that said I had to wear a burqa and was not allowed out of the house. I would want to move somewhere that already exhibits the values that I would like to have in my life.

 

I don't think that makes you racist. I think people want to make it an issue of racism or intolerance b/c those are easy arguments to make and don't deal with the issue of integration/assimilation.

islam is a peaceful religion.

 

terrorism is a white man's invention.

 

 

 

my biggest point is that islam intolerance is being power-driven by 'the media'. it is mediatised, packaged, simplified to offer the reader one solution;hate-distrust.

then the chest-beating-we white folks rule-crap starts.

 

 

Your musings from the fringe can be, at least, mildly entertaining, but would you try to engage intellectually instead of throwing around the childish "race card" continually? It's a tool of "tools".

you are looking at a different race and culture and criticising it. intelligence and posturing are not same. truth and mediatised sensationalism are not same.
