True. But people are not cold machines. Some of them will react. They will get penalized if they're caught, of course. But it could happen. 


Of course, I'm not denying any of that.

Ban the burqa in NYC, give it a few years we might have an islamic version of Sex in the City on the Network to replace Bollywood
.
Seriously putting a mosque up near Ground zero is nothing short of total stupidity and insensitivity.

Maybe you'll be able to see it if the Freedom Tower or whatever crap they're planning ever gets built, but if they can build a mosque before we can lay the foundation, they deserve it!

^There is some truth in the last statement though. After all, the terrorists WERE muslim and acted on their FAITH. They didn't just happen to be muslims who were also terrorists; the whole blowing up of the western world was a religious move, jihad, it was based on religious hatred. Building a mosque or something that resembles it so close to the actual epicenter of the killing is, at best, an unfortunate idea. I agree they should have the right to do it, but I also agree people have the right to oppose it. 

What's next, a nacional socialist center for education in Jerusalem? Tongue

Nothing like a little bit of totally UN-biased, objective journalism there. LOL

Almost 144 thousand people have already signed so maybe it can make a difference.

Signed up. What a barbaric attitude. Hope this makes a difference!

As for the thread-shame on the French. Way to show religious and cultural tolerance!!

Here's an interesting question, which country is most likely to become a democracy first?  Saudi Arabia or Iran?

I saw a documentary about Soudi-Arabia and the possebilaty for it to become a democracy, they followe a young prince (well aroun 45 so not THAT young ) travveld around with him and talked about how the strict and hiararcic soiciety it is and how SLOW the prosses to unifie the hole country to allow democracy, at least you can say it will take ca 200 years for all the provinces and their royalty to fully accept the democratic value system of the western world,  I don't know if it is on You tube though (that Docu).
