Just to clear the air.
My intention of putting up new threads is to share awareness of what's happening in the world. Sometimes these events are put on the back pages of newspapers, if they're covered at all, so they're easily missed.
All events are pieces of a larger puzzle. We need to know what's happening in the world.
My personal opinion? That there is a danger that in a society's effort to appease a group that is easily "outraged", it will be perceived by that group as weakness that can be exploited. Each incident by itself is minor, but all these little cracks in the foundation can eventually split the foundation into pieces.
I believe we should be aware of what's happening, and take appropriate NON-VIOLENT action. I also believe that caving in to one group's unreasonable demands, or turning away when they commit crimes in the name of culture, is not appropriate action either.
I don't believe name-calling, mockery, expressions of hate, or stereotyping are appropriate resolutions.
Not ALL Muslims behave in an intolerant, outraged, aggressive manner. But when some do, we need to take note of that.
In general, I believe if people freely immigrate to new countries, they should also be willing to accept the language, culture, and laws of that country.
