"the Germans say that the veil is a political, rather than a religious, statement and is a symbol of repression"

In fact, it is a symbol of a political movement.

"It is to the Europeans’ credit that they tried peacefully to accommodate such a large indigestible clump of alien matter for over 40 years."

No, it is not. The disaster their foolishness was creating was obvious. Such mindless stupidity is never to be commended.

Millions of Americans are guilty of the same kind of dangerous folly right now. Those who support the candidacy of John Kerry or John Edwards are guilty of this. Their foolishness is deserving of condemnation. Their mindless folly and "good intentions" are not deserving of praise.

Ignoring the obvious, creating a dangerous situation, and excusing it all by "good intentions" is to no one's credit. It paves The Road to Hell.

"Those who support the candidacy of John Kerry or John Edwards are guilty of this."
