Another example of why Muslims who think like this -- should be banned from entering ANY country...

They NEVER assimilate into the country or culture they move to ---- they accept the host country's welfare, educational and employment benefits, then aggressivly "act out" and claim the host nation as their own....

They behave more as a cancer than a ethnic group....

In EVERY part of the world, were Islamic nations border non-Islamic nations -- there is violence or outright war..

Until Muslims can convince the world they have gone through their reformation ---- they should be confined to their Turd World hovels.....
They're not ready to live in civilized society...

Turn the lights on folks, and check things out...

Semper Fi

Macedonia passed a law allowing the display of the Turkish flag in areas where the Turks form the majority....

What idiot thought that that was a good idea?

If a flag is a symbol of national unity how do you keep a nation united by flying separate flags for each faction?

Well it seems the US seems to think this was a "wonderful" step taken by the Macedonian government. From the US State Department's website:

U.S. Hails Macedonian Parliament's Final Step on Ohrid Agreement
State Department calls on all parties to continue to fully implement all requirements

The United States has welcomed steps taken by the Macedonian Parliament that complete the legislative requirements of the Ohrid Framework Agreement, which ended fighting between government security forces and ethnic Albanian insurgents in 2001.

“We call on all parties in Macedonia to continue to fully implement all Framework Agreement requirements, as well as their commitment to the rule of law and to the resolution of disagreements through dialogue and negotiation,” said deputy State Department spokesman Adam Ereli July 19.

Following is his statement:

Statement By Adam Ereli, Deputy Spokesman

MACEDONIAN PARLIAMENT REACHES MILESTONE ON 2001 OHRID AGREEMENT

The United States welcomes the Macedonian Parliament's approval on July 15 of the Law on Community Symbols, the final step in completing the legislative requirements of the 2001 Ohrid Framework Agreement. Since 2001, the leaders of Macedonia have worked to create a stable, multi-ethnic country on the path to joining the Euro-Atlantic community. They adopted important constitutional amendments and changed more than seventy laws to fulfill the legislative agenda of the Framework Agreement.

Much remains to be done to implement the legislative changes. We call on all parties in Macedonia to continue to fully implement all Framework Agreement requirements, as well as their commitment to the rule of law and to the resolution of disagreements through dialogue and negotiation. Macedonia will have the continued friendship and support of the United States in these efforts.
