And what about assimilation? It is not bigoted to ask Muslims if they are integrating into the societies they are living in. Just as the British government has responsibilities toward its citizens, immigrants included, so too do those immigrants. Muslims ask for time off work for prayer, for example, and they often get it. But are they truly living in Britain or are they perpetuating an existence that even their relatives "back home" long ago left behind? Domestic policy is too often ignored by many Muslims who are more concerned with Palestine, Iraq or any other place where Muslims are believed to have suffered injustice.

Part of the Muslim's failure to assimilate is the fact that, almost universally, they claim allegiance to Islam first over any nation, state or other entity. There are virtually no Muslim-Americans or Muslim-Britons - there are Muslims. Where they live is a matter of necessity to hear them explain it.

Frankly, I'm tired of the excuses that are used to explain why western nations are the target of these Islamic murderers. The reporter is afraid to condemn her religion as the primary source of today's mass murders, but she is beginning to get the picture. Islam, as she noted, is NOT the religion of peace as we are often told, it is the religion of "SUBMISSION".

Perhaps you should re-read that part - It is the religion of SUBMISSION

Have a good day.

From the article: I'm sure it was also those dog-eared statements that our clerics and religious leaders read out telling us that Islam means peace — it actually means submission — and asking us to please forget everything they had ever said before July 6, because as of July 7 they truly believe violence is bad. Their backpedaling is so furious you can smell the skid marks.

I think a light bulb came on.
