Muslims should accept their host countries. Then, perhaps, they might find acceptance themselves.

I agree.  And the muslim world should accept Christians in their midst.  Oh, wait, that isn't part of the deal, is it?

Well, they're right about how wonderful muslim culture is.  It's only created some of the worst countries on earth.  Even muslims aren't dumb enough to want to stay in countries like that so they escape to the west and bring their horrific, backwards, evil culture with them.

The intensely rich and complex Islamic culture, which had fostered some of the most cosmopolitan and open societies in history, in Baghdad, Damascus, Cordoba, or Istanbul, has found itself reduced to a narrow set of vulgar stereotypes.

What's today's death count on religionofpeace.com or jihadwatch?

I have an associate who is dating a Muslim girl. She now attends Church with him every week and is converting. Since Europe is persecuting their Christians moreso than anyone these days, it's unlikely they'll be able to pull that trick off.

More hand-wringing from the Left. All we need to do is adopt Muslim culture/Islam in toto. Convert or die. Convert or we won't sell you oil. Convert or we'll blow you to kingdom come. What the heck. The ninth century wasn't all that bad.

culture has turned into the great mask behind which hides a racist agenda at home and an expansionist policy abroad.

Awwww, don't be so hard on your Muslim brothers, Abdul. What's that you say? You're talking about the WEST here???? So sorry! But you can understand my confusion ...

In the name of culture, Bush’s wars turn into a noble mission to bring democracy to the culturally hostile Middle East, while Blair’s draconian crackdown on civil liberties becomes a necessary defence of "our British values" against cultural and religious aggression.

In the name of Allah, bin Laden's murderous treachery turns into a noble mission to avenge some imagined slight done to Islam, while Zarqawi's bomb-throwing mayhem is elevated to cultural survival.

The same dichotomy has dominated Western political discourse since the Enlightenment era, fuelled by the climate of European military and economic expansion.

What do you cave-dwellers know about Enlightenment? You were too busy chasing scorpions around the desert and killing each other to share in its advances.

The dichotomy between ‘we’ and ‘they’, ‘we’ the Europeans, or Westerners, who are imbued with the light of reason and spirit of progress, and ‘they’ who still dwell in the darkness of superstition and cultural stagnation.

Yeah, scoff at that. But the fact is, after 4,000 years of "civilization," you have accomplished less to feed your people, control your environment, and advance human knowledge and compassion than the West has achieved in one tenth the time. Care to look at the rates of literacy in the West versus say, Yemen? How many Americans do you see flying airplanes into buildings in Syria because they believe they'll be rewarded in heaven with all manner of delight?

Your culture IS stagnant, and you DO dwell in darkness. Deny it, or confront it and do something to change it.

Muslims should accept that they're living in Europe. If they are masochistic enough to want to live under Muslim law, they should go back where they came from.

I guess I am just going to have to accept that I am a bigot.

"Even muslims aren't dumb enough to want to stay in countries like that so they escape to the west and bring their horrific, backwards, evil culture with them. "

Interesting. I agree 100%, but I couldn't help thinking, substitute liberal in there, and it describes the liberal flight to Washington state, and Arizona from California. The move to new places, and bring their flawed attitudes and lack of logic, and promptly begin to foul their new homes.

Human nature I guess.
