I'm currently reading Melanie Phillips' Londonistan, and am finding it very disturbing. I had no idea how far the UK had gone in catering to these people. Even farther than the US has gone. It's very scary, and very much worth reading.

I intend to read Melanie's book.

Understand that, in my prior comments, I am not proposing "catering to" the Muslim community. Instead, it is my belief they should be treated like everybody else -- until and unless they prove themselves unwilling to assimilate.

Indeed, I believe this "catering to" that you mention -- this political correctness and diversity-borne favoritism -- is more likely to spawn terrorists than treating people alike.

"Favoritism" and "preferences" are nothing more than a sociological terms for appeasement. And appeasement simply encourages more hostile behavior.

I agree completely. She makes a point of saying that we shouldn't treat them worse than everyone else, just that we shouldn't treat them BETTER than everyone else. It'll make more sense when you read the book. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
