I believe they are very proud of who they are and would be happy to make you a second class citizen in your own land.Wake up and smell the coffee, before it's too late.

Do you know anyone who he is free in a Muslim dominated country? Ever read history, bub? I'm Orwellian....go to a Muslim country and see what it is not to be one...now that's Orwellian.

"Do you know anyone who he is free in a Muslim dominated country?"

Close to a million in Qatar alone. It's a country that's 95% Muslim, yet the people there enjoy more freedom than just about anyone else around them. Their literacy rate for women is nearly equal to that of men (about 1% difference), and is almost 90% for both. They have universal suffrage, a 2.7% unemployment rate, a constitution not governed by Shari'a, and an 8.7% GPD growth. They're some of the freest, happiest, and most pro-western people in the region. It's no surprise that when you educate your people and don't keep them stuck in poverty, they tend toward freedom. Is it any surprise that the US chose to coordinate regional military operations from there? Certainly not.
