What occurs to me, is that it is Western culture that is supposed to accomodate the Moslems. The Moslems are not expected to accomodate anyone else.
It's the old Palestinian canard all over again. "What are you willing to give up for peace?" Note, it's never asked, what should we give up to get peace, or here we're willing to give this up for peace. No, the Arab NEVER gives up something. NEVER.
In 1948, the Jews and the Arabs could not live in peace. The land was in tragic disarray. The U.N. stepped in to separate the two sides, and the Palestinians have never accepted it.
The Moslems are the same way. In 2400, we'll still be facing demands by the Moslems for Christian ways to be silenced. They will NEVER give up on that issue.
Either we face it now, or we'll face it for the next two hundred years, and undoubtedly more. Let the Moslems live in their Middle-Eastern lands, and let the Christians live in their lands.
Folks, it's oil and water. It will NEVER mix.
I don't think we can afford to do that anymore, either, because they'll just get busy working on nukes and icbms and other ways to exterminate us en masse. I think this one may be the final confrontation, and it's us or them.
Amen.
