OK, I just read a new headline about a high possibility of a new large coordinated terrorist attack over several European countries and possibly the US. And yet we, and by we I mean nearly all of the civilized world, continue to worry about making the islamic radicals mad at us. We won't tell them "Hell No you can't build a mosque in the shadow of ground zero!" We won't tell them emphatically that we will not tolerate sharia law in our countries. We won't tell them they have to remove their veils for drivers license photos. All because we don't want to make them mad or they might riot, or they might want to commit a terrorist act against us.
As Steve Martin used to say.....Wellllll Exxxccccuuussseee Meee!!!
They seem to be doing that quite well without our doing anything, so why do we care. I say if they want to be in our countries then they can darn well fit into our societies. If I go to Saudi Arabia, I'm expected to live by their rules or I can expect to get my head chopped off. Why don't we expect the same from them?
Every other immigrant group (not invaders) have come to this country and worked hard to assimilate into our culture. Those who come to this country with the express purpose of changing us need to have another think. We welcome all races, creeds, colors and religions. All we ask is that you adhere to our way of life. It is very easy to leave this country if you don't want to follow this simple precept. No one forced them to come here as happened to the blacks during slavery times. Assimilate or leave.
I think it's time this country stopped bending over backwards for groups who want to do us harm. It has been proven throughout history that appeasement leads to nothing but greater demands by those you try to appease.
It's about time this country put it's big boy pants back on and started acting like the great nation we are, or at least were.
