Mr. Obama has come out against violence of all kinds. I do wonder if he would put beliefs against violence ahead of the violence perpetrated in the name of religion. Would he set up courts that are separate from American Courts for the Muslims in America? Voters should ask and receive an answer. If so, would we then have separate courts for all religions. mj From the article in message 204750---- "What cowardice to surrender your own culture's beliefs in protecting victims from violence simply because you want to respect the hallowed idea of multiculturalism. prefer the response of General Sir Charles Napier who had this response to complaints in India that he wasn't respecting local culture when the British outlawed the practice of suttee in which widows were forced to cast themselves on the funeral pyres of their husbands. "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours." Sadly, European politicians don't have that same confidence in their own culture today." betsyspage.blogspot.com
