"As a people, Arabs are self-indulgent, self-absorbed, and immature ... the world’s
equivalent of unruly junior high students. They just won’t quit never growing up."

You know, Osama bin Laden, to name only one person, is none of those things. He is many other things, but not the things you mention. I believe Arab countries have extremely youthful populations- in other words a vast majority of them are the age of junior high school students. The adults however, are probably very much like us.

The only case I know of where flags could not be displayed was the case of a private business and it's corporate policy. Do you feel private businesses cannot set there own policies?

As for religious music in schools, forcing children who must be in school to sing the praises of Gods they do not believe in is the same sort of intolerance the terrorists have for other religions. Tolerant people know that they should not force their beliefs on others. Our founding fathers were, for the most part, a GREAT deal more tolerant for their time than you are for yours. I salute their tolerance. It is what has made us strong.
