>>Muslims "will always be separate"<< That's not so bad, is it? Orthodox Jews will always be separate. Amish farmers will always be separate. Diversity and multiculturalism are not bad words. We aren't the Borg - we don't need to assimilate everyone into a homogenous mass in order to be a great nation. My Cajun grandfather got in trouble in school when he spoke Cajun instead of English. The Cajun culture came close to being wiped out, but now it's cool to be Cajun. My Chippewa great-grandmother was sent to the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to learn how to be white. When the US government gave her tribe land in the 1920's, my great-grandfather would not let her put in a claim because he did not want anyone to know he was married to an Indian. But now it's cool to be Indian. One of our new cultural heros is Mike Moran, the New York firefighter from Rockaway, who, at the Madison Square Garden benefit for New York's victims of 911 told bin Laden to "kiss my royal Irish ass." Irish people don't assimilate fully, either, it seems.
