Richard - I take your point - but you seem to be saying that these Muslims are OK because they behave like conventional surbarbanites. The point surely is that we should be tolerant to everyone who carries on in a traditional way including wearing the veil, going to the mosque etc - so long as they are law abiding citizens?

US colleges turn over student records to FBI 28 September SACRAMENTO -- Investigators are reviewing the records of students at colleges and universities across the United States as they probe the Sept 11 terrorist attacks, said education officials. Several of California's state college campuses have received requests to turn over certain records, officials said. Most were for specific students. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) asked for a list of all foreign students attending Fresno State University, said Ms Colleen Bentley-Adler, spokesman for the 23-campus California State University system. 'We're cooperating with the FBI and turning over the records', she said on Thursday. At least four Utah colleges have turned over records of some aviation and foreign students. College administrators there said the FBI requested data on specific students, including names, addresses, birth dates and confirmation of attendance. Schools are generally barred from releasing students' records without their written permission. But many in this instance are turning over the information without protest, based on a US Department of Education interpretation of the 1974 privacy law. Department spokesman Lindsey Kozberg said the agency is advising schools they can release the information under a "health or safety emergency" exemption. The exception is believed to have been used only once before, after the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal bombing. She and education officials declined to provide details or names of students whose records are being studied. A spokesman at FBI headquarters in Washington refused to comment. At least four California students are being held as material witnesses because they are believed to have ties to three hijackers who lived in San Diego prior to helping fly a commercial jetliner into the Pentagon. -- AP

I know of a happily married couple (a Sikh man and a Moslem woman) living next door to me. Not allowed to marry by their respective staunchly Sikh and Moslem families, they eloped to Canada. They are now retired. The man was an engineer and his wife a teacher. They have four grown up children and they allowed them to adopt whatever religion suits them. None of the children embraced Sikhism or Islam. The whole family coexist peacefully. Islam is "the religion of the sword" but I think that is for the "purists" or extremists.
