Did you read about that big Imam in England who said we didn't migrate here to ruled by democracy, we came here to turn this into an Islamic country.

"So let me get this straight: You are diligent in watching out for people like longnshort, right?"

What are all these asides about longnshort? He has come here and made some posts about atrocities being committed by terrorists. I think a lot of Americans will never forget the picture of Palestinian children dancing in the street to celebrate the death of innocent people. Perhaps he is one of these? Respecting diversity does not equate to tolerating atrocities or to looking away from genocide and human cruelty. Look at the way women were stoned to death in Afghanistan for years while the world just looked away?

Even if a country adopts political isolationism--that does not entail that individuals must adopt moral isolationism.
