Although I seldom agree with Bruce Bawer on the issue of religion, I have to say that I do most certainly agree with him when he argues that Western media have surrendered to the demands of Islamists. This issue should concern everyone (save for Islamists themselves of course): Western non-Muslims, (Western) moderate Muslims, progressives and conservatives. It’s simple: in the West, we’ve got a culture we should be proud of. When people migrate to our country, they should adapt. If they want to live under Sharia law, they should stay in the Middle East. We should repeat that mantra time and again.

April 28, 2008 @ 3:05 pm CESTSo what about the London Talmudic court, for instance? Are you willing to say that if "they" want to live under any part of Talmudic law they should stay in Israel?
How about US demands that their military and contractors be immune to local laws in many countries? Same applies?
How about the many nations where citizens have different rights under law than non-citizens?
For consistencies sake, either a nation’s laws applies across the board or it doesn’t, surely?
Can you clarify your position?
