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.

    So 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?

    Regards, C

PoliGazette Comments Policy

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
