There was a really good article linked to on RealClearPolitics a few weeks ago, where the case was made by Jews that for someone to be integrated they need something to integrate to.
You do no one a service by forgetting and forgiving who you are to accomodate someone else who probably don't have a clue how he or she is expected to act and has no basis, hence no reason, for adaption. That means to not forget responsibility when sharing freedom. Requiring responsibility will raise the stakes immediately and make pretty clear where people are heading.
TS, regarding my previous question to you. I don't have an answer, and to be perfectly frank you make a lot of sense. If one is asked to judge a game and you close your eyes as a specific team's member is tripped, you're at least not on that team's side.
I have a problem in addressing the question, because even though I have met my fair share of immigrants from the middle east, Magreb and Malaysia/Singapore, read and talked to a few knowledgeable people, my experience in dealing with these Muslims is limited - I don't have a clear fix on their world view. The QPs opinions weigh heavily, you have a tendancy to be right.
With that said, I'm thinking that long term and cultural fear's effect on the person may have something to do with the answer of why the west is still allowed there - complacency - as well as need and greed, and image. But I really don't know, that's why I asked.
