First of all, nobody is "forcing" these women to wear their burqas, at least in these western countries. Most Muslim women do it out of respect for
their religion, the same as Mormon people wearing that crazy underwear or Jews wearing that funny little skull cap, the kippah.
Furthermore, Muslims bring their culture with them, just as the Chinese did when they came in waves. Just as the Irish did when they came in waves and
also just like the Germans, Italians, Russians, etc... Nobody is forcing Muslim culture on you and you don't have to partake in it. The only people
who are offended by Islamic presence, are the ignorant, FOX News watching sheeple that believe their is a bomb vest underneath the shirts of all
bearded Asians.
If a Muslim comes to this country legally, then they have the right to bring any culture they want, with them. They are not forcing you to accept
their culture and you can dislike it all you want, however you can't impede on their liberties such as forcing them to give up their religion or
culture. It is not up to you, what people can or can't do, what they can or can't believe in or anything else that you want to be bigoted about. The
Muslims aren't asking that you be made to wear a burqa, they aren't asking for Arabic or Farsi to be taught in schools and they are not asking for
you to adopt or even accept any of their cultures or beliefs. They simply want to be left alone so that they may live how they want, which doesn't
affect anyone else. In fact, even in many/most Islamic countries, they don't force non-Muslims to abide by their strict religious rules, at least
most of the rules.
Hitler tried the same thing back in the 1930s and well, it didn't work out too well. So, you don't like Muslims, they shouldn't be allowed into the
west and the ones already here should be deported? I think you should be deported. All you do is waste good old sweet American oxygen, while
embarrassing the rest of us with your clear ignorance. You or your beliefs are not the ideal American beliefs or way of life. I think you are a little
too late and a continent over to where you should have been, 1930s Germany.
Also, as far as their women, it is not that their women are not respected, it just appears that way to you because you are ignorant of their culture.
Women are highly respected by most and yes you can point out an instance where a women gets beat up or killed but I can guarantee that this happens
far more often in America alone by so-called Christians.
Just because someone is different than you, doesn't mean that they don't belong here. In case you haven't noticed, America is not bonded by one
single or a few ethnicities. The thing that makes the Islamic culture so much more easy to accept than any other wave of immigration, is the fact that
they aren't even asking for to adopt their culture or even like it. They just simply want to be left alone, period. They could care less whether you
want to adopt their culture or not, they just want to be able to practice the religion of their choice, in the way that they want to do it. That is
the very foundation of this country. It is attitudes against this foundation that has been widdling away the freedom and liberty in this country.
One last thing, can you define or label the American culture? Is it not a swath of cultures from many different corners of the Earth?
I don't want to be made out as pro-immigration, especially on this whole mexican illegal alien thing because I'm not. The differences between the
Mexican illegals and the Muslims, is that the Mexicans are not only illegal, but they are also trying to force their culture down our throats. Muslims
on the other hand, are generally legal and could care less whether we adopt their culture or not. They just want to be able to do it themselves.
