Solution have your god build you a time machine and go back and remove them, otherwise STFU and learn to deal with it........ - ozegold, on 02/18/2008, -0/+2It's time that everyone realized that in the world of the 21st century and globalisation, that there are going to be culture clashes.
Having said that, Muslims need to realize that most democratic, western societies are secular, and as such, everything is questioned.
Taking advantage of the freedoms offered when they want, and then demanding that everyone else submit to their value system the rest of the time just isn't on.
Good on Wikipedia for standing their ground!
