I was surprised to read this in today's San Francisco Chronicle newspaper in the letters to the editor -opinion section.
My thoughts that come to mind are that lately it seems that whatever culture and social constancies that are attempted to be set in a firm manner in the United States get attacked by the likes of the Civil Liberties Union etc. such that any foreign culture and related social constancies get embraced as nonviolable and prone to legislation for preserving. Therefore, the United States becomes diluted and deterred of its own lasting particular social fabric.
No wonder one hears of such opinions as, "Americans have no culture" etc.
Ya get sued that's why

What I have experienced in Europe is that the social facade is nice but within the nuts and bolts, if you ain't one of them in their eyes, then you ain't one of them. Period. They take care of their own.

Also, the unfortunate truth is, indeed, that Mohammad's religion is at its core one of imperialist and colonialist drive. Now the newspaper clip.


"Editor- In 1974, former Algerian President Houari Boumedienne said in a U.N. speech: ""One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will no go there as friends.
"Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.""
The Europeans have not accidentally failed to assimilate its immigrants, but in fact, agreed with the Arab League to prevent the compulsion of Muslim immigrants to adapt to the customs of host countries. Indeed, Europeans agreed to adapt school curricula to the culture of the immigrant communnities.
In an interfaith meeting in Turkey, a respected Muslim cleric said: ""Thanks to your democratic laws, we will invade you. Thanks to our Islamic laws, we will conquer you.""
What Islamic armies have not been able to do with force in more than 1,000 years is now being achieved in less than a century through liberal European immigration policies and the very high birth rates of unassimilated Muslims. Eurpoeans, and Americans, must learn and correct our course."

France thinks if they let in more Islamic extremeists then maybe they will behave better. Or by desolving their government and immediately adopting an Islamic government in the mould of the Taliban.
