Depends which country. They come to the US and we normally don't care. But, if they've got bombs we get a bit worried

I think not. That isn't to say they should give up their religion but I don't think they should be allowed to be so pro-active about it. It shouldn't compromise society, by that I mean they should get on with it in the privacy of their own surroundings but not be so outspoken. The country they are living in will have their own beliefs/religion and that should be what is allowed to be prominent. It seems other countries do not pander to every religious group they have living there. When we go to a Muslim country we have to abide by there rules, it should be the same here. It causes too much upset and unrest for the natives of the country.

I think the Pilgrim Fathers did. That was their whole point in emigrating. They wanted not a better economic life but freedom of religion. That is also officially the prime reason for people wanting to emigrate to Israel. However, when people arrive in a country where there is an established religion and they have to fit in, then they must be sensitive to the society around them and do so unobtrusively. Clearly there are things which all of us tend to put before our country: our family and our religion numbering among them. But whereas the Christian faith has always taught that it is of importance for everyone to submit himself to the governing authorities as a matter of conscience (Romans 13:1-7), the Muslim faith does not appear have such considerations and seeks to override law and order in the interests of furthering its aims.

Very good question I will see how people react. Anyway in my opinion we cannot change people with what they believe in overnight. But it is funny why when people go to Middle Eastern Countries, UEA they have to completely immulate their dressing standards etc and has to eat the food they want us to eat I like eating pork chops but it is a crime over there, I like to drink but it is a crime maybe only the leader of that country is hiding the wild turkey for their own pleasure bugger the slaves. I think it is unfair. But what can we do I guess as a human being the west are just the right place to be.

NO. The Country should come first, they can have their religion kept in private. There's no reason why people should go to another country and then force their religion down the throats of the indigenous population, and least of all should they get nasty when they can't have it all their own way. That's when all the trouble starts and people start saying 'if they don't like it...' etc.

A new country is perhaps a better environment, not a better life.
Usually, people ran away from their countries for more religious freedom, therefore, their religion always comes first. Nation is a confined entity; religion is all encompassing.

When in Rome, your religion did not give you a better life but the new country will so its not too hard I think

Ones religion can be so important that they are willing to kill, as seen in today's society. If the country allows you to so than more times than often, people will!

I believe in God, family, country in that order. The great thing about America is freedom of religion and the freedom to worship in your individual way. If it puts our country in jeopardy, that's another thing.

Of course they are entitled to follow their religion as they feel they should, but I don't think they should expect special rights and be allowed to wear clothing which intimidates others or sets them apart. I also don't believe that they should expect everyone to convert to their religion.

To a point. But we should not have to change rules and laws to abide by their religions. They are the ones who come here to get out of their situations. We did not ask them or force them to. If they don't like our laws and rules, then they should stay where their religions are accepted as the norm.
