Look, I'm all for multiculturalism and diversity ... I love the idea. However, shouldn't any and all immigrants respect the values and traditions of the country in which they choose to immigrate to? I believe so! I doubt for one moment that if a North American immigrated to a Muslim country, they would not be so tolerant of us wanting to change their laws to suit our values. If Muslim people in foreign lands want governments to include Islam into its governing practices, then maybe they should just go back to where they came from. I'm Canadian and I'm getting sick of my government bending over backwards to accommodate them. I wish my government would take the same view on immigration as the Netherlands and start requiring mandatory integration for immigrants. If you want in, leave your old ways behind!!!!!!

Yes, it's very strange that some of the most intolerant people in the world expect, and even demand, that we tolerate every aspect of their culture and religion.

I love the Dutch for their liberalism and nonintrusiveness in peoples lives. The whole area should probably be set aside as a wilderness area, free of all religions. As a kind of living "museum of tolerance". There, we could catch a glimpse of what the world would look like without any religion. I would say to protect the heritage of the Dutch, the light of the world, that all religion should be banned.

I don't believe in giving groups special rights; for example, if you wear a veil, you should have to remove it when entering places where it is prohibited to wear coverings such as balaclavas, crash helmets, hoodies, etc. If you can't handle that, you shouldn't frequent these places. Similarly, you can't cover your face and then claim you should be allowed to carry a bus pass, driver's license or any other sort of photo identification. I mean, what's the point? Feel free to wear whatever you want in the privacy of your own home, just don't try to get away with it in public and cry discrimination when people object. National security trumps religious expression every time. If you don't like that, move to a place where other people think like you.

I feel that if you want to move into another country, you should respect that country's values and beliefs and you should follow its laws. You cannot just come in and then say that "I want this country to be like mine"... I mean come on why did you leave it in the first place?
If you wanna have pride in your originating culture... fine by me I dont really care. But the moment you start asking for special privileges which no one else gets (special holidays, special rights and whatever other nonsense) then I suggest you pack your damn bags and ship yourself home to wherever you first came from.

Sadly, Sir, we are being foolish in allowing these Muslims into our Countries.
Look at what they did to UK!?
And, now, to USA!?
I think now, the time has come for all the World to kick these intellectually challenged, language challenged, deranged sociopaths out of our Countries and reply any of their threats to our people and lands with extreme action, Sir.
It's anyway going to come to pass, mark my words,Sir.

I guess so. I celebrated Thanksgiving today with some American Friends and I'm Guatemalan. I celebrate fourth of July, etc. Despite of this I still celebrate some of my country's holidays with my family and friends. I guess many people would accuse me for doing so.

Muslims is a dangerous religion that makes terrorists out of their followers. They are spreading all over the western country with a purpose and that purpose is to destroy our way of thinking and living and implement theirs. If we, the western country don't watch them and control them, we will be sorry,,, some day.
