Here in Ontario (Canada), there was a request by some Muslim groups to legalize "Shariah" (sp?), which is a set of Muslim marriage/relationship laws that supposedly give the male all the power. I don't know which countries these particular Muslim groups came from, but thankfully our otherwise inept premier (after some deliberation!) refused to allow it. But is that really a problem for non-Muslims? Or were they trying to make *everyone* abide by that law? Natalie Well Natalie...on one hand perhaps we 'should' allow emigrants |
seeing (in this case) women being treated as less than equals?
even cruelly in some cases?...won't it (again in some cases) be
so prevalent that it'll seem natural for our kids?...it seems to
me that if I were to move to some country with very different
customs that I'd 'want' to 'fit in'. But, that's just not their
custom I guess.
Remember the Muslim woman in Florida (I think) who applied for a
driver's licence but wouldn't allow them to photograph her
face?...WooHoo...the fur flew there...
If we allow this deviation what happens when some people from
'very' different cultural backgrounds try to introduce some
customs that we 'cannot live with'?

countries, they bring them back here, and once some of them see how American
women live, they bag that subservient shit. Much to the guys' chagrin.

This being said, make no mistake, the moslem world has one goal, convert all
the "infidels"... Let them build their mosques and take a larger place in
our occidental society and in 50 years from now, we might find ourselves
living a different world... I hope I'm wrong though...

Along those same lines, military guys marry Asian women from oppressed countries, they bring them back here, and once some of them see how American women live, they bag that subservient shit.

by the 'rules of our road', Should neither ask for nor expect any
special treatment...matter of fact I really believe that we're
all equal and nobody should expect special treatment.
You can easily tic me off, just mention Native Rights, Reserve,
Treaty and stuff like that...

problem lies in the fact that, now, they want the cake and eat it too.
Here in Canada, we had made them dependant on the welfare system. Many of
them never knew anything else before so, then again, we reap what we sewed.

special treatment just because of their ethnic background. A lot of
minorities who squawk about allegedly being discriminated against have
only themselves to blame for demanding such special treatment--case in
point, those Muslims demanding that "Shariah" be legalized here.

"Well, since I'm a minority, I won't bother to try to take care of myself."
I refused to do that, and have never regretted it. Interestingly, my
husband had help with his early college tuitions simply for being the son of
Polish immigrants - but instead of looking for handouts, he was working
toward his future, which as some of you know, is quite successful now.
That's how it's *supposed* to be.
