Subject: RE: BS: Diversity In Former HomogenousSocieties
Okay... I have a question...

Should a society (ah, country... say, oh, Canada) that is tolerent of religions and freedom of worship, and respectful of human rights, and has laws in place to protect those rights, including the safety of it's citizens, be required to change it's laws and values regarding said rights and safety to accomodate those laws and values of persons who immigrate to that society?

Let's say, oh, an immigrant's religion decree's that a teenage boy should carry a killing dagger at all times, including when he attends high school classes, that being against the laws of the society he now resides in.

Should such "diversity" be accepted and "accomodated" against the values and the laws of the society?
