The VAST percentage of Muslims want what all people want - a good life. In any culture a minute fraction are Muslim extremist or Christian extremist - and the key word is "extremist," not the name of the religion itself. While modern Western right wing Christians legislate away the rights of women and minorities, forcing women to have children instead of getting the abortion they desire, while they rant "keep out Sharia law" they add dogma to school textbooks and legislate for prayer in public meetings, in classrooms, and the hard liners blow up abortion clinics and women's health centers. North Carolina state legislator Christians this week voted to recind rights given to LGBT individuals granted by a liberal city, and prevent anyone else from (supposedly) ever trying to do it again.

I silently weep for those who can't see the richness of my life in a truly multicultural community. We may live separately in different houses, but our neighborhoods are commingled.

This thread won't last long, all of the players are in position with their fingers on the "submit message" button for messages of "enlightened segregation" or despising those who don't know any better (or more precisely, those who are unwilling to learn).

Gay/Muslim/Multiculturalism bashing full speed ahead.
