Thread Name: BS: Islamic Protest in Wootton Bassett
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic Protest in Wootton Bassett
When people flee for their lives to other countries because war has overtaken their own countries, the last thing anyone should expect them to do is to give up entirely the traditions they had in their home countries. Of course they shouldn't be allowed to continue any traditions that are against the law in their adopted country, but whatever traditions they can keep are a blessing for people who have lost everything. It's cruel to expect them to give up their culture in order to fit in. As I said before, if your government is going to go into other countries and make it difficult for people to continue living in those places, the people of your country really don't have a right to criticize those who find refuge from your government in your own country.
