Thread Name: BS: Muslim veil ban in Belgium
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim veil ban in Belgium
Surely,whatever laws are passed by and for the people of Belgium need not concern us ??

Cobblers.

Laws passed anywhere in the world concern all the citizens of that world. We are no longer insular in nationality. We have a global economy, global media and global concern for everyone. It's why we stump up the money when disasters occur all over the world. It's why we should all care about each other and it's why it is no longer possible to stop the ideas of one nation from impacting on everyone else. Wars are not caused by caring about what happens in other countries. They are caused by ignorance and not caring.

There are people who seem to believe that the world is not a global village and the old barriers should be put back in place. But the less said about them, the better.
