[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Algeria was better off as a French colony than an independent nation, any Algerian will tell you that.  It's why they begged to get their colonial status back.

Look what that got.

Now this Tunisian decides to kill the best thing about his heritage - his relationship to Western Civilization.

It's getting difficult to trust anyone who can't agree on the profound and fundamental importance of a civilization which has been through the Enlightenment, and one which has not.  The philosophical underpinnings to even belonging in the 21st century apparently are missing.[/quote]

Liberals base much of their political identity on protecting and promoting the rights of women.  It is a complete mystery to me why they are not concerned about the fact that we are importing a culture that has disregard for the rights of women as a central tenet (and I say "culture," as we can have a discussion about whether that is based on Islam or tribal law -- but the fact remains).  When I see women wearing headscarves and walking behind their husbands, it makes me sad.  Many of these people have no intention of assimilating and adopting the western values of equality and freedom of speech and religion that we hold dear.  I would have no problem with Muslims wearing scarves if men wore them, too.  The whole practice is based upon the premise that a woman's sexuality must be hidden, and men can't be expected to control themselves.  Do we really want to send the message to our daughters that repressing is ok if it's your "culture." [/quote]

Just because something is a "culture" doesn't make it ok. [/quote]
