Wow, These guys really know their stuff when it comes to impact of Religion and Ethnic customs on social conformity. I wounder if they thought about the enviroments in which these people were raised. A tribal system, were they allowed their tribal elder to make decisions for them. I wonder if they thought about how different our Western culture must seam to them and how for the sense of security they remain in close nit communities. If you actually look at how tribal societies adapt to the Western life styles, it's not really a wake-up in the morning and bang I am wearing a suit and tie. Often it is not until the last generation that was raised in the orginal tribal system has passed that the later generations will fully intergrate into the local community. Not always but often...
Don't forget the Religion part!!!! It's huge...
"Liberty is the air America breathes . . . In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential freedoms . . . freedom of speech and expression . . . freedom of worship . . . freedom from want . . . freedom from fear ."
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
As for saying these people will destroy the American way of life... What is the American way of life? Is it Bling, bling and pimp'n, is it 4X4's and Budweiser, is Hockey and snow machines??? The day there is no room in the US for some one who willing wishes to wear a Burka, Shamag or having there britches sagging to their knees then that little Declation signed back in 1776 will have no meaning.
For Flash: So should I trade my yamulka for a baseball hat? Or is it only Islamic and Hindy cultures that pisses you off. Oh wait, but if you get rid of them then who's next... mmm....
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
-Emma Lazarus
Are you leaving out the details that what is to be considered their "tribal leader" declares Americans the enemy of their god?
They believe we all deserve to die for our culture. Men, women, and even small children. Everything that is ours is to be destroyed.
Now, I sit here and wonder, how can you possibly have sympathy for these barbaric creatures that hardly deserve the glorified word of people?
(Please note that I am not stereotyping anyone, those who are innocent and believe the oposite of what I just said, I believe are perfectly fine people)
Genocide doesn't work, we learned that in World War II did we not?
I hate the fact that yet, we step up to the plate because no one else, other than those who followed and stayed, have the balls to right the wrong, that we have to follow shit like the Geneva Convention.
They execute our soldiers, and even worse, f***ing innocent people trying to help them come out of a third world country. They don't want the help because that means they won't be in complete control. Thats the name of the game people, put your cards up or sit down.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but a wrong and a right doesn't leave everyone happy so whats the difference?
