Just thought I would weigh in with my thoughts...
Each individual country gets to set the laws of its land. Essentially one would hope that its laws support majority vote of the people. Either way those who choose to live in that country are subject to the laws of that country however they are set, and in democratic societies majority sentiment should rule. Is Canada a majority Muslim country? No... it is a country settled by the French and English and they are responsible for the established government system. Anyone entering the country is then subject to that system. My thoughts... respect the country in which you are given to live. In Saudi Arabia(and other Islamic countries) non-Muslims have no rights or say, and they know that when they go there. Just because a country is democratic does not mean minorities should be allowed to over run it. |

Maya Angelou - �Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.�

Unfortunately, quite a few people in the West have a very negative view
of Islam. We should work together to change this perception. People need
to see the friendly face of Islam. Pun intended.
