Donut: Yes basicly I agree with your post [img]smile.gif[/img] (surprise hehehe) Muslims in our country should be free as free as any citizen. But must also abide by our laws.
The old testement and the Quran are some bloody books. As to wether they should be able to forcibly disfigure females and subjugate children and women and or sexually abuse them in their own country....sticky problem. The way I see it, if we accept their actions then we are decryed as no better than barbarians by allowing such injustices to occur. On the other hand, if we step in and try to correct those injustices, then you are accused of being a global dictatorial power. From my perspective, it looks like you loose no matter which side you take...so why not go for the gusto and take action...since you are going to be condemned either way?

The last I heard Turkey had been rejected by the EU. The article was a bit hazy on the reasoning, but there was speculation that it was turned down due to its Muslim population.
Wish I could remember where I saw the article |

The 'official' reasons to delay are problem with human rights (independent courts and protection of minorities) and Turkey's pitiful economy. the unofficial ones are (as you pointed out) that it is a muslim country and doubts on the new government. -------------- Denmark still have thedeath-penalty - although only for High Treason during war. ( Last carried out after WW2.) I believe most European contries have similar punishment in such 'extreme' circumstances. [ 12-20-2002, 01:36 PM: Message edited by: Ar-Cunin ]

I don't judge civilisations with different laws - did you know that in some western countries they still have the death penalty!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Did you know, that what is even more horrifying that some countries allow Homicidal maniacs to live? And some countries even allow terrorists to live free and safe to plot the deaths of innocent children and civilians? A swift and clean execution is far far from a cruel or inhumane punishment and does benefit society as a whole. EDIT: Err which civilization is being judged? A religion does not a civilization define.[/QUOTE]Is this where you're talking about ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/events/no...ews/190578.stm |
