"In another a Montreal gym installed frosted windows after a Hasidic synagogue complained the sight of adults exercising was offensive."

"The rules ban Sikh children from carrying ceremonial daggers to school, even though the Supreme Court has ruled they can. "

If we went to live in Saudi or Yemen, we would HAVE to follow their culture and rules. SO why not the other way around?

Because the US is a relatively tolerant country were people make compromises to accommodate others.
Saudi isn't and doesn't. Keep setting a good example and keep shipping them tanks, everyones happy.

The story is in Canada. I know you cannot help talking about America....but do try.

Would also help if you READ the story.

It's the same reason us Americans have to press 1 to listen in English. Beyond ridiculous. We're bending over backwards to accomodate other peoples beliefs, yet we're still ridiculed for it. In Houston, where I grew up, all the street signs on Bellaire Rd. are in Korean/Japanese/some Asian writing. What if twenty thousand americans moved to China and demanded English street signs and such? They'd be deported I bet.

Same goes with the rest of the world. They're taking advantage of us, plain and simple.

Don't get me wrong, I have NOTHING against immigrants, but if they move to a whole different country when it comes to religion and laws, they just have to accept the fact that they're not in their old country anymore. They have to adapt to the new land they choose to live in, and accept that it's a different culture with different views on life.

I wouldn't feel secure as a teacher nor a child if the children were carrying around daggers in school, ceremonial or not.

Frosted windows is not such a big deal - I mean, would you want to have praying jews watch you while you're exercising? I'd feel so... watched!

PS: It's Canada, Quebec, Montreal! They are for sure more tolerant than the average of the US.
PPS: I don't understand the sense of the second quote.

Intolerance much?

I'm not sure if you all are familiar with the fact that assimilation does not equate to a complete lose of your cultural background, and rightfully so. The officer made an obvious racist ethnic generalization in his song, and he will be punished. I can understand if you go to communist china you cannot start demanding that signs be placed in English for that is just not likely since you will constitute such a small fraction of the population that it will help only what....you? While on the other hand America does have great diversity as such accommodation to this diversity is just and proper anyone thinking otherwise is just not understand the fact that this country does not have an obligation to force others to speak a certain language. In terms of customs that violate local law this is obviously not going to be tolerated, but you don't go making a song about it and generalization the population, you simply punish them!

the frosted windows i can understand, not that it's offensive as they think, but i just think it would be annoying to watch people doing exercises when I'm praying (not that i pray but you know what i mean).

Was Mecca in the same direction as the people exercising? Because otherwise it shouldn't have been a problem

Why? My points are blatantly clear in the other 50+ anti muslim threads. It's just getting repetitive now.

Because the title gave little information and i had no idea what it was about and then i see you doing the exact thing you complain about every single day. If your not going to set an example and stop meddling in other countries business why should you expect anyone else to? You are making your strongest argument redundant.

Anyway don't even know why I'm arguing instead I'll decide to do what the title suggests if i don't accept and I'll leave this thread and leave you to it I'm sure you'll enjoy that little victory now that you've won. congrats you win, break out the beers etc.

I am not meddling in any countries business. I never said anything about Canada and their policies did I? Please show me where I said ANYTHING about the Canadian laws or decisions?

Why was Islam even brought up in this thread? People who attend a Hasidic synagogue are of Jewish faith.
