I agree Tall Shadow that we must be willing to defend the freedoms that the Muslims living in our countries enjoy. We must not allow their religion or any other for that matter dictate to us what we can and cannot do. What we choose to do or not to do is however another matter. I think though that one of the things that we must begin to enforce is the fact that if you choose to act outside of what society considers to be within the bounds of the law then you must be prepared to face the consequenses. Freedom to do as one chooses is not freedom from consequences. I once heard it put this way "for every right that we enjoy there is an equal responsibility that goes with it". We can't forget that there are alot of graves all over the world full of people who were willing to lay down their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. I'm fairly certain that alot of those people would take it back if they could if they were to see what our countries are doing and allowing to go on.
