For the "It Can't Happen Here Crowd"

Britain and France is already in the midst of struggling with the inability to assimilate their muslim immigrants. Could it happen here? Of Course Not.

Now, as the Captain points out, the judge here makes the right decision, but wait for the lawsuits to start getting filed.There are certain accomodations that can and should be made. If a muslim would rather swear on the koran than the bible, that's certainly acceptable, since the point of the tradition is to insure veracity not to make a religious sentiment. I'd rather everyone swear on the constitution, but most people don't hold it in as high a regard as I do, so it wouldn't necessarily serve the purpose.

On a good assimilation note, the mexican family that lives next door to me has Halloween decorations up. That makes me feel good. I hope their kids have a good time and come by for a candy bar or two.
