Muslims don't keep dogs in their own homes due to a rule of their religion (NOT a belief that dogs are fundamentally evil!). Muslims do not give a crap if YOU have a dog or keep it in your own home. Muslims are not offended by pictures of dogs, nor by other people owning dogs. Just don't expect some of your Muslim friends to pet your dog ;)
The point you are completely whiffing on is that nobody has a right to not be offended. Being offended by things you don't like is just a part of life. Especially when you choose to emigrate to a country full of things you don't like, which is already home to millions of people doing things that offend your religion/person/way of life. See...when you move to Britain and it's full of dogs, you don't get to complain and whine and piss and moan about the culture allowing dogs because you are offended by them. On the flipside, Britons have no obligation to accommodate or observe the religious beliefs or practices of any religious group, Muslims included. Which is why the British courts have forced Muslim women to uncover their faces in a case or two that involved workplace attire.
Having a religious belief or rule that pertains to yourself as a practitioner does not give a person or group license to foist those beliefs, limitations or rules on any other person or group. Especially not against those who do not hold your own belief system. i.e., I get to disregard the religious sensibilities of anyone from any religion. I do not care if something I do offends someone for religious reasons. Not my belief = not my problem. This is where the dog picture analogies you used went all wrong. Intentionally acting against people with the intention of offending them is wrong. Unintentionally offending them is not, and you can't expect an entire culture to modify its behavior to keep a small minority of citizens from being offended by something.
A lot of the friction and frustration stems from the fact that most Muslim immigrants are coming from nations whose laws are governed (at least to some degree) by Shari'ah. The Westerners want the Muslims to conform to the way of life of the culture they have adopted, while the Muslim communities are trying to find the happy medium between integration and observing their religion as they see fit.
hmm, dunno. i think the nationalist parties are all the same. no matter in which country.Quote:

This was one small case in Scotland where some muppet decides to kick up a stink & people on here start going on about dropping stuff on Iran? What's Iran got to do with a small group of Muslims in Scotland crying about a dog on a leaflet!?!?!
True on the publicity. On yes I overdid it with the analogies but with a reason.Quote:

Marvin your from the netherlands, so you speak dutch right? (Dunno if you have like german speaking hollanders there like we do in belgium or french only bla bla bla)Quote:

Kinda like: why do I offend you? You tell me!Quote:

Though what I also heard, is that their not in it for the joy, how could they if she so ugly they have to put a bag over her head to not get to scared of getting desease through her.
So.. enough insults without foundation going around already you think?

Why not? Isn't the present judicial system not based on on the Christian religion, though offcourse it got changed because the percentage of people who actually practise the religion and therefore feel compelled to live by it's rules, deminished? Why is it the Christian values should be part of a judicial system but not any other religion, especially if you consider the number of practisioners of such a religion?
I don't want Islamic law to be put into our judicial system as is, but I'm convinced some off the spirit will be reflected in it and I can look at that fact and don't feel threatend by it. Why can't you?
