This will not be a process without great acrimony, suffering and pain. It may even take the form of a multi-generational progression, but it will occur. We need to keep ourselves informed and we need to be vigilant. I will loan you my rose colored glasses if you need them. Be of good cheer and have fun in the Villages.

You mean like Native Americans did? My experiences with Tribal Courts over the years is that these folks have their own way of deciding issues.
There are enough of the Muslim population hell bent on following the dictates of their militant leaders; and that does greatly concern me just as did the Black Panthers or the white supremist. However the Muslim movement is an entirely different thing. If you want to view the future just look across the pond.
I referenced Scientologist and Wiccans because in many peoples view they are faux religion hiding under the guise and protection of religion giving them the ability to gain protection under the US Constitution. I do not desire to engage in a debate regarding these enities but only opine. It will be left to others to draw their own conclusions.
I also wish that when people gingerly raise the issue of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church they remain open enough to include other religions, Universities, Boy/Girl Scouts of America, Day Care Centers, etc the Catholic Church does not have a corner on this market.
Finally I keep repeating that we are a nation of laws and as such are at the advantage or disadvantage of dealing with the encroachment of Muslims and their laws upon this nation based upon this nation's laws. Some may be right and it will all come down to being just too emotional about this issue. But then, I wonder if that is what the Europeans believed too? By the way a key factor in this puzzle rests with our Immigration Policy. Some nations have simply refused any additional immigrants. What will our leaders do????
