Conclusion

Submitted by Octavio (Italy), Mar 14, 2007 at 05:02

I wish no North-Africans had ever come to Italy, no middle-easterners had ever come to Europe, and so on and so forth. The issue is not whether they might come or not: they are already here. If they, the Muslims, are here, we must deal with the situation. There is the way it ought to be, and there is the way it is. The Islamic religion is not a problem: Europe's Christian roots are much stronger than you guys think. A secular Europe is a good thing. The only objection I have to Muslim Europe is that second-generation European Musilms are often law-breakers. If they were really religious, they wouldn't commit so many crimes. Therefore, Muslims need to study European rules and regulations. Those who don't follow European rules must be punished.
