Your sentiments are that Muslims are too much trouble to have around in a western democratic country. Can you extend those sentiments to Israel where muslims are much greater trouble?
Israel is a Western democracy whose size is less than 1 thousandth of the area occupies by arabs around it. Can it be said, politically correctly, that Arabs who wish to practice Islam should do that in that vast area?
Conversely, if Israel must put up with Islam, inclusive of all the goodies such as suicide bombings and racially motivated rape and racially motivated theft, than Europe and the USA should taqke up much more of the same burden. After all, Israel must put up with three million muslims, should not the US put up with one hundred million?
