ORIGINAL: slvemike4u Okay,lets get back on topic than.....what we have here is the result of extremism,of some members of a certain religion who are ,culturally speaking,stuck somewhere a few hundred years ago...culture wise and in the way they think. Now we all agree that it's time that culture step out of the fourteenth century and join the rest of us here in 2015. And we should encourage and even prod them towards doing so....but,and I merely ask,do we have our own instance of fealty to a "culture" no longer suitable for modern society ? Take a moment to think about it before attacking me for having the temerity to suggest it Oooooo...I bet I can guess..."how remarkably similar is this fealty to a culture from a time long past is our own fealty to a gun culture from a time long past?" Did I get it? I bet I did. There's just a couple of problems. Their fealty is to a religion, not a culture OTHER THAN the one grown up alongside that religion. The gun culture, as you like to describe it, is about observation of an individual's right, regulated by law, to own a gun. Finally, this thread is about an incident in Denmark revolving around one relgion's response to other people's right to assemble and engage in free discussion. Not the Second Amendment.
