ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Good for France!! I am a strong believer that those who wish to relocate themselves to another country should fully integrate into the society they have chosen to live in. That means adopting the local customs, accepting the food, the dress code, attitude etc etc. By all means allow them the freedom to practice their religion in private as long as it is within the legalities of the land they have settled in. What if wearing a burqa is part of their religious practice? Are the not allowed to wear them in public? Are rabbi's allowed to wear yamulke's in public? Should priests be allowed to wear their collars in public? Or, is that acceptable dress code, but burqa's aren't? And what other everyday wear completely and utterly covers the person so they cannot be identified by CCTV? It's a security risk that the french have passed a law on. It's the French laws - nothing to do with the US. And it has nothing to do with any other form of dress - just the burka that covers a person completely. Since you didn't answer the questions, I'll reask: What if wearing a burqa is part of their religious practice? Are the not allowed to wear them in public? quote:

In other words, if you want to leave Mexico to escape {insert whatever reason here}, don't pick another place in the world and expect to find (or to impose) a mini-Mexico wherever you choose to relocate to. It all boils down to that old saying, "When in Rome..." etc. The essence being, if too many people change the look and feel of what Rome is/was, it loses its charm for all those that visit or live there and the very reason why they chose that location. If we went to a lot of Islamic countries, we are expected to adhere to their ways and customs. If we don't, there are very severe punishments and even the death penalty for not doing so. We should be the same here in the west - fit in, or GTFO. There is no way that we should even attempt to change our laws or bend too far to accommodate foreigners that visit us. After all, that's why they visit or want to live here in the first place isn't it?? For what it is, not what you want to change it into. For the Islamics, if they don't like pork or pork products, fine, don't eat it. But it's quite another to start demanding that eateries change their menu to accommodate them; add to the menu by all means, but don't remove items enjoyed by the local populace. Like their 'call to prayer'; why the fuck thould my peace be shattered by their wailings over a tannoy system loud enough to wake the dead? My local church doesn't do it, so why should we allow them to do it? If their followers don't know when it's prayer time, maybe they should change religion or buy a fucking alarm clock. If you don't like the way we do stuff - fuck off somewhere else. If you don't like our laws - go somewhere that has laws you like. Don't like the way we dress - fit in or GTFO. And that also goes for us Brits who want to live or retire on the Costa Brava or Costa Del Sol (Spain) - do the Spanish thing or expect to be deported. ETA: at least make some friggin' attempt to learn the lingo!! Are you going to STFU about US policies? You're worse than illegals streaming in and then demanding we cow to their wants and desires. What happens when enough people immigrate, become legal citizens, and then vote for their customs (provided the customs are legal within local laws) to be added to those that were already there? Is that going to be prevented, too? Who said anything about it being US policy Desi??? Greta quite specifically said it was French. Are you going to STFU about US policies, or is it just refugees going to France that are the ones that aren't allowed to attempt any changes? quote:
And I am advocating that we shouldn't cow-tow to foreign influence if it fundamentally changes the country. After they become citizens and start voting, it would no longer be "foreign influence," now would it? Or are you using the word 'foreign' to mean 'different than what is current?'
