There may be catholics as well as other religions here.
But we are officially a protestant country and as such, our judiciary is based upon protestant values generally.
If the catholics, or anyone else doesn't want to follow our laws - that's their choice.
Assuming that to be true, would it not be likely that there are mainly-Muslim societies that differ from one another greatly, too? One of the greatest differences, it seems to me, is that some are harsher on transgressions than others. IS - insofar as we can call it a culture - appear to believe that none of the others are harsh enough, for instance.
Good point Peon.
However, have you considered why there is always unrest in almost all of the Islamic countries??
That's because the Sunni and Shia hate each other to the extent that one is very likely to kill the other on sight just because of the difference in their versions of Islam.
And then there are the Aluwhites and Sufi's and various other Islamic offshoots.
Part of it is also meddling by the west. Iraq and Iran are perfect examples, and Syria is well on the way. Who the fuck was Gertrude Stein to draw lines on the map to throw these people together in what is now know as Iraq ? But what's done is done and since all these factions are forced to live together they require a tough government to keep down civil wars. Iraq should really be three countries.
One thing though, when the US goes in they are quite readily united by a common enemy that purports to be their liberator but nothing is farther from the truth. Go ahead and say the did not have elections under Saddam for example, but who put Saddam in power ? He was "Our boy in Bagdad". He was put there to antagonize Iran. It didn't work.
The US is going to have to learn that they are not the only people who prefer to govern themselves. We lost control of Iran, we lost control of Iraq, there is still a North Korea and Nam was a big mess and accomplished absolutely nothing. Syria is falling apart and Ukraine is on the brink of a real civil war. All results of the west meddling in affairs that are none of their business. (BTW I used the word "we" up there very loosely, I do not support any of this shirt and if I was draft age and invited to Nam I would be Canadian now)
