EagleWoman: The scenarion I painted does not exclude the one you paint, neither is exclusif of the other ...

Do you really believe that 60% of the fights STARTED by women follow the pattern you describe? Personaly ... I don't ...

I once lived in a truly "dodgy" area (in the UK) for a few months. I got out of there fast because the violence I used to witness around me really truly upset me. It was usually at the weekend, and EVERY time, it was a man being verbally abusive and physically assaulting his partner. I forget the number of times I dialled emergency and/or offered support to the victim till help arrived.

I also knew of ONE women who was abusive verbally and physically to her husband and they used to end up in a huge fight were both gave as much as they took.

solitare: Spain's 're-conquest' really began with Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, aka El Cid and with his taking the Moorish city of Valencia in May of 1094 with the help of Moors from inside, Valencia became the first fully integrated Christian-Muslim city in Europe ; others also followed like Granada. Most established both secular as well as 'religious' courts to hear cases like religious intolerance and defamtion' ie, cases of Muslim extremists or like the Rev. Jones burning copies of the Koran, etc. Legal experts from both the Vatican and Mecca advised both local religious courts and their councilors. The system seemed to work well and encouraged a better mutual understanding of each other without any need to break down any aspects of cultural heritage and all religions as well as ethnic and religious heritage, including the Jews were made law, unlike in a democracy that respects no one's culture or heritage, but does, nevertheless allow for the fall of the historical and dominant culture/ Race by disallowing their basic rights to opt out of anything they perceive as a threat to their existence by immigrants of a totally different culture, history and Race. People have a right not to be 'politically correct' just as much as people expect to be treated equally under secular laws. Under the old 'Zone' system, as revised under the foreign policies of National Socialist Germany, secular laws would be more or less the same across the Zones that defined the territories of different peoples, their cultures, ethnic and racial integrity. This factor was one reason tens of thousands of Muslims joined the Waffen SS fought and died beside their European comrades with the blessings of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem,Haj Amin al-Husseini, spiritual leader of the Islamic world. ; other reasons, of course, but with the sole exception of the Jewish question and Palestine, there were no real problems with Islam. The Turks were the only Muslims that dissented in favour of a more secular outlook; they still do today...dissent is generally a good thing to make others think.
The primary reason for the Zones would /was to protect all the various peoples, their heritage and their unique identity. Perhaps that also should be re-examined for all our sakes...

Conorco: Does that mean that Englishmen can't be muslims? Does every englishman have to be church of england and then catholic or muslim afterwards, how would that work?

felixis99: that is not possible as minority interests and freedom of worship are protected by law. Civil Liberties and freedom of worship belong to all in the US.

I seriously doubt Islam can gain a strong foothold here as we are at war with Islamic nations. We need no lessons from Europe - they coucld and should learn from us

Malbarido: British didn't got a visa, these ones have.

TrueBlue1986: I'm saying a culture needs the autonomy granted by independence to express such a cultural expression like the renaissance.
