[Sundae]

I ignored buddug ages ago, so am not interested in her inaccurate ramblings.

Despite my pro-Muslim stance I support the actions of the Dutch Government. The message it sends to me is that this is a liberal country, but it is a Western country and that people who live in the Netherlands are required to conform to the current social norms.

I behave according to the legal, social and religious (where applicable) norms of the countries I go to on holiday. I would be just as scrupulous - if not more so - if I was emigrating somewhere.

If recent emigres, or daughters of Dutch Muslims choose to make an outward statement about their religion, then one of the choices they make is not to leave home. If a woman is modest enough that she is uncomfortable with any man seeing her face then she has to consider whether she is living in the right country.

I - who hate the heat - wouldn't consider moving somewhere like Miami. My caucasion British co-worker is considering emigrating to Australia because she hates the fact England is cold, grey & gloomy. I don't think so personally, but good for her.
