Daniel,

As for Gays, it is ironic that some cultures do not have a word for a Gay man or female in their language let alone respect such a person

ps: The Muslims liberated Europe from the Dark Ages...so let us not rewrite history!

Ellen, I'm hesitant to ask; but did you ever shook hands or spent time talking with a "Muslim"?

So, what is you point PETER?

Chapter 109 of the Holy Quaran says:

1. SAY: "O you who deny the truth!
2. "I do not worship that which you worship,
3. and neither do you worship that which I worship!
4. "And I will not worship ~hat which you have [ever] worshipped,
5. and neither will you [ever] worship that which I worship.
6. Unto you, your moral law, and unto me, mine !"

This is what ALLAH told Prophet Mohammed [pbuh].
So, as you see Islam allows diffrent religions but its a shame that few people always take issues to the nth degree.

I'm a Somali immigrant like Ms Herzi Ali, she of all people should know that living in the west for say 10 or 20 yrs does not erase or change generations of Culture and Teachings.

We can change and should adopt the GOOD ways of our adopted nations but we can forget where we came from.

Peace and may the good people in all of us prevail.

ps: NickDoe has expressed some of my points I wanted to say.
