Assimilation
Reader comment on: The Netherlands to Abandon Multiculturalism
Submitted by Missy T., Feb 2, 2012 17:46
Assimilation is the only way a country can be united. Enveloping those who migrate for a better life is noble and applauded; nevertheless, a country is only strong when all people see themselves as citizens with their national allegiance to that country in which they reside more than their country of origin. I would not expect anything else were I to move to another country and seek to make it my home. We can still feel connected to our roots, but the country where one resides should be the first priority.

U.S.: Israel's Prosperity a Problem
by Shoshana Bryen
Under the circumstances, the U.S. would do better to tell the Palestinians there is no deal to be had unless they -- both the Fatah and Hamas -- demonstrably accommodate the reality that Israel is a legitimate, permanent part of the region. Otherwise, it is for Israel to determine how best to defend itself from those "challenges over the horizon."
The New, Improved Axis of Jihad
by Clare M. Lopez
Two years into the seismic shift that brought the forces of Islamic jihad and Sharia law to power in country after country in the Middle East and North Africa -- with the astonishing and extensive assistance from the U.S. -- Iran, Hizballah and al-Qa'eda apparently judge that the U.S. and its Western allies still need another nudge to ensure their complete retreat from "Muslim" lands. That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.

Why Doesn't the EU Condemn Palestinian Torture?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
More than half the 306 complaints about torture last year came from Palestinians who had been detained or imprisoned by Abbas's security forces in the West Bank; 11 detainees died in Palestinian Authority and Hamas prisons according to a report by the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
Who is Really Desecrating Holy Sites?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The ultimate goal is to turn the conflict into a religious war between Jews and Muslims. If anyone is desecrating the holy site, it is those who smuggle petrol bombs and stones into the compound to use them against visitors.
