Khatami: Islamic World Ready for Change

:thumbsup: N.Y. has the diversity and more of an open mind set like you state....now travel west! I don't know how my redneck little town of 60,000 folks, that are just getting used to blacks and Hmongs, would welcome the lady in the Burka.This dude has a good vision but on the other hand, Palestinians just elected Hamas as it's ruling political party. It's going to take a few generations of moderates to really make an impact. Have a good one!

For now, I'd side to a certain extent with the "rednecks" in a lot of instances. As long as the radical Palestinians and associated terrorists, as you point out, are considered sacrosanct by the immigrants, and terrorism is not condemned by more of them, it's very difficult to justify their being here. Europe is now beginning to get a very strong sense of this - and the population of Denmark, especially, are losing their naiveté. The Danish Queen, who is only a figurehead, has made statements verifying her agreement with this as well.

Iâ??d hate to see Christiana (outside Copenhagen) destroyed, but there were too many people that were physically and mentally diseased running around in the little anarchistic community: The more conservative government was, last year, moving in on reclaiming the land and evicting the dealers and other people living there. I was there about 8 or 9 years ago. Was able to score some nice stuff, at Christiana - and brought some back to the hotel room in Copenhagen.

I asked one Dane, in Copenhagen, for help in using the pay phone - and he took out change to pay for the call (which I refused, lol)! Even train conductors were extremely cordial - more than anywhere else Iâ??ve been to. The people of Ireland ran a close second for being tourist-friendly

If the Danes have â??had itâ?� with a certain group, and vice-versa, then there is something seriously wrong with this picture.


Have a good weekend!

Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on 02-11-2006. Khatami: Islamic World Ready for Change Here's a story that is considerably more optimistic than much of the news has been lately. I hope that things go the way of progress - but "progress" is often a dreaded concept when belief systems are involved, to various degrees, with the thinking process. Moslems could actually be a "hit" in America, due to the unusualness (to the West) and uniqueness of their customs - if a very active lunatic fringe, and the inertia of the majority, didn't present so many threats. You know, I really Rating: 5
