So, they'll have identical outcomes? Coke commercial indeed.

How about Jain's? Would fundamentalist Jains cause all the problems that obedient muslims do? (warm up the google, eh?)

Mises, I am not, in any way a multiculturalist. Western culture is far superior to any other the world has ever know on any level that one wishes to compare.

Theocracies are all similar, however. They are all corrupt, dehumanizing and vile down to their very cores. Notice that I am using the word theocracy. You give priests/clerics/imams/mullahs/Tibetan monks or what have you absolute power over people and you have the makings of a oppressive and poverty stricken society that is founded on superstition and ignorance.

My use of the Tibetan Monks as an example in the previous paragraph will have the liberals screaming to the heavens. So be it.

Even local quasi/pseudo theocracies, as occurred in rural Canada some time back, led to the most horrible cases of child abuse in the country's history. I know that in certain immigrant areas of London, for example, these quasi-theocracies, which are based on sharia, are cesspools of abuse towards women. Forced mutilation and marriages to name only two.

In the west we recognized this early on during the Enlightenment We put the priests firmly in their place. Personally, I love it when they come begging at the door or when they pass around the plate during their church services. Help us all if they ever get the power to confiscate our wealth.

What's not to love about Yemen? Sounds like the perfect place to take a visit! --to brush up on bomb making techniques.

Christ, it didn't take the war party long. I've been watching CNN and the others and they're just all over Yemen (and Nigeria too, but we don't have the balls for that). Here we go again.

Looks like a pretty country. I had a chance to visit last time I was in UAE but passed. Too bad. It would have been nice to see it before it gets blown to bits and torn apart.

The Jain religion encourages nudism and they avoid even killing insects so I doubt that would encourage many terrorists. Still, I guess if they were in charge they could ban clothing and make it illegal to swat a fly.

Dear djsmnc:

I didn't equate western culture with white. The fact that you did is one reason why western civilization is in deep trouble. YOU, not me consider it racist and exclusive and therefore not worthy or deserving of your support.

Western countries have been more open to immigration than any other civilization in the history of man. Every colour on the globe has been welcomed into western society.

Western civilization is an idea, not a colour. Have you ever heard Chinese or Japanese musicians play European classical music? It is great. How open and wonderful. Western civilization is available to everyone on the globe. From Levis jeans to IPODS to the ideas of Adam Smith and the music of Strauss.

You are in Korea because the Koreans recognize the value of the civilization that you bring with you. They want their kids to have a knowledge of western ideas, language and values, including those having to do with education.

Your Korean girlfriend values the same things as the parents of the kids you teach. She is going out with you partially because of who you are and what values that you bring with you. Either consciously or unconciously you bring with you western values.
