On the same editorial page, the always unintentionally amusing H.D.S. Greenway is up in arms that Germans should be asking questions of those seeking citizenship in his piece, Muslim undesirables need not apply. Among the shocking questions the Germans are finally getting around to asking?
Other questions include:
''What's your opinion [of the practice] that parents force their children to marry? Do you believe that such marriages are compatible with human dignity?"
''Your daughter of full age . . . would like to dress like other German girls and women as well, but your husband is opposed to this. What would you do?"
''What is your position on the statement that a wife has to obey her husband and that he is allowed to beat her if she doesn't obey him? ''
''Do you consider it admissible that a man locks up his wife or his daughter at home to keep them from 'causing dishonor'?"
''You have heard of the assaults on September 11th, 2001 in New York and on March 11th 2004 in Madrid. In your eyes, were the perpetrators terrorists or freedom fighters? Explain your statement."
Quick, someone copy these down and make sure our own INS has them. Send them to the Human Resources Departments of the universities for that matter.
For Greenway and the rest of the head in the sand Left, such common-sense questions are a shocking affront to "cultural diversity." They are so convinced that we need only be concerned with a "tiny minority of extremists" and so worried that someone may be offended by asking perfectly reasonable questions, that we dare not ask to save our lives. I kid you not.
Update: Oh, I forgot to mention this correction which appears at the bottom of Greenway's column:
I didn't read his Jan. 10 column (I don't think). I'm not sure I want to.

3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

Maybe someone should ask him why they ignored the context of Sabra and Shatilla?
"The Massacre and Destruction of Damour"
Just one in the many outrages of Arafat's PLO bestial rampage through Lebanon in the 70s
http://www.cedarland.org/damour.html
"In all, 582 people were killed in the storming of Damour. Father Labaky went back with the Red Cross to bury them. Many of the bodies had been dismembered, so they had to count the heads to number the dead. Three of the men they found had had their genitals cut off and stuffed into their mouths.
The horror did not end there, the old Christian cemetery was also destroyed, coffins were dug up, the dead robbed, vaults opened, and bodies and skeletons thrown across the grave yard. Damour was then transformed into a stronghold of Fatah and the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine). The ruined town became one of the main PLO centres for the promotion of international terrorism. The Church of St Elias was used as a repair garage for PLO vehicles and also as a range for shooting-practice with targets painted on the eastern wall of the nave. "
Maybe the Nuremberg Trials were also flawed....
