Sidebar: French President Sarkozy this week has refused to honor requests from Islamic citizens to make French public pools single sex. Is he being insensitive? Or honoring the wishes of the majority? There are going to be some interesting court cases arising as the Muslim population increases in the West.

No one in France asked to have public swimming pools single sex. The request was to have some hours set aside for women only hours at the pools. You make it sound like the Muslim community was asking to turn whole pool installations into woman only facilities.

And I hope that when that happens our response is "No".
Look we could be invaded in the future and we will have a chance to talk about how it is just war and things happen when our men get killed by the 100,000s, our women get raped by the 10,000s, our children can't eat by the 1,000,000s and they burn our bibles by the few....by accident. I hope we are more understanding than they are?
Hey... they killed two more US military today... they should be just about even by now... maybe they need to kill a few more just to make sure...
"A suicide bomber has killed at least two Afghan civilians and wounded four others after detonating explosives at the gates of the U.S. military base at Bagram, just north of Kabul. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying it was revenge for the burning of Qurans several weeks ago at the Bagram Air Base."
