Church versus State

I think that one of the problems of muslims in the West is that they do not understand the principle of Church and State being two different entities. Around this part of the world, freedom of religion applies to everybody.
Freedom of religion. You do not impose yours on me. Around here we have freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And that applies to irreverent cartoons, the likes of which appeared in the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten in September. Islam is definitely too rigid.
Nobody is prohibited from visiting Rome and the Vatican. Nobody is prohibited from visiting Canterbury Cathedral. But if you're not muslim, if you're a "non-believer", you'll never set foot in Mecca.
That shows such a tremendous openness to the world, and promotes such friendship between fellow men. Such openness. Outsiders to the muslim world will be shot, beheaded, blown to pieces, held hostages for ever. Yes, Islam is a religion of love, peace and tolerance.
