We have learned the (very) hard way in Britain and Europe that religion and government do not mix, that is why we have secular (division of church and state) government and that accounts for the prosperity and freedoms we enjoy (and very much I'm afraid take for granted) - but certain religions are not happy with this idea and still think their religious laws override the laws of the land that has welcomed them and given them a much better way of life - that is what bugs me, the huge ingratitude, and almost complete lack of respect for you host country and making very little effort to integrate. I grew up in Wolverhampton, and when I go back there now I feel very much as if I am in a foreign and very alien country.

IMHO every religion on the planet is designed by men to have power over women, and that sticks in my craw big-time.
