martinguerre, that is very interesting. i think that "I think i could go on, but my point isn't with the extremes. It's with how difficult it was for states to imagine nationalism as including previously excluded groups" is a good point. Can uou elaborate on some of the issues that were raised there.
What was surprising to me in this article was that people living in England would want to implement Sharia law. i figured that people would have integrated into English society to some degree and not wanted somehting like in their host countries. the thing about the four wives boggles my mind and im surpised that the government doesn't take a stance against that. if my relgion was to run around and kill someone as a sacrifice to the great god Pazubobalabob, i doubt i would be able to use the argument that you are not letting me practice my relgion by arresting me. obviously murder isn't the same thing, but i don't think exceptions like that should be made.
