Fine if you think that the way the native Americans were treated is a matter of national pride then take slavery. Or do you think that is a matter of national pride too?

Yes. Dhimmi status and Dhimmi ideology exists today and these Peaceful Muslims in Europe (when they aren't rioting over free speech and cartoons), Australia, United States, etc etc, although may not be blowing themselves up everyday or forming insurgencies, they're still trying to work the system in their favor by making separation, special accommodations and other things of Muslim interest that effect the day-to-day lives or business of others living in that Country. These Muslims are also part of the problem.
What special accommodation are muslims asking for?

What about when biological warfare was used in the form of smallpox-infected blankets? What about when US troops used to enter a village when the braves were gone and slaughter all the women and children? It may or may not have been genocide, but it was definately a crime against humanity.

Do you believe the ends justify the means in slavery?

No, there was no sucessful genocide. By your reasoning, the holocaust wasn't a genocide because there's still Jews.

What admirable things did Mohammed do besides conquering, killing, converting, or subjugating as Dhimmi's any people that stood in the way of his totalitarian, theocratic, and repressive empire?
http://www.debatepolitics.com/623442-post113.html (Yet another dispicable deed caused by Islam!)

...Yet despite Moses, Washington, Luther, and America doing the horrible things, I personally would be a little insulted and find it disrespectful for people to post over and over about mass murderer Moses, slaver Washington, jew-hater Luther and genocidal America, even if those things are true. And even if it is true that Mohemmend married a young girl, it is disrepectful to post that over and over.

Unless you are a rude and disrespectful person (aka *sshole), or you are trying to promote hate, or you are simply a bigot, what is the purpose of continuing to do it?

As you can see it is not hard to find examples.

Never hear about that. But its not surprising, it's only a bunch of radicals who have asked that.

It's not representative of the common Muslim living in Europe who simply don't care about Easter. Thus it is irrelevant.

Now if you read the article, it's not so radical. Some muslim women working for a city were told they were not allowed to wear their hijabs due to city policy trying to garuntee neutrality of services. The women simply asked that if Muslim practices are prohibited, then all religious practices be prohibited. I don't see how this is a case of radicalism, merely trying to get everyone to follow the same laws.

Re: Yet another dispicable deed caused by Islam!

Its probably true that the Native Americans had little concept of ownership, they didnt really need to given they had so much.

However, we certainly did, which actually just makes the deed worse. Like taking candy from a baby.

Common enough. I can't find any articles but there's brewhaha in Germany around Christmas time. The so called peaceful Muslims are getting upset about the Christian atmosphere in Germany around Christmas time.

Or they can live in a Muslim country and not have to worry about stuff like this. They have no place to DEMAND the things they did in the article. Not a suggestion, not a proposal, but a DEMAND. You try demanding **** like that in a Muslim country? And why stop here with Easter Eggs? Let's make new labor laws too to accommodate the working and non-working hours of Muslims that everyone else should fallow. And for crying out loud. Religious Symbols? Easter Eggs? Give me a break. It's meaningless pagan crap. Hell, it's so meaningless and commercial that there's no reason to mention that it's pagan or non-Christian.

To the best of my knowledge, no religious oppression was made. Hijab in such a fashion as this is not a commandment and it is of culture, not religion. I'm finding both sides being supported but I tend to believe the Hajib is not religious side more since I think quoting of religious text usually does not include important frame of reference and is grossly misinterpreted.
