What's really wrong about that? Don't you understand the idea of common culture or how culture formed? If that's the case, why are you afraid of sharia law? Why are you against stoning women for adultury, or forced female mutilation where the clitoris is cut off, or throwing gay people off buildings? Why are you afraid of that? Are you not also xenophobic, or do you actually want that? Do you want to wear a burka? Do you want to walk around and not be forced to act in a way that others desire you? Well, I imagine you don't want any of that, but I'll let you respond.
What's really wrong is the attitude that we can't question or suggest improvements to our culture without a knee jerk well leave then response. Your hyperbole about burkas is emblematic. Sterban suggested looking at the better aspects (better in his view) of policing and governance elsewhere in the western world not wholesale replacement of US. culture. Burkas? A more parliamentary system would lead to burkas? I don't want a parliamentary system here. I can discuss it without suggesting the proponents move out of the country, or suggesting burkas are the natural result. If you think a more parliamentary system leads to burkas you are pretty xenophobic too.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
