Islam - No Special Privileges

Daniel Pipes says "Offer full rights – but turn down demands for special privileges." I agree.

He goes on to give a few examples of special privileges that should be denied.

Setting up a government advisory board uniquely for Muslims in America.

Permitting Muslim-only living quarters or events in America and Great Britain.

Setting aside bathing at a municipal swimming pool for women-only, as in France.

Banning Hindus and Jews from a jury hearing a case about an Islamist in Great Britain.

Changing noise laws to broadcast the adhan, or call to prayer, in Hamtramck, Mich.

Allowing a prisoner the unheard-of right to avoid strip-searches in New York State.
