If that is so, why are so many demanding that we change to their way of living? Why must we accomadate them? Why not the other way around?

Why does shar'ia law have to be instituted for them in Canada?

Why don't they assimilate to the western countries that they're so desperate to live in?

I don't know any who do, but then I don't know any extreme fundamentalists. I do know some Christians who want to force me to live the way they do. The Muslims I know just have their religious services and community rules just like any other religious community.

Why does shar'ia law have to be instituted for them in Canada?

Why does Canon have to be instituted for Catholics? Why should the Rabbi have any say in what happens in an orthodox Jewish community?

Why don't they assimilate to the western countries that they're so desperate to live in?

I've always had a problem with people who come over, just to create a small version of their country of origin. I lived overseas for 15 years and blended with the locals, while bringing my bit of Americana with me (the melting pot thing).

It would all depend on specific circumstances. If they blend, but they want their disputes arbitrated according to their morals, I have no problem. It is wrong if they want to create their own little Saudi Arabia in the middle of a Western country.
