why not their own police... the american indians have their own on the Indian Reservations, as it works fine for them.

Take a look:

Constitution of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma

PREAMBLE

We the people of the Cherokee Nation, in order to preserve and enrich our tribalculture, achieve and maintain a desirable measure of prosperity, insure tranquility and to secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of freedom, acknowledging, with humility and gratitude, the goodness of the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe in permitting us so to do, and imploring his aid and guidance in its accomplishment--do ordain and establish this Constitution for the government of the Cherokee Nation. The term "Nation" as used in this Constitution is the same as "Tribe."

Article 1. Federal Regulations

The Cherokee Nation is an inseparable part of the Federal Union. The Constitution of the United States is the Supreme law of the land; therefore, the Cherokee Nation shall never enact any law which is in conflict with any Federal law.

(snip)


Or, here's a sample of the Seminole Constitution :

PREAMBLE
We, the members of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, in order to promote justice, insure tranquility, encourage the general welfare, safeguard our interests and secure the blessings of freedom and liberty for ourselves and for our posterity, do hereby form and organize a Seminole Tribal Council and we do ordain and establish this Constitution and set of Bylaws as the rules for its deliberation.

ARTICLE IV--NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS
SECTION 1.

(snip) SEC. 5. The Tribal Council may by an affirmative vote of a majority remove any official or councilman from office who fails to carry out his Tribal Council responsibilities, or is found guilty of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or a felony in any county, State or Federal Court, or for gross neglect of duty or misconduct reflecting on the dignity and integrity of the Tribal Council. Each reservation, by petition signed by twenty percent (20%) of the eligible voters may request the recall of such reservation representative by the Tribal Council. The recall of at-large representatives shall be by petition signed by twenty-five (25) eligible voters from any reservation or nonresident eligible voters.

(snip)

ARTICLE V - POWERS OF TRIBAL COUNCIL In addition to all powers vested in the Seminole Tribal Council by existing law, the Tribal Council of the Seminole Tribe of Florida shall exercise the following powers, subject to any limitation imposed by the Constitution or the Statutes of the United States, and subject further to all expressed restriction upon such powers contained in this Constitution and Bylaws.

You think the Kurds can put aside their ethnicity long enough to do the same, and accept a common constitution wherein they respect others as they would want others to respect them? Not if they want a separatist state based on ethnicity.

So, what is acceptable; "soft, medium, hard core, fundamentalist, strict, et al" The rest of the world expects us to embrace all; well I think if they (muslims in America) want our respect, they best get really vocal, physical and fiscal in support of this country and for its ideals. If not, effem. With us or against us; a line in the rubble of WTC.

The American-German citizenship thing will be fixed very quickly. The US does not allow for dual citizenship, so they will hand her a letter giving her a week or two to decide which one she is. And the Germans will hint to her that if she picks the US citizenship....then they could request that she be brought back to the US for court action. She will drop the US citizenship, and admit guilt in a German court...and likely get a 7-year sentence. They will use her against the boyfriend, and everybody will be happy in the end.

'We've got plenty of crazies who escaped and received asylum in Europe where they would no longer suffer under a regime which restricts their "freedom of religion." .... '

Sounds like a good opportunity for MIT to launch a massive recruiting drive.

DISCLAIMER FOR THE CLUELESS:

What the above post alludes to is the foreign travel job opportunities which the Turkish national intelligence agency (MIT) would provide for its agents to infiltrate and destabilize the Islamic cells amongst essentially Turkish subversives living in Germany.

Thanks for the excellent review.

Some of us need to realize that Turkey like the US has the problem of extremists on the left and the right side who live only to make trouble.

Again, I say thanks to our brave Turk allies! Your role in this task of rooting out the Insane Islamakazis is critical and necessary for its success.
