Grim's Hall comments on Steyn: Doc Russia responds "Actually, in a lot of the world, I think we have more in common with Muslims than we do with anyone else. The Muslims of Xinjiang province, China, for example -- they're about as happy with Communist China as we are. I read Malaysian and Philippine newspapers regularly as part of my job (and so can you, if you want; Bernama, the state news wire, is on Google News, as is the Star of Malaysia and several others). I can't help but recognize a lot of North Georgia in the whole attitude expressed by a lot of Muslim provinces: 'We're who we are, and we don't want your meddling in the way we do things, so leave us alone if you know what's good for you.' "

Live and let live is incompatible with "Universal Human Rights", or anything universal. I mostly like live and let live, better -- the UN should be mostly concerned with monitoring, evaluating, and trying to change the bad behavior of goverments. Not people. National governments, too, should be more concerned with local governments, rather than what local people do.
