1. Fears Grow Over 'Mega Mosque'

I think that people have to accept the fact that moslems are a significant part in our modern western societies.
Today we have basically two options:

1.) We can try to integrate muslims in our societies
2.) We can isolate them

My opinion is that they will only adopt our western values if we actually integrate them and an important factor is to allow them to practice their religion openly in the middle of us.
It may take a few generations but i believe that if we can make them feel at home in their new countries they eventually will adopt a lot of the culture (incl ahteism).
If we isolate them it is propably the safest way to homegrow some terrorists.
If the sect the article is talking about wants to overthrow the state and is against the constitution they should be banned, if not then let them build their mosque.

If you took Pascal's Wager seriously, shouldn't you be a Hindu instead of a Christian ?
There is only one Christian God but i don't know how many Hindu Gods. Maybe one of them exists. And they don't even mind that you prayed to other gods aswell.

4. Morals do not conquer all in decision making

This reminds of the following situation:
Country A and B are at war.
Country A nukes Country B because the leader says that in a conventional war more people would have died than the, lets say one million killed by an atomic bomb.
Is that a moral decision ?
