interesting little fact, the leonid meteor shower might be able to be seen Saturday, Nov. 18, at 11:45 pm; the US’s east coast is supposed to be able to catch it, but we might be a little far south…
The Muslims in Europe are not getting along too well with the rest of the Europeans. To me, this is proof that it is going to take a long time before the world is living in one community and one culture. in Europe, there have been several problems with the Islamic community interacting with everyone else. some of this is due to lack of tolerance for that religion. for example, in 2004, France ruled that it was illegal for Muslim girls to wear their headscarves in public schools. I was actually in Egypt at the time this happened, and got to see a true point of view from a Muslim woman. This woman was a devote Muslim, she wore the entire veil, but it was not like she was uneducated or anything. She was currently enrolled in college to become a doctor. She believed it was wrong for the government to make sure a decision, it is a sign of their devotion to Islam. Another issue is just a general fear of anyone involved in that religion, as seen in the USA as well. after 9/11, and the London bombings, people began to fear that relgion in particular, stereotyping the Muslims. Until people learn complete tolerance, there really is no need to worry about the world merging into one community.
