For those of philosophical bent, there's an interesting parallel take on the problem here:

The thrust of the piece is more about the European theater (war sense). The invasion that's currently going on, and the women's response which is referenced on the page.
And then an analysis of what it means, and how it's something to act on or not - and the repercussions of both.

Grander scale than our discussions, it's a Macro view. Makes for an interesting read...

And in some ways, makes a very strong point for a more stringent set of gender roles, which I know makes some of us somewhat uncomfortable.

But useful to flesh out the discussion.

In terms of this I live in the UK, and dont really think things are as bad as they are protraying. However anti muslim sentiment is slowly on the rise here and the muslim communities in some places are becoming very insular, which I dont see as being a good thing.

Maintaining a fair, compassionate society isnt feminine at all, its just human, its also about providing people with security in all forms and ensuring that all feel included - thats the way to a better society not more wars and aggression.

However, with recent tragic events in Europe I think they will almost look to fence in Europe and I dont think that willl be a good thing at all because they will eventually start to look at removing non conformants outside the border.
