People change, countries change. People change countries. In Canada we've seen many waves of immigration from different parts of the world throughout history, and every one of them has changed things here.
Laws are made for the times, and also must change as society progresses. Why should they not have the same rights to complain and change the laws as they see fit? You have the same rights!! Are there no laws you disagree with? Do you just blindly follow them, even when you disagree with them?
Never forget what a small window of time you live in. The world and land we call "ours" is just a facade. We are here for a small time, and then we pass on. Billions of people before us called this land "theirs" and now it's "ours" for a small time. Dust to dust right? It's completely silly to think you have more say because of seniority or something. If someone is complaining and wanting to change things in a way you disagree with, then by all means - attend your city council meetings, write letters to politicians, get interviewed in the local newspaper. - no fun, right?
I don't understand the alternative.. Have city council meetings that say - NO MUSLIMS ALLOWED! ?

What has "what I do for a living" anything to do with my post?
I know that countrys go through change and cannot stay "stagnent" But saying that how would you feel if you had laws, traditions and religions, in your country being turned on there head because of one religious group. If I said I did not like a picture posted on a bill board with a horse on it because it goes against my relgion I would be told to go and take a run and jump. I dont think if I went to Russia, Spain or Iran and became a citizen then proceded to try and change thier traditions because they go against my own religion, I would get very far, infact in some countrys I would most prob be hung. I do not hate muslims but I do hate relgious fanatics that tell me what I can and cant see in my own country. If you were a muslim in a muslim prodominent country and you had some other religious citizens who were not native to the country in the first place telling you what you cant and can do ..would you like it? I think not. This is about idiotic fanatic religious groups telling our goverment how our country should be run and I dont like it one bit. And yes there are laws which I do not like but this is religiously motivated and not political.
