re: #683 Walter L. Newton

If I can just jump in here…I think there’s another problem…Sometimes what happens is that you get a community which decides to isolate itself…Remember those religious cults in the U.S. (some off-shoot of Mormons) who practiced polygamy and some were accused of child abuse, etc? There was a report about a wealthy Pakistani in Canada who bought acres and acres of land, and built houses, mosque, etc., and would sell only to Muslims — creating, essentially, a Muslim-only community…own schools, own mosques, own newspapers, own book-stores, own dress codes, language, customs, etc; its own isolated, insular society, separate from secular, mainstream Canadian society…should this be tolerated? (frankly, I’m divided on this issue…)
