Or bugger off.

The complexity of this global space we now live in is that it discards our old ideas of boundaries and national identity. It rocks us back on our heels to hear a person who identifies with a different culture, his view of the new world in which his place is as secure as ours.

The conversation I was listening to was taking place in Denmark between a woman who was defending Denmark's right to expect people coming to live in Denmark obeying  Denmark's laws and social norms. It would seem a no brainier and part of the respect you offer as a emigree.
The opposition to that point of view and it centred on men marrying under age women in a forced marriage came, needless to say from a studious Muslim man who's organisation in Denmark was to educate non Muslim of the requirements of the Muslim religious culture and "it's" norms.
The argument that "I have rights" was paramount in the whole debate and lends itself to the humanitarian concept that we should all be equal in law.
Of course the law of one country is different to that of another in terms of its gestation, and how it was developed to meet local needs. Local needs and conditions modified the overall legal directive to suit the local condition but of course beneath the tweaking lies the substructure of what we might call universal law,  practised as part of the process of recognising that "all men and women are equal" and have equal rights under international law.
So the Muslim man pressed his case for recognition of his cultural values and practices whilst the Dane said that these practices whilst common in some a Muslim countries were an anathema to Denmark.
It's a problem which is going to become more and more common as we become more and more globally multicultural with the unique flow of people from one continent to another.
The essence of "rights" of course has not been clearly defined especially when interpreted from a religious base whilst it is assumed that the gold standard, "humanitarian values", encompasses everyone.
If a society is made up of a significant ethnic mixture does our legal system not need to be further tweaked to take care of the variances, or are we right to assume that old adage when you come in to a new country, you accept its rules and regulations and if you don't like it, bugger off.
