But I blame them for sending all the religious extremists here some
several hundreds of years ago.
They didn't send them -- the Puritans went of their own free will,
having first been unhappy in england and then having been afraid that
their children were growing up far too tolerant among the dutch.
Next time I hear a US american moaning that middle eastern societies
(a) have too much religious influence in politics (b) execute
criminals barbarically and (c) have silly hangups about how much skin
a woman may modestly show, I will have to laugh*.
