I didn't say that we couldn't.
What I'm saying is we didn't.
Of course, if your politics are driven by the belief that the proper state of affairs is world-wide imposition of Sharia law, mere failure to comply is sufficient "inspiration to attack". It's called "jihad"...although some beleve that's a deep perversion of the original meaning of that word.
Western civilization and culture is pretty much antithetical to Sharia law as interpreted by these people. I don't think we should give it up just because somebody finds it "offensive" or "infidel". Perhaps it doesn't mean much to you, and you'd just as soon live their way.
If so, I do hope not too many agree with you...or I'll be seeing you in the 12th century.
