I just moved to New Jersey from Alabama. Here’s what shocked me. (Spot the propaganda)

1. My new Boss So, there is clearly a hierarchy of hometown heroes, huh?.....

2. So long, southern drawl New Jerseyans speak so quickly, I’m being forced to recalibrate my brain. In Alabama, things are slower than molasses running uphill in winter.

3. Breakfast blunders Last week, I was having lunch with a new colleague. He asked me if I was familiar with Taylor ham. I asked, “Taylor who?” He about choked and fell off his chair! I guess I’ve got a lot of eating to do.

4. A place for all I appreciate the diversity I’ve found in New Jersey so far, which promotes acceptance and tolerance. Down in Alabama, suspicion of outsiders is common and on multiple occasions, I faced discrimination in the deep South. After all, I am a Muslim Arab, and according to a wide swath of public sentiment — driven by far too many misinformed media pundits — all Muslim Arabs are assumed to be terrorists. The assumption unfairly ignores the 1.7 billion Muslims who only desire love, peace, freedom and safety. Needless to say, I look forward to my new home in the Garden State, a much more colorful rainbow of humanity.

Taylor ham. Quick poll. How many lived in Jersey and knew what tayored ham is? I’m betting north of 80%.

When I got to “Muslim Arab”, and “tolerance”, I’d had enough

“The assumption unfairly ignores the 1.7 billion Muslims who only desire love, peace, freedom and safety.”

Some Muslims define “peace” as that condition which is attained when the last infidel is either converted or killed, such that the remaining population on Earth is 100% Muslim. Not necessarily every Muslim employs this definition, but, probably at least several million do. That’s not many out of 1.7 billion, but, it’s also not “just a few”. And it may be many more than that.

The meanings of “freedom” and “safety” may also be similarly different from what non-Muslims think of those terms.

consider the source. More people have moved out of NJ than all but two other states other state in the last year. You have no 2nd amendment rights there. Taxes are some of the highest in the nation. It's a liberal s***hole.

I wonder the the author of this load of cow squeeze isn't some leftist jerk who has never been to Alabama in his/her (and no other pronouns) life

“Tolerance” = They smile at you then say bad things about you behind your back.

That’s an incorrect assumption. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Most Muslims fall into one of two groups. The radicals want to kill you. The moderates want the radicals to kill you.

And it will continue this way until Islam is reformed from within. But I honestly don’t see that happening. There just is no pathway.

Yeah... I had a college suite-mate who was so secularized that the only thing he ever used his prayer rug for was to screw the Irish girl he met in Catholic school in the suite room on when I was sleeping in the bedroom. But the thought of pork grossed him out. When he’d catch me eating a barbecue sandwich, you’d think from the response I was eating a raw cat.

They are APOSTATES. The Quran requires true adherents to be engaged in jihad.

Of course Alabama will run the Muslims out of town. My Alabama relatives always have pork at their barbeques so they can smoke them out. If you don't eat the pork, they put you on a cattle car and send you up to Jersey.

That's just how it's done. I thought everybody knew that.

I spent a few weeks in northern nj a few decades ago and damn near starved on the slop they called food (and I could expense basically anything I wanted)

I lived in New Jersey for 30+ years. No one I knew ever called it Taylor Ham. It was always called Pork Roll.

I was wondering the same. Some of the expressions I’ve never heard. And we call men/boys of all races “boy”. Never been about race.
