[null and void]

I’ve known numerous Muslims who were stranded here in the US after 1979; they had no interest in ‘imposing their culture’, either. They despised what the Islamic Revolution had done to their country, appreciated the US, assimilated, became citizens, and stayed.

Yep. There were a lot of them working with me in Silicon Valley, I counted many as my friends.

Did you miss this part of my post:

Anyone who is legally in this country and wants to attain US citizenship and be a contributing part of our culture and our economy is welcome in my house.

My point was that the Mohammad in the story was apparently contributing, and could very well be a citizen after living decades there.
