[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

My angry Muslim report at my company yelled at me, “You won’t like it when we take over. You’ll be my slave. You’ll pay me taxes.” I listened to everything he said. He was open and honest. He believed one day he and his extended family would rule America and then they’d just take our houses and property. Everyone loved him. He was almost always cheerful and smiling. I saw a different image. He was the very incarnation of “the moderate Muslim.”

Exactly. What word did you mean for "report"? Cohort?

“What word did you mean for “report”? Cohort?”

I was managing the department he was in. I had five or six really good people and him. He seemed incapable of learning anything that required more than three steps. He was a tech.

We determined the thing that limited him was he believed just about everything worked by magic. He seemed incapable of bridging the gap between his preconceived notions and life in the modern world. He had come here in his early twenties. The gulf between his preindustrial early life and the twentieth century was too large.
