Can anyone advise me on the extent to which Muslims will go to blend into their their local surroundings? Cultural distinctives are sometimes hard to distinguish from suspicious activities.
The activities at one home in my neighbourhood strike me as extremely peculiar. The neighbourhood is comprised entirely of single family suburban homes, yet in over a year, I have not seen a single female or child associated with this home. What I have seen is numerous twenty-something to fourty-something middle-eastern males: anywhere between two and twenty of them. (online real estate tax records show ownership to a person with a certifiably arabic surname) This home seems to be, more than anything else, a clubhouse.
The men frequenting the house are quiet and self contained. Often, several of these men can be seen chatting around the pool table in the garage. Other times, there's no indication anyone is even home, except for the dozen or more cars parked outside. On at least one occasion, during a particularly large gathering I saw what appeared, for all intents and purposes, to be a lookout stationed in the front yard.
I would have called the FBI by now to at least make them aware of the out-of-place character of these 'residents' except for one thing, and this is the rub: a three-foot, prominently lit, statue of the Virgin Mary in the garden out front!
So if any Freeper has an informed opinion, I'd like to hear it. Am I looking at middle-eastern good-ol'-boys, or Islamic camouflage.
Further, I think this calls for a new word:
Islamouflage
Remember, you heard it here first!
