They hate the West. Why are they here ?
Gee,isn't that obvious? In Europe, Muslims have been allowed to emmigrate in huge numbers to simply do the jobs Europeans won't (like collect garbage or clean sewers) and pay the taxes that support the cradle to grave welfare state.
In Britain proper, they are encouraged to emmigrate because of British guilt over the Empire, which furnishes them with all the welfare they can stand and let's then lets them be.
In America, Muslims come here because of all the intangibles that are not available in their own culture (freedom, economic opportunity, etc) and for the tangibles that Muslim society is unable to create, jobs, education,economic opportunity, open heart surgery and air conditioning.
Why do Muslims hate the West?
Because there is no possible way that God's Chosen could live in a self-imposed hellhole, so we infidels must have made a pact with the Devil in order to enjoy everything we have. Therefore, it is the duty of every Koran-carrying member of Islam to enjoy the fruits of the Infidel's labor while doing everything possible to undermine and destroy him. In this fashion, a Muslim may better his lot in life without DIRECTLY engaging in prohibited conduct and still fufill jis duty to kill the enemies of Islam.
The ones who hate the West are here to kill us. They're the "Atta's" and other evil nutcases. And we're at war with them, as we should be.
But other Muslims are here for the same reasons my ancestors came here -- for a better life for themselves and their children in a free country. And they are not our enemy.
These two groups are not the same -- and to play them that way is cruel. In World War II my father's family, who had immigrated from Germany in the late 1890s, joined the American military services and fought the Germans.
My uncle was there for D-day at Normandy. His Grandfather was a loyal American who still spoke the German from the old country. I know loyal Muslim Americans. And it's painful to see them painted with the broad brush of ignorance. So, please, let's stand united against the radical Muslim enemy, but not against our neighbors who just happen to be a different religion.
