What kind of moslem is this?

It's no joke. Our church has been supporting one of these families since May 2005. I've spoken with the father of the refugee family; he's real, and so is his family. Very difficult resettlement.
Is there more than one kind? Actually they're Russians; probably a more peaceable kind of Muslim, you know, like Chechans.
You would think that the oil-rich Arab nations would take them to prevent them from being subjected to humiliation at the hands of Americans.
"Obviously it worked."

And please do not compare this to European immigration during the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Those people, including three of my own grandparents, came here to take their chances in a Federation of Republics governed by rugged individualists, premised upon self-reliance, not subsidization by the Federal Government. That started later, and has had a very deleterious effect on the quality of immigration. This sort of thing does not scan, and cannot be justified to anyone who understands the concept of a Nation.
These people may be admirable people. That does not mean that they will fit into the traditional American ethos. Indeed, the promised subsidization and spoon feeding, should go a long way to make sure that they do not. I will not take up more bandwith, here. Anyone interested in my views of proper immigration policy is referred to Immigration & The American Future.

We're gonna a need a new country to call our own. Bush and his muslim pals are taking over this one...and there's nothing we can do about it.

...Osama say stupid infidels will finance their own destruction.
Appears so, to them anyway. Two kinds are trying to start up a civil war in Iraq now.
I'll definitely check out your reference.
The biggest difference in today's Islamic immigrants and those of the past, in my view, was that those of the past wanted to become Americans and take advantage of the opportunities here.
Islamic immigrants today want to take advantage of the opportunity to use America. They don't want to assimilate in any way, indeed most of them don't even want to associate with other Americans except when they're making money.
We have a lot of local Muslim docs. They don't become citizens, don't get involved in any local activity other than the local mosque, and don't pay taxes. Then they bring their parents over, who then get on Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs.
