"Do a little research on the nation of Islam."
------the first real scholarly study I ever read was
THE BLACK MUSLIMS IN AMERICA by a black academic sociologist, C. Eric Lincoln. That was in the mid 60s, when I was in high school. That was a lot more self-directed exposure at the age of 16 or 17 than anyone I knew. And this was in Chicago, and my girlfriend's father had personal and business dealings with Elijah Muhammad. I have observed NOI, it's permutations, its internal politics, through Malcolm X , through Muhammad Ali, through all the sad casting about for identity that has been the plight of American blacks for about 140 years now. Observed right up to the present moment the sunglass-wearing poseurs who consider Louie Farrakhan their supreme leader, and continue to be given face-time on Cable TV like they have anything worthwhile to say about anything.Yes, and I too have noticed how "Islam" has found a fertile ground for recruitment in prisons, and that has been going on for a long time. It has worn a political/criminal cloak to one degree or another for at least a half-century, and now it is in full swing globally, extending its influence wherever it can. It is basically fulfilling the same social and political role that Communism provided decades earlier here, and across the world. I know all about it.


And yes, what about Muslims who were born here and are American citizens? What about them? What do YOU say about them? Are you suggesting I called for the deportation of every Muslim in the USA? I think it's Europe that has the more serious problem at the moment.

You need to do more research on them. Stanley Crouch has written about them extensively.
