1,000 years ago, when the Muslim conquerors actually had some power, they were actually more tolerant. If you paid a “jizya” or tax they would leave believers of other faiths alone to worship.

Today, Americans and Europeans are finding out what my ancestors have known for years...a lot of these people are insane religious fundamentalist.

That’s why my parents came to America. I suppose I should be grateful in a round about way to the Islamic extremists. If it weren’t for their extremism, I wouldn’t be here in this great country today living a great life.
