When Friedman’s book “From Beirut to Bethlehem” came out, I was visiting Muslim friends in LA. Lebanese family who arrived penniless in about 1920, opened a little corner grocery store, worked very hard, created a $100,000,000 empire of supermarkets and shopping malls. Immigrants like this are wonderful. And they came legally.
Anyway, we decided to have a Christmas buffet featuring Arabic food, because, after all, Jesus lived in the Middle East and would have had that diet, not turkey.. Beirut is about 150 miles from Bethlehem.
I was on the phone with the matriarch in Dearborn for days, buying and cooking the right stuff. It was a terrific Christmas. Everyone loved the idea and more importantly, loved the food.
My muslim friend was a doctor, his brother a movie director in partnership with a Jewish guy, their sister an attorney and a very attractive young woman. No veils in sight.
I’m not against muslim immigration as long they are legal immigrants and we know and approve of who they are.
This Omar monstrosity needs to be deported immediately..
She should have been deported years ago
“Omars” are what we get when we give an entire nation (Somalia in this case) a free-pass with refugee status. Not saying we shouldn’t do it, but we also shouldn’t be surprised when the reduced scrutiny results in people like her slipping into the country. Either Omar is a first-class con-artist or her rhetoric fairly represents the citizens in her district. I’m betting on the latter.
