>> Muslims and Islam have long been central contributors to American governance and culture.
Yes, they were central to the formation of the US Navy and Marines to deal with the problem of the Islamic Barbary Pirates preying on American shipping and taking American merchant sailors as slaves.
It was not a positive contribution. The results (Navy and Marines) were, but the acts precipitating their formation were not.
“...They do not have adequate political control in the U.S. to simply impose a new Islamic culture on our society...”
Thank God they don’t! And we had better keep it that way.
Dhimmitude is a much greater danger from Democrat elites than anybody else!
The first mosque in the United States was not built until 1922.
This country already lives as dhimmis to the progressives, DemocRats, and socialists. If Islamists get enough state power to wield the same weapons as the left, most of the US will accept dhimmitude as the price of a little security. And lick the boots of their oppressors in gratitude.
Prove me wrong.
Lebanon controlled by Christians = Paris of the east
Lebanon controlled by muslims = sh!thole
Muslimes are a blight on any culture they infect. They have never been a power in this country and have had exactly zero influence in its formation or development. Why we feel the need to tolerate this barbaric horde of subhuman savages is beyond me, but if every one of them was shipped to another planet tomorrow and their hate factories reduced to rubble, the world would be a better place.
