This used to be the standard doctrine concerning immigrants from Italy and Greece. You could find it in every highschool history textbook in the nation.

The earlier Northern and Western European immigrants were described as trustworthy and honest folk who intended to stay and make the United States great. The Italians and Greeks were described as interested only in making a lot of money and going back home to "live it up". Italians were targeted as being particularly obnoxious because they refused to learn English!

Were these charges true?

No, these charges are not true. But do Italians fly planes into buildings? Do Greeks preach for the destruction of the west?

There is a difference between not wanting to learn English and asking allah to destroy the homosexuals, Jews and Americans.

There also is a difference between what people believe and what is real. The fact is that the they import extremists imams and thereby stop the integration proces. Instead of fitting in, there are much more fundamentalists amongst the youths now, notebly the Moroccan youths.

The schoolbooks for islamic schoold published by the foundation al-Waqf contain references that homosexuals, Jews and westerns are lower than pigs and dogs. Also there is called for the kids to later fight people until they convert to islam.

Did these Italian and Greek schoolbooks teached that too?
