I think you are totally incorrect on Muslims not wearing gold. My brother-in-law is a Muslim in name only, but he wears gold along with his uncle who is Muslim. They are both married to American wives. Their children go to public or private (not Arabic) schools.
I have earrings and rings from India, 22 carat to boot. When he visits his parents and aunts and uncles in New Delhi, he brings back presents to us. Just as he brings presents to his family in India from the U.S.
Maybe you are thinking of Hindus as opposed to Muslims.
Well duh....
Strict followers of Islam do not wear gold or silk (men), they do not drink, they do not eat pork or other animals and the animals must be slaughtered a certain way, they do not gamble, they do not collect interest or pay interest on money borrowed or loaned, they do not buy insurance, they do not masturbate, no tattoos, statutes in the house or making statutes is prohibited, pictures or drawings of animate things are prohibited, no dogs can be kept as pets, no growing of crops like hashish or tobacco, etc, etc.

Basically, the followers of Islam give up their brains to the so-called "religion".
Osama Hussein (hussein means litle handsome) Obama was taught Islam as a small boy. He was being taught to memorize the quran in an islamic school. That makes him a muslim in the eyes of islam and because he has (supposedly) rejected islam he is an apostate and can be killed under islamic law.
You can learn all these things on the internet. I did on 9/12. islam is anti-freedom, it is anti-free thought, anti-free speech, anti-self determination and anti-American because at it's core it is opposite of what this country was founded on and is all about. islam's purpose and goal is to be the only "religion" and only "government" on the planet. Only the freedoms islam permits would be the freedoms you would have if islam has its way. You kneel or you die.
The Europeans have already learned these things the hard way. As far as I'm concerned if people wwant to follow islam, broadcast prayers over loud speakers, have mosques that is fine. Just not in the US. Am I being radical? I don't think so, they wrote their goals and plans out and have made them well known. Count me out. I want to stay a free man in a free country.
