Exactly right. I've had both Amish and Mormons as neighbors and business associates. When TSHTF, they would be the first I'd turn to for mutual help and support.

Muslims, OTOH, would be the first to attack.

I'm guessing you have the good fortune of living among Iranians (and their descendants) who fled here when the Shah was deposed in 1979. Generally good to great people, I've had them as business associates and co-workers. One of them could even outdrink me back in my beer drinking days.

They are rational, secular, friendly and tolerant. IOW, the mirror opposite of the bass turds running the country now.

I’m all for non-assimilation of muslims in the US... have a ball. So what, if these muslims want to terrorize and behead a few here, aloha akbar murder a bunch there, just like their Hasidim and Amish brethren.

Oh, wait... I forgot, those other groups DON’T terrorize and behead and aloha-akbar murder.

Specious reasoning on the part of the author, but unfortunately it can fool a lot of people.

I hate to say it but much of this argument makes sense.

The Hassidum run the show.

Not good enough reason for SCOTUS, POTUS and Congress.

You lose and are expected to wait for the muzzie doomsday.

Government has failed its people, the day they let the muzzies in.

Simplest answer, because it is true.

Sure. A couple hundred thousand (at most) sincere religionists with no history of violence and who actually discourage people from converting, they’re just like millions of Muslims flooding in from violent homelands demanding the imposition of shariah and making violent converts. They’re the same. Really.

Oh, ‘cause the Jews in Williamsburg are studying math and science while the Muzzies are studying shape-shifting Jews and how to rape virgins.

If they don’t want to ASSimilate, I suggest then that they haul ASS. Americans don’t want or need them here. Make the world a better place, GO HOME!

Who says they need to? Isn't it our job to assimilate with them?

One reason might be that Sharia law and the United States Constitution cannot coexist since Sharia law is incompatible with our Constitution. A further reason might be that ultimately Islam would, therefore, lead to the advocacy of the overthrow of our governments by force and violence since Sharia law is filled with unconstitutional violent punishment for all who do not conform to it, which our institutions could not do without throwing out our Constitutions, state and federal.

Didn’t read this but I thought after 9/11 that it’s not assimilation. There are Orthodox Jews who aren’t “assimilated”, the Amish aren’t assimilated, the Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t celebrate Christmas or even birthdays.

But these folks aren’t going around insisting that the rest of us live our lives in comportment with their beliefs and they certainly aren’t chopping anyone’s head off or gunning people down because of it.

So, no, Muslims don’t have to assimilate, what they do have to do is SHUT UP and BEHAVE.

Personally I don’ think they need to assimilate. They need to emigrate back to the Mideast post haste.
