1. They are a minuscule portion of the U.S. population.

2. They're better educated than most Americans.

3. They have more gender equality.

4. They've been here since the birth of the nation.

5. They're not just clustered in big cities.

6. They're as religious as Christians.

7. They're not as dogmatic as they are portrayed.

8. There have been Muslims involved in terrorism.

9. But they've also spoken out against it.

You couldn’t get CNN to write such a puff piece about Christians in a million years.

If you want to be a better Muslim, you start killing everybody who ISN'T EXACTLY LIKE YOU!

That is not a religion in my book and it began with the founder and was codified in their original documents. It's a firmly established psycho death cult with a lot of religious-style trappings.

I wish I could find the article, but it was written by an American woman who converted to Islam, "Because they KNOW how to treat women right, and RESPECT them."

Oh?

Wearing head to toe hijabs, so that they don't "tempt" men into raping them?

And IF a man rapes them, it's the WOMAN'S fault, and she should be stoned to death.

Real "open minded" there, lady.

The last time they were on a world wide move to spread their “religion” the result was The Crusades. That was the only thing that stopped them.

And since Europe was slow to see the danger or to fight the danger, many countries that were once Christian (like Turkey, Syria and Egypt) had become Muslim by the time of The Crusades.

We are inexorably marching towards something comparable because they will not stop. They will not prevail, but there will be mayhem before it’s stopped, and mostly because we are slow to see what is going on, the same as before.

I think by “gender equality” she means they have managed to get a considerable number of high profile positions. Did you know that Granny Clinton’s handler is Muslim?

“From September 11, 2001, until the end of 2014, 109 Muslim-Americans plotted against targets in the United States. And terrorism by Muslim-Americans killed 50 in the same time period. Contrast that with the deaths from other mass shootings just last year: 136 — more than twice as many as all the deaths from 13 years of Muslim-American terrorism.”

So if you remove 3000 of their victims, this “minuscule” population has killed half the numbers as the rest of the population. Wow, that’s really deep CNN.

They have more gender equality.

They mutilate the genitals of men so that they have no sexual feelings, the way they mutilate women's genitals? I don't think so.

The American Left has TOTALLY LOST IT.

What am I to think of people who see its political enemies as a bigger threat than foreigners actively trying to kill them??????

From college students I hear the universities pay Arabs to attend their school... They may also get funds from the govt to attend. This is all rumor, but I have heard it from multiple students.
Gender equality? Tilth is not equality..

Well, there was one in the 1700s in VA... though he converted to Christianity : Selim the Agerine

How he came to be in the back woods of Virginia was known only to him, though, so everyone had to take his word for it. A hunter found him, starving and bedraggled and perched high in a tree; at first the hunter thought he was some kind of previously unknown animal but soon realized his mistake and after feeding and tending to him, led him back to Augusta VA where he was turned over to the local preacher who could speak a few languages in the hopes of figuring out what the guy was saying- according to old family history - but here’s a more recent story on the guy:

Colonial Virginia gentry embraced stranded North African
http://www.dailypress.com/features/history/dp-nws-selim-the-algerine-20130429-story.html

Obviously by their reaction and that of other colonists around the region, they were most certainly not accustomed to meeting muslims. He was quite the novelty- as in very, very, rare.

Lost me in the gender equality thing

When did a muslim ever kill his son in an honor killing or mutilate his genitals to destroy his sexual desire?

When did a Muslim ever dictate that his son’s hair and face and all body to wrists and ankles be covered when outside the family home?

And yes, let’s compare the number of honor killings in islamic America to the number of christian Jewish and Hindu honor killings
