Most people want to know: Have I turned into a "Jesus nut" after leaving Connecticut for Texas five years ago? Not really - but I have some keener observations about US culture, sharpened by living in Texas. Skip the rest if you don't have an open mind.
Most of the comments on this forum about refugees going home out of disgust with the West are amusing, esp from my perspective of being an American with a college education, successful career & loving, stable family. All of these things are granted by God through his means and a lifetime of hard work and good parenting.
In the five years since I've moved to Texas, I've encountered more real live Muslims here in Texas than anywhere else in my life, including other states during widespread US travel, and abroad. Most are polite. There are some who truly came here to escape the hellholes and not change America except to offer their considerable (mainly US-educated) talents. More than half of the rest are clueless. The rest, though, truly would like to replace our laws with Sharia law. (Irving, Texas islamic legal council and and clockboy court case in point.) So far, we've only reached the Fifth Point of Departure in the 20-year MB plan to completely subsume America's culture; reference http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/687.pdf
The permissive elements of our culture, like it or not, totally encourage being non-Christian in almost every way. Many observant Muslims are as horrified as Christians at the (illegal) changes that America has made to normalize many of the things both Christians & Islam consider to be sinful by the book. But that's where we diverge. We can use the 10th amendment to get our whole country off the hook for those immoral and unconstitutional laws that are passed out of human frailties and corruption. It's inevitable, isn't it?
Back to our regularly scheduled programming. It's about the refugee invasion. Would I house the refugees from the middle east & other islamic countries? No way. There is a huge culture gap here - it's not about inequality at all, it's about culture fed by religious belief, plain & simple. We live in the greatest nation in the world BECAUSE of our religion & our Constitution. Islamic refugees with no clear ideas about Western culture or capitalistic ideals need to stay where they are and work to fix their own countries, not pollute other nations with Sharia. And we need to stop changing our culture and inviting people in who refuse to assimilate peacefully and renounce imposition of Sharia over US law. It starts right there and Irving, Texas won. Let's not throw that away.
Well, if you want to live among muzzies, go ahead. I’ll stay here in good old NY where I never run into them. Or if I do, I don’t know about it.
My hometown is about 17% Mohammedan Somalis. They started coming here after Black Hawk Down. There are burkha clad women all over but the only difference between their look and that of the Irish and French nuns the city was full of in my youth is that the Somalis are more colorfully garbed! As a group they are no trouble at all; actually, they are quite nice. Many run their own small businesses and their welfare and crime rate is substantially below that of our local representatives of the shallow end of the Founders’ gene pool. Our high school soccer team are the state champs!
Frankly, I think everyone should take a deep breath and calm down.
LurkedLongEnough’s article is pretty clearly a vanity, and the linked article is germane to his topic. I don’t know why you’re having such a hard time figuring this out.
And it’s a good vanity. He’s not blog pimping. I fail to see the problem here, other than your attempts at creating one and hijacking the thread, as is your wont.
I'm not the one posting Arabic crap as an article. In News.
If you have a problem with me objecting to that, I hope you have tissues at hand.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
With THAT coastline, they will always be able to feed themselves.
We saw many of them when we visited Kenya. POOR, POOR, POOR to our Western eyes, but not to themselves.
Are these nuts making me thirsty?
I learned a long time ago that NO ONE can explain the middle east to ANYONE over here: impossible.
One has to LIVE it (We were there five YEARS.), BREATHE it, work in it, hear it and get to know the folks we work with.
Otherwise, it's empty rhetoric.
Probably....go get a glass of ORANGE juice
Your post reeks of unhappiness and, perhaps, mis-direction. If you are not a moslem, then your knowledge and understanding of Islam and the moslem brotherhood is sadly lacking. If that's the case, you should let the adults continue to talk, and close your mouth and begin your study of the "religion" of Islam. You, and your family, and all Americans need to study our enemy. And soon.
“No surprise there, given that Texas now has more Muslims per capita than all but 4 states.”
They know their place, if they don’t, they learn the hard way. If you want to be a live muslim in Texas don’t fiddle
with with the band.
Oh, hush up junior.
You go read a bunch of Arabic, save me the trouble.
Thanks for the post. All Americans need to read and heed.
“You, and your family, and all Americans need to study our enemy. And soon.”
I agree. They should be examined closely. I think while dangling from the end of a bayonet to be the best method. Firmly affixed, as Chesty Puller suggested, to a flame thrower, would be best.
Agreed. Good thing they can’t shoot for $***. We are Georgia. We got lots a Daryls.
Ah, so your knowledge comes then from being a Muslim yourself.
Well then you can perform an honor killing on yourself, Achmed.
Yes we do. LOL!
Did you know orange juice can be very red....?
Regardless of what I read, I’m certainly not going to allow
some wanker to act as if he knows more or is somehow better
than me and qualified to lecture me.
People who pretend to be better than others need kicked in the crotch and rolled in a ditch.
