For those who might be interested in this nonsense. Perhaps someone will point me to the evidence that Jews are advocating Muslim immigration, because I've never seen it. If instead the issue is the liberal view on immigration, the headline and much of the article are a fraud, most immigrants, legal and illegal, to this country are, well, Christians.
Hold on a second.
Liberal Jewish organizations (sorry, but most Jewish orgs are liberal) support immigration. They do so not only because they are liberal, but also because of a particular Jewish history.
While most immigrants are Christians, a significant number are Muslim. Any significant Muslim immigration posses a threat to Jews. (Go read Stephen Steinlight's article.)
At any rate, the net result is that most Jewish orgs support Muslim immigration to the US irrespective of the threat this causes to America, and American Jews in particular.

Why did your post get so many resposes?...I posted this article first...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1158344/postsBecause you didn't editorialize the title. If you'd offered a conclusion in the title, something like (because Jews Hate Christians) the thread would have gotten more attention.

I agree with you. Liberals, including liberal Jews, support immigration for a number of reasons, but I don't think you can make that case that increasing the Muslim population is one of them, any more than hating Christians (the bulk of the immigrants) is. Clearly a larger Muslim population is one of the results, and one that should be addressed. The misdirection is probably more one of the thread than the article.
