I live in No. Virginia and I have a lot of Iranian friends...a few who’s parents care here when the Shah was overthrown but most who came here after when they were in their teens. Believe me, every single one of them is Americanized, hell more then me in some circumstances :)

A lot of immigrants embrace being American’s 110%. My friends eat a lot of Persian food, speak Farsi among themselves but that’s about all that ties them back to where they came from.

Sixth: there are millions of gun-owners that will exterminate them if they ever start a civil war in this country.

That’s because their population hasn’t reached the threshold yet. Once it does, then they will become much more assertive.

The US is also more selective than Europe in choosing which immigrants they allow into their country.

ROTFLMAO! The ones that walk across the border, mostly the southern one, but some from the frozen land as well, are not screened at all, and that's the bulk of them these days.

It’s true. The Middle Easterners who immigrate to America are generally of a higher class than the ones who immigrate to Europe. Maybe because of colonialism, the Europeans feel obligated to take in many more indiscriminately than Americans do? I don’t know, but I do know there’s no comparison between Lebanese in America & Lebanese in Australia, or Moroccans in America & Moroccans in France.

I wish you lived in my neighborhood and I feel do the same way.

There’s too many of us with guns...that’s why.

The article didn’t mention guns for some reason.

C) Work-or-perish environment unlike the European model of work-or-go-on-the-dole.

Another good reason why I am opposed to socialist programs. They breed & attract parasites.

Arabs flocked to France to take advantage of the system & basically hang out. They don't have to work. They just collect stipends. I can see the same happening here. Dependence creates derelicts.

Which is why I am afraid of the Democrats. They are kindhearted to the point of being dangerously naive.

If you’re focused on earning a living and believe that you have a chance to get ahead, then there’s not much time and/or energy for extremist nonsense.

He forgot that lots of us carry. We’ll blow them away if they try to hurt us.

What is the explanation of this dramatic contrast?

IMO the 2nd Amendment. Thanks for the ping.
