“Probably the ones who fist came here came to get away from the nonsense going on in the middle east.”
Exactly. That’s not to say that there aren’t extremists here, but I have a feeling most who live here just wanted a better life away from the stranglehold of Islamic law in their home countries.
That also includes the Arab Christians who know first hand directly or from family history what living under Muslim governing is like and value freedom bigtime.
What I noticed here in Canada is that most of the extremists are the children of muslim immigrants who were either born here or were brought over at a very young age. The parents who actually had to live under islamic law generally want nothing to do with it while the kids romanticize jihad because they’ve never seen it firsthand.
I have to agree with your observation. I think the author has hit it right on the head. Our prisons are filled with extremists right now, and I do not think your religious orientation ( at least in this country ) has alot to do with it...
