“These people don’t THINK Westernly.”

Yet they are an increasing presence here in NJ; get used to them. I’ve been to birthday parties with my children held by some of them; they seem modern enough that the wife doesn’t have to wear a bag on her head, and the husbands don’t have mullah-beards...

Yeah, you are. You think our situation is a joke. Go back to your own country if it’s so funny.

Some are comfortable enough to meld into a US lifestyle and mingle with the infidel, but there are always going to be these fundamentalists who follow a definitely UN-Western tome, their Koran. It’s almost infinitely easier for a Muslim, any Muslim, even a secular one, to get back to Koranic roots than to believe seriously in the Christian bible.

Surah 8, ayat 12

Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

Lovely girl with rather elegant fingers on her remaining hand. She wants to become an attorney. Muslim men are ignorant pigs.
