"I do everything for the U.S.," said Ali Said, 77, wearing an American United flag pin as he walks down Ingham Avenue."

Hmmm. Do I detect a bit of this going on?

Al-taqiyya

< snip >

"I have learned that, for this reason, it is very common practice for Muslims, especially leaders, to lie about the war against non-Muslims. These lies come in many forms such as denying that Islam is a war against non-Muslims, that the Koran teaches salvation through fighting and killing non-Muslims, feigning sympathy for the US concerning 9/11, or Muslim countries denying that they have military intentions against Israel, the US, or other non-Muslim countries."

< snip >

"In summary, Al-taqiyya and dissimulation mean that no non-Muslim can believe anything told to them by any Muslim especially if it has to do with the Koran's perpetual Jihad against all non-Muslims. For that Muslim to lie to you is for that Muslim to do a good work towards earning salvation."

Perils and pitfalls of a self imposed cultural and psychological ghetto.

How delightful. 'Free trade' and IMF loans to foreign steel producers help devastate a blue collar middle class town and as it crumbles into a welfare slum rife with drug peddling, illegitimacy, and crime an Islamic ghetto rises in its midst. After a while this bit of multicultural America sends some of its sons off to Taliban land to imbibe hatred of Great Satan America at first hand. This is a snapshot of the new America that is taking root throughtout much of the old industrial heartland. At one time our culture was strong enough to pull such communities as the Yemenites into the greater circle of American life. Today in the shadow of shuttered factories and empty mills the reverse is going on as these foreign bodies draw enough sustenance from the larger community to grow and expand their alien prescence. What will cities such as Buffalo look like in another generation-Sarjevo perhaps?

As an aside, in the last century Yemen was home to a sizable Jewish community.

It is very true, that they do not assimilate. I lived in a very small town in Northern Germany that had a large Muslim population. My daughter used to play with a group of Turkish kids at the park. The mother's would sit all together in traditional Muslim get up and never once did they try and speak with me or crack a smile.

Walking throught the town (which I frequently did) you could point out the houses rented or belonging to Muslim familes. Now, the Germans don't do much right but they do keep their homes and gardens immaculate. I literally have seen women out on their stoops washing the steps with bleach water and a brush. The homes the Muslim families lived in were TRASHED! Just completely uncared for and dirty. Junk and trash everywhere.

Family also helped some of the men raise the money last year to travel to Pakistan for the religious pilgrimage that ultimately led to the charges they now face in federal court.

I suspect that that's a cover story, and that the trips were really paid for by Saudi money.

"There were no girls or women in the crowd. Yemeni girls, by tradition, don't play soccer, and mothers don't have time to show up for games, although they are welcome, said Abdul Salam Noman, the Lackawanna High School varsity soccer coach who also heads the Lackawanna Yemen Soccer Club. "Each family has many kids, and it's a lot for the women to drag them to the soccer field to watch a game," Noman said. "It's not that we don't want them there."

OK, so here are the men all watching the soccer game while the moms are home with the other kids. Does it not enter the mind of any of these men to relieve poor mom a bit by bringing along one or two of the other kids? Does it never enter their minds that maybe they could stay home with the kids every other week and let mom go see her darling play? Why, of course it doesn't! They are MEN.. their wives are merely their servents.
