LOL. I can remember, not so long ago, when the same things were being said about the Vietnamese and Cambodians that came into this nation. Then they proved themselves to be good citizens, and their children are high achieving Americans. And, undoubtedly, Dark n Fury was one of those making such statements about the asians from Southeast asia at that time.
We have had many immigrants of the Muslim faith in the past, and they have assimilated well. Today, because of an ill advised adventure of our nation in the Middle East, there is a huge refugee problem. And many of the refugees are very resentful of the destruction of their world. A few act in a destructive manner on that resentment. Most do their best to assimilate into our nation, an assimilation that includes the right to continue their own religion.
However, the acts of a few give the people of similiar nature, such as Dark n Furry, a reason to hate all. Just as the Irish when they were first fleeing the famine and oppression of England, were considered by many as a danger to this nation.
