The points I'd like to look at are:
What do Muslims in AMERICA want?
Are they any different than other religious groups in America?
What does this say about Muslim immigration in America vs other countries?
1. Geography is not germane. Muslims in America want the same thing as Muslims elsewhere want. They read the same Quran. They want slow painful deaths to infidels.
That's where I disagree, and that is where I feel culture comes in, so geography is very germaine. Islam is not a "diaspora" group - it's a group, like Christianity, that spread through proselytizing and conversions, some through violent means and conquests, some through passive assimilation into the dominant religion.
The result is that (and again, I'll compare it to Christianity) a religion who's practices and beliefs vary across cultures around the world. What constitutes modest dress, interpretation of Sharia, levels of tolerance to other faiths, etc. Core beliefs - belief in Prophet Mohammed, the 5 Pillars etc remain the same but there is variation elsewhere.
Just one example, this Pew poll on Muslims and Sharia around the world:
There is nothing I can find that shows even a significant minority of American Muslim support for killing infidels in a slow agonizing death.
2. To realize the difference, watch the news for a week and then compare atrocities. There will be no reports of Christians for example, slaughtering children at their school desks, or beheading, or lowering people in vats of acid, etc. by militant Christians. Or any other religious group that I know of, except Muslims.
A couple of points here:
Is the American Muslim community engaging in this?
Is there support in that community for these actions?
Also, we all know that the news focus' on the most sensational events - does that indicate a wide spread occurance or support for those activities?
3. It says that we will be thrown into the same state of insanity that is now Germany, France, Poland, Greece.....
It is a UN directive. A Muslim diaspora. And death. There is only one candidate that wants us out of the encroaching UN. Trump 2016
Except it hasn't happened - immigrants, included Muslims, integrate well into the US culture (again see the poll). We and a number of other countries seem to be quite successful at this. Is it due to how we handle it, the cultures and backgrounds our immigrants tend to come from vs others?
