OK, now that the ball game is over, laundry is done etc, we move on to the menial and address this post...
And, it is precisely that kind of ignorance that has this country in the mess we are in. Prior to 1960 the typical American immigrant was from Europe, and had European customs. They came to the United States looking for opportunity, not a hand out. All you need do is look at the accomplishments of Eastern Europeans and Italians to understand this.
Then it all changed, we began bringing in the third world types who were tribalistic animals that do not understand Western democracy. But they did understand the welfare handout that previous immigrants had not enjoyed. What contributions have you seen to America from foreign Muslims? Anything noteworthy? You can't name a thing can you?
Now immigrants have always caused problems for host countries, but we would not have had 911 or the Boston Marathon Bombing if we had not let these third world barbarians into our nation. Johnny Jihad is here to push the agenda of the Koran. Muslim is a religion that opposes everything America stands for. Yet we stupid Americans continue to offer a generous hand, to the point we are letting third world foreigner Muslims destroy our very country. These people do not want to assimilate to America, they want to give us the "gift of their ignorant, anti-American religion." This is why there were dead bodies all over Boston and New York. Am I getting through to you at all? Or, are you just sitting in our politically correct, leftest bubble with your head up your ass?
We should have figured this out when they insisted on building a Mosque near ground zero. Certainly not a friendly way to join the American community. Deport all foreign Muslims. We don't have to put up with this shit in the United States.
That mosque has been there since way before 9/11, and is a Sufi congregation, which has nothing to do with Wahabbism except as adversaries. DUH.
The Asian immigrants who built the railroads across this country might be startled to learn they had "European customs". DOUBLE DUH.
However I must admit, your inane OP does have a point; had we refused entry to "Muslim foreigners", the kids involved would not have been here to do what they did. We'd have to rely on homegrown terrorists like Matt Goldsby, Jimmy Simmons, Kathy Simmons, Kaye Wiggins, Reverend Paul Jennings Hill, John Salvi, Eric Rudolph, Martin Uphoff, Patricia Hughes, Jeremy Dunahoe, Paul Ross Evans, Bobby Joe Rogers, or Francis Grady.
What a difference that would have made, huh?
Hard to believe minds like this get to vote... smh
BTW how come you bigots only see terrorists in terms of religion when they're Muslim? Not to mention when they haven't used their religion as a pretext, in contrast to the entire list of Christians above?
(no DUH big enough for this one...)
The Muslims were offered more than the property was worth by Donald Trump, and refused. While they may have had the legal right to build, it was not neighborly, and gave Americans another reason to hate them. They have demonized themselves.
"The Muslims" were, huh? How did that work? "The Muslims" have a bank account somewhere and Wiggy went there with a check in hand? Is it all about money then? You're pissed that Wiggy couldn't buy them off? Language always gives you away. "The Muslims" this, "The Jews" that, "The blacks" the other thing...
"Not neighborly"?? Are you unaware that Masjid al-Farah congregation has already been in that neighborhood for at least thirty years? Are you blissfully ignorant that when Park 51 was announced, the congregation were
already using that building as a prayer space? Do you even have any idea
what Masjid al-Farah even is?
Do you know what Sufis are? Do you know how many Sufis flew planes into buildings on 9/11? (Hint: the Arabic number looks like this: {0}). Do you know that these Sufis are themselves, and have been, targets of Wahabbist bombings and violence too? Or is this all in the land of blissful "day all look alike to me" ignorance?
Of course, this all assumes that the 9/11 terrorists did what they did as a
religious act rather than a
political one, a case you have yet to make. Good luck with that.
"Not neighborly" my ass. In light of your outright hypocrisy here you have absolutely no place to talk about "neighborly".
While the Chinese contribution to building the railroads has long been acknowledged by all, their contribution involved less than 6,000 people which makes it relatively small footnote in the history of America.
CHINESE-AMERICAN CONTRIBUTION TO TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD
Thanks but I don't need links to tell me what I already know, or how it contrasts with what you wrote:
Prior to 1960 the typical American immigrant was from Europe, and had European customs. They came to the United States looking for opportunity, not a hand out
--- and even within that group a lot of them got the same kind of bigoted shit you're dumping on "the Jews"-- oh wait, it's "the Muslims" now-- , particularly Irish, Italians, Polish and Jews, as well as the aforementioned Chinese. It's how pig-ignorance works.
Finally you grudgingly admit that I am right, no foreign Muslims in the United States, no Boston Marathon Bombing. The more we get rid of the fewer we have to worry about, giving us more time to focus on our home-grown terrorists who are legitimately our problem.
Hard to believe the level of reading noncomprehension here-- that's not "grudgingly admitting"-- it's
mocking. It's so mockable on so many levels of ignorance.
Level one: on 9/11 we were attacked by terrorists. Some time after that, that line was changed to "we were attacked by Muslims". How exactly did that come about?
Are we offended if a mosque opens up near the Federal Building in Oklahoma City? Or near a bombed lesbian bar or abortion clinic?
Oh wait-- those weren't done by "Muslims" were they? ... yet they must have something in common... what is it?

:cue Jeopardy think music:: )
All together now-- they were all ... TERRORISTS. Regardless what religion, if any, they followed. The fact remains that we were attacked not by a religion but by terrorists. That's -uh- why we call it "terrorism" and not "religionism". Because terrorists do it. Whether they be Wahabbi, Hindu, Catholic, atheist - again, religion has never been a prerequisite.
We were not attacked by "Islamists" or "sports fans" or "Sagittarians" or "people whose name begins with a dental consonant". We were attacked by terrorists. Period. Guilt by Association is what's known as a fallacy.
None of which by the way has anything to do with Boston. That's Level Two.
Remember your project to prove that 9/11 was a religious rather than political act just above? It just got harder: now you've got to back up your "johnny jihad" fantasy-- not only that the Boston bombing had something to do with religion but that it even had something to do with terrorism.
Better order a fresh supply of crickets. I suspect since it had nothing to do with either of them, it has everything to do with your own ignorance.
As far as your comment about the Muslim religion as a cause of American problems, I suggest you watch something called a "television network news." Not a week goes by that these third world barbarians are not causing some expensive problem for American. Remove foreign Muslims, reduce the terror threat, and cutting our risk is a big DUH!
Reading comprehension strikes again. I've never made any such comment, ever. Such a statement would be stupid. Even stupider than watching "a television network news [sic]". And I suggest you get your nose out of Pam Geller's ass, the
chief perpetrator of your "Ground Zero Mosque" hack soap opera. Geller and her ilk are the journalistic equivalent of terrorists. It's what they sell. Why are you buying?
By the way, words like "bigot" and "racist" used to concern me when I was a Dem. Then I realized it is just name-calling by inferiors who want in the United States. They are complainers who know it is easier to be a bleeding heart than to dig in and solve a problem. They think we owe them something. They are not special, and they are at the bottom of the American food chain where every immigrant group starts out. They think it should all be given to them, they deserve it! Bull shit. Muslims are enemys of the American people, and should not be trusted. If there are some good ones, why are they not speaking out, and aiding the American government? You sure don't see that on the network television news.
You sure don't, since everything in that paragraph is too mindless even for TV, and that's saying a lot. Just to pick/mock one at random: "Muslims are enemys [sic] of the American people" -- really? Comparing an entire religion to an entire national population? No, it's not surprising the word "bigot" doesn't bother you. If it did you could get over it. As they say, the first step is to
admit you have a problem. Ahem.
Immigrants come to this country for opportunity, one of the founding tenets of which is religious freedom. Ignorance like this thread spits on that spirit. Here's how one observer put it:
>> "These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.
...America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect. ...Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior."
