You post that crap on a thread about Muslims having open slave markets?
Yes, because you need to be reminded that evil isn't Muslim, it's human. You have Christian sects which marry their girls off at 13 and 14 in plural marriages. That's a form of slavery which you condone on the grounds of "religious freedom".
You keep painting Muslims as evil. They are no more or less evil than Christians. Open slave markets in Nigeria speaks more to the total lawlessness of Nigeria than it does speak to Muslim practices.
I have a sincere question------of course you need not answer------do you know
muslims who were educated in muslim countries and now live in the USA?
Do you live in the USA? (you are under NO constraint to answer if the question
invades your privacy)
Yes, I do. I also worked with and know a number of Muslim families in Canada. Most came from the Middle East, and all are grateful to be in North America.
I live in Canada near the Canada/US border, and have many family and friends living in the US.
good----we have a kind of basis for discussion-----you probably know something
about islam--------I am going to guess that the people you know are fairly educated??? It would help for me to know in which muslim countries. Education varies. Even in muslim countries like EGYPT---there is a big difference
between people who lived out in the sticks and those who lived in places like
CAIRO. Are you familiar with muslims from southeast Asia?
The Muslims I know and worked with were from Dubai and Nigeria, although the woman from Nigeria was of Indian descent. Her family had moved to Uganda and left when Idi Amin was President and threw out all of the Asians. They owned a resort hotel in Nigeria, and some of her family are still there. The woman from Dubai was born and raised in Dubai and had recently emmigrated. She told me she had watched the Burge Dubai being built from her office windows.
I lived and worked in downtown Toronto for 30 years. Toronto is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. The area I lived in was heavily Asian - the Gerard St. Chinatown/Little India business district was two blocks from my house. Half of the kids in our public school were Asian, mostly Chinese and Vietnamese, but also Korean and Thai, a quarter of the kids were black or mixed race, and the remaining quarter were white. My newsletter from my daughter's public school came home in 20 different languages.
The law firm I worked for used a Muslim-owned car and driver service, which I used to get to work when I broke my foot, so I would spend the 20 minutes in traffic chatting with the mostly Muslim drivers, 5 days a week. The car service turned out to be cheap and I continued to use it for the next 3 years until I left that firm.
I now live in a small town in rural Ontario, which is whiter than white. My youngest daughter, who grew up in downtown Toronto attended my grandsons' school concert and commented that she had never seen so many white people in one place. There was one brown family - from India, and that was it.
People in Toronto are not scared shitless of Muslims because they're our neighbours, our friends and our coworkers. Where I live, I encounter more people who are terrified of Muslims prescisely because they don't know any.
Ok you have now revealed to me why you know nothing about muslims and islam. ---I live in a city even more diverse than is yours-----but I did not learn about islam HERE. I LEARNED from muslims out in the sticks----when I was very young and
working as a YOUNG COLLEGE KID with young muslim doctors educated in muslim countries. If I had lived in the city in which I live now-----back then, like you; I would know nothing about islam or muslims. Muslims would just be amongst THE VERY DIVERSE POPULATION---------people I ran into every day VERY SUPERFICIALLY-------the people from Nepal no different from the people
from Kenya. OUT IN THE STICKS---there is nothing to do but GET TO KNOW
other people if one wishes------or ignore them if one wishes. I was young OUT IN THE STICKS--------and persons from FAR AWAY fascinated me. Way back----
50 years ago------I was invited to visit mosques------and I read the Koran (at a time
when most people in my area never heard of the book) I got to learn what muslim kids growing up Karachi or New Dehli learned about the world as children and STILL BELIEVED. Later on in my PRESENT very diverse society-----I still learn on a fairly intimate level-------not just because the cab driver is pakistani .
My very own hubby was born in one of the world's most conservative shariah
shit holes in the world. He is not muslim----BUT being from a land still a shariah shit hole-----he does have an instan "link" with persons newly arrived from
that land even if that person is only the person pumping gas at the local gas station. Feel free to ask questions. Your statement "unlike you, WE are not scared shitless by muslims....." .. is vulgar and presumptuous and idiotic
