re: #241 researchok

Do they get that worked up about the Amish? Or Hindus? Or Muslims women who choose to wear identifiable clothing?

Regardless, it is none of their business.

We have no business demanding Muslims assimilate than we do asking Hasidim or Amish or Hindus to assimilate.

Can we demand they and everyone else integrate? Absolutely, but that is a far cry from assimilation as I noted above.

I’m confused at you using the Amish as an example. They aren’t immigrants. They’ve been here forever and are not immigrating to this country.

Cubans, Mexicans, Haitians, South and Central Americans etc. These are immigrants.

It’s not that we demand they assimilate. Our laws require them to. Remember the bruhaha at the Minnesota airport (I think it was MN) where Muslim cabbies refused to transport people who carried liquor? Perfect example of the cultural clash, but it was resolved, do largely in part to the MUSLIMS already living here who told them they couldn’t do that.
