Why Dont Muslims Emigrate To America

[clunk1234567]

The muslims are not going to the US because we have social security in the UK.

....because they are already there, Neil..and according to some estimations; well.... read this

3. Muslims are about 20% of the world's population;
Christians, about 30%. (The US Muslim population is
estimated between 5 and 8 million; US Jews between 5
and 6 million). The global Jewish population is
statistically quite small, so one can say the
Judeo-Christian-Islamic population is roughly half the
world's total. The consequences of a protracted
religious war, pitting Christians and Jews against
Muslims, are highly unpleasant to consider.

I noticed but willfully ignored it (my humble apogolies )


I think what is being observed (to go back on track) is how cultural values move in quite a fluid way. The young Muslim growing up in the US or the UK will absorb some of the surrounding cultural norms and feel ill at ease with those of the old country and the older generation. This has happened with almost every ethnic group that has settled in the US and other countries. It is not so much that the new is better it is simply that it is home. We return to that inate conservatism that I talked about earlier. There is not so much a value judgement made by the Muslim girl expected to return to Pakistan to marry - it is simply that it is far more alien to her than her parents anticipated. It will be even more alien to the next generation and ultimately unthinkable to the fourth generation.

I recall a young black Liverpudlian lad talking about a proposal by the racist BNP to send blacks back to Africa. In a broad Liverpool accent he expressed utter horror - he pointed out that he knew nothing of jungles and was terrified of snakes and creepy crawlies and didn&#39;t like foreign food. He was, in effect, as British as they come.

You are absolutely right Biggles.

Don&#39;t even get me started on the term Afro-Americans. They are Americans dammit, not Africans&#33;

For me, I am watching the Indians. Their parents want them to marry Indians via the old way, meanwhile their children are getting drunk and having sex with white boys.

Melting pot, indeed.

I hate that African-American bullshit.

Afro....hell that&#39;s a damn hair style.

White people aren&#39;t European Americans.

Caucasians? White&#39;s are pretty far gone from the Caucas mountains.

My dad is Muslim(doesnt closely follow his religion ), from Iran and immigrated here to America. Irans education system was all gay thanks to it being under a dictatorship(thank you United States for ruining their democracy. ) and his parents had money so they sent him and his brother and sister out of the country for school. First he stopped in England and lived there for a year and hated it so he came to the US. 2 out of the 3 siblings continue to live in the United States. Not to say they agree with American politics but do live here. Oh but he also came here almost 30 yars ago too if that makes any difference.

Fundamentalist Islams what hobbes so ignorantly described. You got fundamentalists who want to undue all progress and go right back into the middle ages in every religon. Christianitys got plenty of those kinda people in it. I like to call them assholes. B)

You just said that your dad doesn&#39;t closely follow his religion.

A religion is not something you dabble in, it is based on belief without proof. I was representing people who follow their faith.

Your father has basically rejected Islam, though keeping those principles he finds convenient.

Let me ask you,why should I( a muslim) go to America.It&#39;s far from being the safest place in the world.I don&#39;t think I want to stay in a country where guns are legalized for any civilians to carry around and in a country where crime rates are VERy high and where the education systems are not as good as it is in Singapore,oh didn&#39;t I tell you I&#39;m from Singapore where it&#39;s MUCH more peacful than America ; where guns are not legal for normal civilians and where the education system is much more higher than it is in America,oh yeah,skin colour is not a big issue here,

That&#39;s the reasons why I would rather stay in Singapore,if I were to immigrate,I&#39;d rather go to Australia ...

You might take the time to read the entire thread.

We are are talking about how Americas freedom may be a threat to the Muslim way of life, specifically in regard to the role of women.
