Religious freedom? A better life? I had several friends who came from Iran after the 70's and 80's looking for such things. Mostly smart people with a slightly different belief system. Hard workers as I recall, really family oriented. And, no, I'm not supporting radical Islam or anything stupid like that. Neither did they, then or now. I don't support radicals on most fronts. Similar reasoning back when our ancestors came to America. c
...except it was overturned. You might want to read the whole thing, instead of selectively quoting stuff.
Nah, I think that belongs more to the Christians/Catholics. Didn't they come to the Americas to 'spread the word' - basically spread their thinking/belief system to those who didn't ask for it? Sounds like us in the ME a bit. c
You "think" wrong yet again. Look at what happened: In the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12371994 In France: http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2011/February/Frances-Sarkozy-Multiculturalism-Has-Failed/ In Germany: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/17/angela-merkel-german-multiculturalism-failed In the Netherlands: http://www.stonegateinstitute.org/2219/netherlands-abandons-multiculturalism Sharia law is already a huge problem here in the United States, as this 633 page report detailing 50 significant cases in 23 states shows... these are only the tip of the iceberg BTW. http://shariahinamericancourts.com/...aw_And_American_State_Courts_1.4_06212011.pdf
LOL. They came to America so the government wouldn't tell them what religion to believe. It's one thing to provide and educate, it's another to command and demand. You have some very confused ideas, c. P
I don't see much 'command and demand' from their particular ideological ilk. No more than many others anyway. I think most of them came here legally as well. I may be wrong, but my guess is that there is nowhere near the problem with illegal immigration with them, as a group anyway. c
Just so people have some more information. Here is some follow-up news on this case in PA where the judge ruled. Judge's dismissal of harassment charge goes viral http://www.wral.com/news/national_world/national/story/10790455/
