US opens its doors at last to 7,000 Iraqi refugees

[fargon]

Do we really need more 7-11 managers in this country. The last group of exiles we let in (Iranians) took over a major segment of our service industry. I have worked with these people and have seen businesses ruined and customers cheated.
One case in point, a cab company in El Toro Ca. was running improperly registered, and uninsured taxis. When this company was investigated by the PUC the owners Mahmood, and Mosen disappeared and left the middle managers holding the bag.
We allow these people in and they flaunt our laws, and rip off everybody they can. If people want to come here and play by the rules, and try to get along come on down there is always room for more at my table. Just don't come here and expect us to let you cheat, and ridicule our country.

Ugh, corporations do that too.

I'm suprised we didn't leave them to be killed by their fellow countrymen, considering how we've handled every other aspect of this war...

Yes. Those are the subtle tricks the news use to get you to agree with their agenda.

They will also never show a beautiful shot of an area that is suppose to be "bad". All you will see is desert and poverty.

Maybe it is because those other people are not running around performing that "bad" "something" in the name of Allah.

No, and I don't care. But I do know that the teachings of the Muslim faith are not the same as the Christian faith. There is a great book out now making the circuit that talks quite candidly about what the Muslim faith is all about. I would recommend it to all who want to learn more:

One of the most important points she makes in her book are that not all people are equal in the Muslim faith. There are two kinds of people. Believers and non-belivers. That about sums it up. Woman are completely marginalized in the Muslim culture. That was a huge issue for her and she has a legit axe to grind. She avoided an arranged marriage and became what she is today, a voice.

Muslims worship the prophet Jesus (PBUH), they have different gods....

I believe they recognize Jesus as a minor prophet as do Jews. But you are correct. Their Gods and idea of God are completely different.

Completely different? What?

They do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that Judaism and Christianity distorted the messages of these prophets over time either in interpretation, in text, or both.

Muslims believe in not only the same God, but Jesus, Moses, the angels, Adam & Eve, Noah, Heaven, Hell and much more. The main thing Muslims and Christians disagree on is that Muslims do not believe Jesus was the son of God.
