Word is out of 100; MOST Muslim terrorists are some kind of Arab, but Iranians, Pakistanis and especially Bosnians ain't near as bad.

OTOH: Christian Arabs have the rep of being MUCH more mellow as well as doing better in life.

Same "ethnicity" but, way different cultures with the cross over point being religion.

To add to the mix, India has more Muslims than many Muslim countries put together and yet you don't see crazies coming out of India. There must be something in the water. I have come to the conclusion that the radical Islamists are those who DON'T follow Islam. Those who are killing the infidels are following the plain Islam.

I have an Indian friend who hates Muslims with a passion. His wife tells him that they are not like that over here. I just think there is no Western troops and therefore no attacks on the West. They keep it local. Just like the Muslims in Mindanao in the Philippines.

The key is to limit immigration and stop destabilizing relatively secular dictators. Leave the crazies alone.

So what?

If this is an attempt to link this stuff to Arab Americans, forget about it.

They're one of the hardest working and most successful groups in this country. And i can't imagine this country without them, nor do i want to.

Yes, unlike Europe, our Arabs tend to come from wealthier backgrounds. We have done Arab immigration right...up to now.

Our Arabs? Uhhhh....ok.

Moreover, i'm not so sure about them coming from wealthier backgrounds. That's not my experience with Arab Americans. I know a hell of a lot of Palestinians, and they didn't come from money.

But maybe you know something i don't.
