I'd bet many people in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia et al wonder why Americans couldn't have stayed home with their Cadillacs and pools and football games instead of bombing the crap out of them for no good reason.

What an idiotic comment. There was NOT any mosque in Orlando torched.

No.

It was in Fort Pierce:

Arsonist being sought after fire at Fort Pierce mosque where Pulse nightclub killer prayed, investigators say - Sun Sentinel

Same result though.

Have you ever seen an Orthodox Jewish woman? Can you remember when Catholic Nuns wore Habits, which some still do? How about Hindu women wearing veils and Saris? Amish women?

If Muslim women need to "assimilate", do you want the women of these other (including Christian ones) religions also do the same?

There is something that did happen Monday. The NYC Public Schools were closed for a Muslim Holy Day. My SIL is a NYC Teacher. Maybe 9/11 and the schools closed the after day for Muslim Holy Day was too much for him to handle.

Aren't you an encyclopedia of knowledge.


"The history of American Muslims goes back more than 400 years. Although some evidence suggests that there were Muslims on Columbus’ ships, the first clearly documented arrival of Muslims in America occurred in the 17th century with the arrival of slaves from Africa. Scholars estimate that anywhere from a quarter to a third of the enslaved Africans brought to the United States were Muslims. Large numbers of Moriscos (former Muslims of Spain and Portugal) also came to the Spanish colonies, including many areas of what is today the United States. Although enslaved people were denied freedom of religion, many did practice their faith in secret and pass it on to their children. There are several autobiographies of Muslim slaves that survive from this period, including some by individuals who were involved in the Abolitionist movement and were Union soldiers during the Civil War. The next significant wave of Muslim immigrants began in the mid-19th century. During the late 19th century until the 1920s, large numbers of Arabs, mostly from Lebanon and Greater Syria, arrived in the United States"

Until they find the nutcase that did this we will not know his motivation. That is not in any way a defense of this man but there is seriously something wrong with a person setting fire to anyone.

Agreed. Problem is, Muslims dont adhere to that whatsoever. They move to our countries then proceed to assualt us and our women over how we dress. And we're told to be "tolerant" towards them? Not happening. At least not until the daily attacks on innocents stop. They get the slightest taste of their own medicine and they go berserk. How convenient.

Yes it is. When you have a presidential candidate referring to a large segment of the US population as "deplorables" you have, to an extent, legitimized hatred. Bigoted idiots such as Hillary should learn that words inspire actions. Much like the hatred and violence promoted in the Mosque the Orlando shooter attended.
