Muslims in the US are as similar as the Muslims in Europe. Despite the fearmongering, the vast majority of Muslims in Europe are hard-working and well integrated into the societies. There are no "Muslim sharia law no-go zones" anywhere in Europe.
Sure there are jihadists and other rotten apples, but these are usually criminals with mental problems, and usually have problems with alcohol and drugs.
Come and visit Europe, I suggest this to everyone. You will be surprised and notice that everything Fox News have told to you is false.
I'm glad you brought these up. What do they all have in common? They were perpetrated by lone individuals. How many caucasian Americans have gone on far deadlier rampages in the same time frame?
I think it is safe to conclude that we have a domestic terrorism problem with white, native born Americans. The statistics back this up.
We have our hands full already with home grown white, black, brown, and Asian terrorists. So why do we need to import radical Muslim terrorists?
This is a very ignorant statement. America deliberately select the best educated and upper class and most secular muslims for entry to the United States. Nevertheless, muslim immigrants and their descendants is a miniscule share of the American population compared to the situation in Europe. Its comparing apples to oranges.
Where do you get this from? The majority of Muslim refugees that have come into the US over the past 5 to 10 years are still not self supporting. By self supporting I mean no food stamps, no Medicaid, no housing subsidies. They are arriving uneducated unskilled and unable to speak English. Their kids are a drag on the schools given their inability to speak English and not being at grade level. Muslim refugees on average do not accept American norms as concerns women, Jews, and the LGBT community. They are more loyal to the Koran than to the US Constitution.

These sorts of thoughts just don't hold up to the facts:
Muslim Americans are the second most educated religious group, behind Jews. They are more likely to have jobs than other groups and have higher incomes. Muslim Americans have more gender parity than other Americans when it comes to income and education...they also overwhelmingly vote democrat for similar reasons that Jewish communities do.
Facts are really important. I know many of you have been brainwashed and told a lie long enough that it eventually sticks but I hope (perhaps naïvely) that someone will have an open mind.
I think they are different. The Muslim immigrants in the US are often more educated and wealthy. It costs lots of money to cross the Atlantic and move here legally.
Worth repeating...not all Muslims in America come from another country.
1 per cent of our population is Muslim...not sure how many of those aren't born Americans.
Anybody?
About 40% were born here, and that percentage has been going up and up and up as time goes on.
