"Exceptional" is the most accurate word to describe America. Our founders were tired of being told what to do with their religion and money. England wanted our tea tax and others for their coffers. When the productivity of the Colonies outpaced the dependence on Britain for protection and support, we had had enough of that!
I think the problem is fear of people we do not know. Few have studied sociology enough to know about their unique social ways. Almost none have a clue about their Muslim religion. Those same people claim to know about their Christian religion and forget it encourages the welcoming of strangers and care of the poor and outcast. We certainly have become arrogant in our wealth and "success" of recent years.
Are we aware of how much our greed and aggression in foreign lands has displaced people who now need a place to go? They backed the American presence and now they fear for their lives once we left them high and dry. Part of the displacement of people is a direct result of our own actions and now we need to take responsibility to give a place of refuge to people seeking their dignity and freedom---otherwise we simply lie to them and make empty promises.
Almost all the negative things I hear about "foreigners" pertains to a lack of knowledge and lack of caring to welcome strangers to our new country. Our ancestors were all immigrants at one time in any family history.
I came to Beaufort County from Nash County. There are some immigrants with a Muslim heritage now in Rocky Mount. They are interesting to talk with. They run businesses and have become better citizens than the drug gangs running the streets of Nash/Edgecombe.
I grew up in Atlanta and it is hardly recognizable in many places. English signs are not present on some outlying places, but that is OK. I have not learned their language either and it is an opportunity to grow and develop my world of southern white drawl. I look on the changes as an opportunity rather than a risk.
Most of us sprouted our wings at one time or another. Some felt too threatened and quickly wanted to build a simple nest in the corner of their life for security only. Those who were willing to meet new people and dared to start a new business had an opportunity to succeed in America.
Why---really---would we deny that same opportunity we had to those who are wanting to try it for themselves?
I see some new types of restaurants serving native dishes which smell good and have native music coming out the windows or over the wall of the outdoor area. I love Rick Steves' travel shows and have done some travel myself. The stupid and narrow ones who paid big bucks are the ones who want to find a Kentucky Fried in the middle of Paris, France or Munich, Germany.
It won't really kill us to be open to something new. The typical immigrant is trying to adapt to their new home over being some nutty evangelist insisting we do things their way since they are now here.
When you have actually visited and talked with a Muslim who now lives here, you have some basis for your theory of non-immigration. Otherwise, it is nothing but fear and lack of real knowledge about welcoming strangers to our homes . . .
