Muslims happy with life in US despite discrimination: Poll

[roadrunner]

Please link me to one, just one, "Latino terrorist" act.

And no, don't include robbery or criminal stuff, I'm talking about terrorism for reasons other than personal benefits.

THE LINK IS GIVEN ABOVE. READ IT INSTEAD OF GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES.

If you don't like the rules, you're welcome to get the hell out

A bit like you then, or perhaps you got booted out

 

[VCheng]

As usual, you're incorrect


So, that being said, let’s think for ourselves and do some research: exactly what percent of Muslims are terrorists? Well, according to FBI files, which can be accessed through fbi.gov, only 6 percent of terrorists are Muslim. The remaining percentage of terrorist attacks on U.S. territory includes: Latinos at 42 percent, extreme Left Wing groups at 24 percent, Jewish extremists at 7 percent, Communists at 5 percent, and other terrorist organizations at 16 percent.

And as usual, you misunderstand my post.

I was referring to the comments as to WHY Mormons are NOT regarded as suspects. It is because no Mormon has blown himself up along with innocent people. This reponse has nothing to do with the percentages that you quote.

English comprehension is not a strong point of the Think Tank, or generally on PDF, it seems. (j/k)

I read the link, besides stating the numbers, it gives no proof or any examples of "Latino terrorist" act. And it's from an unknown Muslim website. Not a reliable valid source.

Haha, nah they would never boot a gem like me out. Dad finished his studies so he wanted to come back to our country

most US muslims have origins from which countries ? Like UK muslims are mostly from Pak ?

Most US Muslims have origins from Arab countries. Its not like UK here, there are not as many Pakistanis here as there are Arabs.


And as for discrimination, it depends where you go. Here in the north-east theres not much discrimination against Muslims because theres a lot of us and we always stick together. In the south and mid-west...people can get racist towards anyone who look different, or have different sounding names.

Yes Muslims are everywhere in the world Alhumdulilah.

And more people here in the west are converting to Islam. Alhumdulilah.

Incorrect. The largest number of Muslim in USA are from Pakistan. Arabs do have the largest concentration of Muslims in Michigan, in and around Dearborn, but overall, not as many of them as Pakistanis.

Any source to back up your claim? I know New York has a large Pakistani population, there is even a large Arab population in New York, but once you are outside New York and go to Mosques you will find more Arabs than Pakistanis. I've been to UK, and USA does not have a very large Pakistani population like UK does. Pakistanis are only 200,000 in this nation of 350 million.

Well, there is this detail:

The survey also provided a demographic description of the US Muslim population which is generally hard to ascertain because the US census does not question respondents about religion.

It found that 63% of Muslim Americans were born abroad, of whom one in four arrived after 2000.

Foreign-born Muslims are a very diverse group, with no single country accounting for more than one in six immigrants. Four in ten immigrated from the Middle East or North Africa while about a quarter came from South Asia, 11% came from Sub-Sahara Africa and 7% came from Europe.

Among the roughly one in five Muslims whose parents were also born in the United States, 59% are African American, including a sizable majority who have converted to Islam.

It also found that the US Muslim population has grown by about 400,000 since 2007 to 2.75 million people, of whom 1.8 million are 18 or older.

... and further details indicate that the single larges contribution is from Pakistan.

Hello Mr A grade comprehension genius.

Here it is again. Far right terror, extreme left terror, jewish terror, animal rights terror is greater than islamic terror in the US.

Therefore to single out Muslims as terror suspects is inappropriate when other groups do greater amounts of terror attacks in the US.

The link is all over the internet. Don't you know how to search?

What's wrong with a Muslim site anyway? Are they all false?

Since September 11, the threat of internationally based Islamic extremist networks has dominated concerns of Homeland Security officials. And while authorities say the threats posed by homegrown Islamic extremism is growing, the FBI has reported that roughly two-thirds of terrorism in the United States was conducted by non-Islamic American extremists from 1980-2001; and from 2002-2005, it went up to 95 percent.

it of course must be a mooooslem website surely?

Effing Triple AAA to you Sir!

My comment is correct about Mormons, and despite my clear explanation is obviously your comprehension still.

Why are you insisting on bringing useless racial prevalence of terrorism into it when it has NOTHING to do with what I said?

The "Think Tank" is distinctly short on both thought and depth, if you are any example, and this time I am serious.

Mormons are not usual terrorism suspects because my comment about them is correct. The rest of your comment has nothing to add to that correct statement.

The sad thing is, I have faced racism and hardly by white people.

Mormons do not get targeted as suspects in the us. they do get discrimination from within society because of their beliefs and behaviour. two different things. I did seem to have overlooked your response to the poster. i wasnt paying much attention. regardless you didnt point out the above and missed out the general point that many other groups commit terrorism as well. I'd describe your post as accurate in its reply but disingenous.

I was expecting too much I suppose for the gist of my general point to be taken, that it is not muslims that commit the majority of us terrorism and so it would be unfair to target muslims to a greater degree than other groups.

Ah, that explains why I could not understand why you were so tangential to my post, since you had not read it. As you have now accepted my post as accurate, I must respect your opinion of it, disagreeing with it as I do.

I was expecting too much I suppose for the gist of my general point to be taken, that it is not muslims that commit the majority of us terrorism and so it would be unfair to target muslims to a greater degree than other groups.

Both bolded points are correct and I accept them Sir.
