dhimmi:
As an independent observer and a Chaplain of a federal prison, I have to admit that one of the MOST vibrant Muslim communities in the US is the Pakitani Muslims community. They are known as "engines" who drive others to what they want.
They have excelled in: Building new Mosques, buying churches and converting them in to madressas, giving Dawas in the Prisons (6 out of 8 Sunni volunteers in my prison are Pakistanis) Engineering, Medicine, even Taxi driving. I sometimes marvel at their commitments and sacrifices to their religion.
So, call them Pakistanis or call them Tabligees, its NOT going to hinder them from what they are determined to do in the US.
And legally, we can't stop them either.
God Bless
Mary
