Muslim Immigrants

This Muslim immigrant Mohamed Reza Taheri-azara who tried faithfully to follow his prophet and the Koran is fortunate that he tried his martyrdom in the US.

" I did not act out of hatred for America but out of love for Allah instead. I live only to serve Allah by obeying all of his commandments of which I am aware by reading and learning the contents of the Koran"

Where Muslims are concerned, everything seems like a one way street. Non Muslims must be careful not to offend Islam in any
way for fear of death. Yet Muslims are free to insult, assault, demonize, and kill, in the name of Islam. The widespread
passion show that radical, passionate, violent, actions are not the work of a few fanatics. They are the worldwide
emotions of millions of Muslims.

In the US, Mohamed Taheri would be treated humanely under our system of justice. He will not taken out to the yard on a Friday after prayers and beheaded.

It appears to me that most of the Muslims contributing to these threads are either immigrants, students, or the second generation born of immigrants. They are here because the West offers them ample aid or subsidies, a free education, the protection of the law, ample opportunity, wealth & FREEDOM that the Islamic countries they come from lack or do not have. They are mainly here by choice and definitely NOT by invitation. None are too happy or eager to leave the 'decadent' west. WHY?.

In the West they can can say & do virtually what they want. There is no danger that they would be harmed as in the Islamic countries that they left, where an early morning walk through the streets one would find the bodies of the tortured, or summarily executed the day before..

They fully well know, if they return to the countries they came from; that one day an innocent or silly statement or any action that can be misconstrued, could find their mutilated bodies in the morning.
