This is an interesting article about how Muslims are assimilating in the Bible-belt. Apropo considering recent interests in Islam/Muslims spurned by Dr. Carson's ill-received statement.

Thank for provoking a thought-provoking article CPT Ahmed Faried.
I believe there are well-meaning Muslims who have come to this country over the past few decades after escaping/immigrating from countries where corruption runs rampant in Africa, Middle East, old Soviet republics and south Asia. People that want to become part of the melting pot that is known as the USA should be welcome and should feel welcome.
It is refreshing when people stand up for those they differ from. The opposite happened in Nazi Germany when the government divided and incrementally destroyed those they felt threatened by.
I have shared my Christian faith with Sunni and Shia Muslims in this nation in situations that would be unheard of and life-threatening for them and me in their homelands. For that I am thankful.
In other cases Wahhabi doctrine evangelists have deliberately established madrasas and settled quietly in communities in eastern Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan, Virginia, etc. That developing situation and the idea of Muslims infiltrating to deliberately undermine communities is disturbing. I hope that all terrorists and their supporters are taken out as soon as possible.

SCPO Eddie Wilson - Well I was required to read Catch 22 as a cadet at West Point. At the time my company tactical officer was major major which made reading that book surreal. :-)

Agreed on your response. Wahabists are terrorists who claim to be Muslim, there is no place in civilized society for them.

That woman on the right side of the photo should consider more comfortable shoes for a racist, hate filled, anti-American, ignorant protest. She might need to run up on someone and stomp the Obama out of them. Looks to me like she could turn her ankle pretty easily.

i think she does it to sell her books. She's punking her supporters. She and Bill Maher are great friends afterall.
