American culture is predicated upon the freedom of religious practice and the pursuit of happiness. It is a country driven by secular dreams where the practice of religion is just part or not of every day life.
Muslim culture is predicated upon the Muslim religion and all its tenets first. Freedom of thought is not an option. Modesty and submission are the norm of daily life. A good Muslim is a person that lives by the Laws of the Koran. Anyone else is an infidel .
What Americans need to do is familiarize and educate themselves on what it means to be a Muslim. There are about 7 million Muslims living in the United Sates. They know all there is know about us. I would venture to say that more than 85% of Americans know nothing about Muslims, even though there are so many in this country.
The USA represents exactly what Muslims oppose. Freedom of expression, freedom to choose whatever lifestyle we want for ourselves. These freedoms are an anathema to the average Muslim living anywhere in the world, even to those living here in America. They do enjoy equality here, something not known in most Muslim countries. Muslims here are blessed like any other immigrant in having the freedom to prosper and live in peace. But to the Muslim, such concepts short wire their fuse – even to those that live here and enjoy these very benefits. The Muslims believe they will witness our demise and see their ascendency to world supremacy and domination. They are not too far from that goal; 1 in every 5 humans on this earth, is a Muslim.
Muslims world-wide are united by the Koran and the practice of its tenets. A good Muslim lives his life, as a Muslim first , and then as a man. It is a people driven and ominously directed by the pursuits of zealot adherents. They see Americans as spoiled, naive, hypocritical, and yes, uneducated and unrefined. We are the Infidels living in the twilight. They are simply offended by our permissive lifestyle. Speak to any Muslim and you will walk away feeling their disdain. It is what it is. No right, no wrong. It just is.
