Why let moslems into predominantly Christian countries? That is my argument.
It appears matters have gone past that point. Since we have and continue to admit them, practical pragmatic attitudes and procedures need to be used.
I have known a local muslim businessman, for about 45 years. He was Palestinian but served in Vietnam, combat, Sargent E5.
He is an American and well respected for his civic life. His son is learning his business. The wife/Mom wears a small headcover.
One of the most hardworking people I have known.
I do not think he wants to blow us up. I think he wants a fair shake for his fellow Palestinians.
For 45 years we can talk, not scream or hit each other. We smile, shake hands, he says hello to my wife. We are sincerely cordial.
Other muslims are likewise prominent well known business people in our city-center (beach).
Same goes for some Copts, too. I think none of us want the "troubles" brought here.
