9/11 terrorists were by no means homegrown. This FBI activity seems designed to create suspicion of American Muslim communities, which in reality are for the most part like other American communities, and effectively assimilated into American culture.
You were wrong here asbie.
I will never advocate for FBI, FBI do have abused their power in dealing with Muslim community.
Sometimes, these informants give wrong information about the people. It is really messy.
But there is no assimilation of Muslims taking place. Muslim community is loyal to mecca and Islamic world. They don't love America. They are very isolated, and hate being around "Kuffars(infidels)". Even the second generation of Muslims, who were born here have their alliance with mecca. They don't trust their government and have no sympathies for US Army at all.
Lots of burkas and beards, absolutely no assimilation.
They make fun of American culture, and consider themselves superior to non-Muslims.
Being neutral observant, I must mention here, Muslim community in United States is facing worst kind of discrimination and hatred in every aspect of their life. Muslims are the most hated group in United States, more than even atheists.
We can accuse FBI of misusing power, but at the same time, we must say against our own Muslim community which is not willing to assimilate.
I am not asking muslims to drink or have sex outside marriage as common in american culture, but at least love this country and give respect to American culture, as it is. At least give respect to freedom, they have got from here.
I will not consider it assimilation, when 52 percent of Muslim community wants shariah law in country.
Our own personal anecdotal experiences, while relevant, do not make for an overall trend.
No that is not true. I am trying my best to assimilate in American culture. Now don't ask me to drink beer/wine and get a girl friend. I am atheist Ex-Muslim and I have my own morals and ethics.
I don't know why the fuck FBI's man told me to get a woman, I am still thinking.
Overall trends are bad, No assimilation taking place. Situation is not good within muslim community, radicalization is one of the major issue in community,
Roughly 250 Americans have attempted to join jihadists in Syria, according to government estimates. One in six are women.
