Muslim immigration working out great up here in Canada

[Lincoln]

Seriously, the absolute nicest people that I know are all Arab immigrants. My Dad often speaks of how the 2 Muslim Arabs are the best workers where he works, and everyone likes them. The only guys I talk to at College are 2 Arabs, we don't speak about religion or anything. All the White people in my course are fucking assholes, but the 2 Arabs are great guys. The store across the street from my parents' place, I go in there and the Arab Muslim immigrant gives me discounts, has conversations with me, just a generally great guy. The nicest, hardest working girl at my part time job is an Arab Muslim immigrant. Boy, things are working out great up here.

I wonder why everywhere else is having trouble?

So are you already planning to blow yourself up in a mall?

How are you going to make generlaztions from such a limited number of people.

I wouldn't judge a whole race of people based on expierences with 4 individuals.

I fail to see the connection.

Well I was using specific examples. When's the last time you heard of clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims in Canada? Meanwhile, I bet Canada has more Arabs (proportionality wise) than the US. I find it strange.

You can say the same thing about the way people generalize a man with a beard and a turban walking down the street, minding his own bees wax, and people stare at him because they believe he may be strapped with some TNT around his waste or because he may be a member of Al-Queda.

There's a rule of thumb when it comes to all groups/races/creeds of people: some are good and some are bad. I have never had a bad experience with Muslims. They are some of the kindest, most generous people I have ever came in contact with. I can't say I know how the Muslims in the Middle East are because I've never been there, but the ones in the United States, and I assume Canada, are for the most part decent citizens.

The point of my post was to showhat Lincoln posted was ignorant.

If somebody came out saying I've met 6 people from germany, and they were all nice, so that means every german is nice. I'd post up the same shit.

Generalization = Bad.

I didn't say that at all, you completely ignored the point of my post I guess.

Why can Muslim/Arab immigrants assimilate great into Canada, but not into the US?
Melting pot vs. Cultural Mosaic I guess.

Who's claiming Muslims can't assimilate into the United States?

I hear of clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims in the US all the time, wanting to attack each other and whatnot. Of course some can assimilate, I just feel that their isn't tension up here between everyone.

I will look for some later on.

But you should know nothing in my post targetted Americans, it was more towards Europe. Oh well.

Generalizations are bad? Is that only when they're positive generalizations about Arabs/Muslims? The reason I ask is because when people like CWalker make negative generalizations, you don't ever say "Generalizations are bad". Just like our government, when dictators let us use their country's resources, they're good dictators, but when they nationalize their land, they suddenly become evil dictators. No wonder you have no problem with our foreign policy, double standards are your thing.

[mauzip]

Good dictators? Explain.

You see, we used to like Saddam. He let us own some of the oil in his country. He was killing people, but we didn't care. When he nationalized the oil fields, he suddenly became a "bad dictator" who kills his people (even though he had been doing it for years).
