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?

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.

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

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.
