Muslim Immigrants Must Not Assimilate, Says Progressive Ally Linda Sarsour

[Revmitchell]

Muslims in the United States should not assimilate into American society, but should instead act “to please Allah and only Allah,” said Linda Sarsour, a rising star among progressive Democrats, last weekend.
Sarsour’s remarks were part of a July 1 speech given at the annual meeting of the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA. She said:

Our number one and top priority is to protect and defend our community. It is not to assimilate and to please any other people in authority. Our obligation is to our young people, is to our women, to make sure our women are protected in our community, and our top priority, even higher than all those priorities, is to please Allah and only Allah.

We are never to cower to the powers that be, we are never to give up any part of our identity so somebody else can open a door for us. If a door does not open, guess what we do? We build a new door and walk through our own door, because we have that right in this country to also open opportunities for us and other communities.

I believe assimilation will happen with Muslim immigrants but will take longer.

Problem : what happens in the "longer"? Radicalization?

No it wont

Which won't? The assimilation or the radicalization?

I agree the radicalization won't happen if we eliminate the possibility.

Assimilation? Yes they will. My wife and I have Muslim friends. e.g. A younger couple than us but the woman befriended my wife at their workplace because my wife did not enter into the worldly forms of socialization and entertainment. We became good friends and my wife tutored the woman in the western culture and they did enter into it as much as possible,we have been able to introduce them to Christianity without any bad feelings.

One year we invited them to our Christmas family gathering and they came! All they wanted was a promise of no pork products. We had a roast turkey We had bought them a present - a kitchen clock, we saw they had none on a visit to them. The woman was brought to tears and very thankful.

We were later invited to naming ceremonies (non worship) of two of their children where we were introduced to all sorts of new (to us) and delicious Muslim food (they are from The Gambia in Africa - yes they are black).

Even after our move 60 miles away we are still close friends.

Not to mention our Jewish friends.

There are exceptions to every rule. By and large their presence here is about taking over the world.

Well then, those who don't want to "take over the world" should be allowed.

Our friend (the husband) now holds a high level management position in a WA based company.

We have known them almost 20 years.

They were both very agreeable to being "Americans".
They have now educated themselves in our schools, learned very good English.
They now own a very nice home.

She dresses western. She works! She learned to drive.

They are not alone. When we socialize with them they also have friends displaying the same desires.

Their children are almost totally assimilated into our culture. Yes perhaps they are exceptional but befriending them certainly helped the transition.

Assimilate? Does that mean to put on a false fanny?
